About the role

This is a role for a developer who wants real ownership.

The team is building and scaling a SaaS product with plenty of features still to be designed, built, and improved. They’re looking for someone who doesn’t just wait for instructions, but enjoys taking responsibility for a piece of work and seeing it through from idea to production.

You’ll be part of a small product engineering team where developers are expected to think beyond the code. That means shaping solutions, making trade-offs, and leading feature development rather than just contributing to it. The company is headquartered in Wellington, but this role is open to people working fully remote.

What you’ll be working on

You’ll spend most of your time building and evolving features on a SaaS platform that continues to grow in complexity and usage. You’ll have the opportunity to take end-to-end ownership of features, from early discussion through to delivery and iteration.

That includes:

• Working on the design and implementation of new features, with a strong backend focus
• Working with product to clarify requirements and shape technical approaches
• Making architectural decisions at a feature level and explaining trade-offs to the team
• Driving work forward independently, keeping delivery moving without needing heavy direction
• Improving testing, automation, and release workflows as part of feature delivery
• Reviewing code, sharing context, and helping lift overall engineering quality
• Getting involved in deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting when needed

This role will suit you best if you:

• Have commercial experience building software in a SaaS or product environment
• Are confident leading feature development rather than waiting for detailed specs
• Have experience with C#, Entity Framework, SQL, and MVC
• Are comfortable working across JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
• Have experience with Azure or similar cloud platforms
• Understand integration patterns and scalable backend design
• Care about testing, automation, and maintainable code
• Communicate clearly and take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks

Why this role is different

• You’ll be trusted to own features and make decisions
• There’s less process and more emphasis on judgement and initiative
• Remote work is fully supported, with clear expectations and autonomy
• Your work will be visible and have a real impact on the product
• You’ll work with a team that values people who step up and take the lead

If you’re a developer who enjoys being accountable for what you build, likes guiding work rather than waiting for direction, and wants a remote-friendly role where initiative is valued, this is a great opportunity to explore.
