Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Phocas Software Full time
Simple isn't easy. We should know.


Across 20+ years of delivering financial planning and analytics products that are simple to use, we've overcome numerous complex challenges.

Along the way we've had plenty of failures, but from each one we try to learn and push forward with an alternative approach.

This is how we've stayed at the leading edge, creating products that are changing the way the world works.

Our teams are empowered to solve customer problems in the way they think is best.

We trust them to make good decisions about what problems to solve and how to solve them, and we give them the space to excel.

Learning and improvement is critical to our success, and as part of this there is time set aside for our engineers to spend on their personal development.


What will you be doing?


You'll work on processes that ingest terabytes of customer data each day, tools that allow our customers to create dedicated ETL pipelines, and systems that build tens of thousands of BI cubes daily.

It's a technically challenging role that will see you creating high quality solutions within an environment that's used by thousands of customers with diverse data needs.

As a senior team member you'll help uphold the team's high standards and guide the learning of less experienced developers.


Right now, the team is improving the performance of customer data flows, building tools that can manipulate data powerfully but without compromising on security, and adding to our suite of third party API connectors.

You'll architect new tools and processes as well as modify a wide range of existing components, so you'll need to enjoy getting stuck into a variety of technologies to respond to customer needs.


What are we looking for?

  • A confident, experienced developer who can make and communicate wellinformed technical and architectural decisions
  • A strong history of developing web services built on C# and SQL, and a familiarity with REST APIs
  • Experience delivering software products in a multitenant cloud environment ideally AWS
  • Enthusiasm and passion, a willingness to learn, curiosity, and a growth mindset
  • A sense of fun and a genuine desire to work as part of a diverse, collaborative team
Experience working with data at scale, or on financial products would be a plus.

What's in it for you?

  • Competitive salary and stock options plan
  • Benefits include life cover, income protection insurance and subsidised health cover
  • Work with some of the best tech talent in Christchurch
  • Spacious, centrally located offices with free parking and easy motorway access
  • Flexible hybrid working policy

_Generally Phocas is a strong supporter of international talent, however due to current visa settings and processing times, at present we are only considering applicants who hold NZ working rights for this position._
