About the company
We're working with an established New Zealand technology business that's investing heavily in modernising its platform and engineering practices.

With new technical leadership in place, there's a real focus on building scalable systems, improving how engineering teams operate and creating a stronger foundation for future growth.

The role
We're looking for Senior Software Engineers to help bridge the gap between an existing .NET and SQL Server platform and a new AWS serverless, event-driven architecture.

This isn't about maintaining legacy systems indefinitely or starting a greenfield build from scratch. It's about understanding what exists, keeping it running safely and progressively moving functionality onto a modern platform.

You'll remain hands-on, taking ownership of technical decisions while helping guide a small team of 3-4 engineers through the transition.

What you'll be doing

• Working across existing C#/.NET and SQL Server systems and new cloud-native services.
• Designing and delivering incremental platform migrations without disrupting live systems.
• Building new capabilities using modern, event-driven architecture.
• Guiding and mentoring engineers through technical change.
• Contributing to architecture, engineering standards, automation and production reliability.

About you
You'll be an experienced, hands-on engineer who enjoys modernising complex systems and helping others develop.

We're particularly interested in:

• Strong C#/.NET and SQL Server experience, including legacy and modern environments.
• Experience migrating or modernising established production platforms.
• Exposure to AWS, distributed systems or event-driven architecture.
• Strong technical judgement, particularly around reliability and data integrity.
• Experience providing technical leadership while remaining actively involved in development.

You don't need to be an expert in every part of the new architecture. The ability to understand complex systems, make sound technical decisions and bring others along is just as important.

You'll be joining at a point where there's plenty to influence, from architectural decisions and engineering practices to how the new platform takes shape. It's a chance to tackle some genuinely complex technical challenges while remaining close to the code.
