About the Company
Our client is a fast-growing SaaS business operating in the education technology space, with a platform used by schools across multiple countries. The company is expanding into new markets and is backed by a broader global organisation, offering strong growth prospects for the right hire.

About the Role
You'll take ownership of front-end delivery (React/TypeScript) on a dynamic form-builder platform, contributing to the TypeScript backend as workload requires. Working closely with a backend-focused lead engineer, you'll join customer discovery calls, provide light customer support, and help shape a product used to support life-changing moves for international students, all within a flexible, ticket-based (Kanban) workflow.

Skills & Experience

• 2–5 years' strong commercial experience with React and TypeScript
• Comfortable reasoning through a complex web application, not just following framework conventions
• Prior SaaS or software product experience (startup or smaller company background preferred over agency/website work)
• Self-sufficient and confident working remotely with minimal oversight
• Strong written and verbal communication for remote collaboration and customer-facing work
• Genuine curiosity toward backend development (TypeScript) rather than resistance to it
• Nice to have: exposure to Kubernetes, PHP/Laravel, automated testing, CI/CD, or AI-assisted development tools

Why Work Here?

• Work From Home, fully remote role, based anywhere in New Zealand
• High-trust, flexible working hours with genuine autonomy
• Direct influence over product direction as one of only a handful of engineers
• Exposure to a complex, technically interesting product architecture
• Access to a wider global engineering team (~40 developers) for support and growth
• Real career runway as the business scales into new markets
• Modern tooling, including current-generation AI coding assistants

If you're a React/TypeScript engineer who thrives with autonomy and wants real ownership over a product that makes a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now or reach out with questions to brendan@talent.army.
