  • Got a passion for crafting and supporting resilient, adaptable systems in an evolving operating environment?

We have a great opportunity on offer to be part of making a genuine change to how we protect New Zealand's borders and reduce harm to New Zealanders.

New Zealand Custom's IS Protection team is responsible for the business applications that protect New Zealand's borders. The purpose of those applications is to make our country safer and more secure by identifying and managing the risks associated with the international movement of goods, people, and mail, preventing risk from reaching our borders and reducing harm to New Zealanders.

As a Senior Applications Developer in our Protection product team, you will have the opportunity to work on some of Custom's most business-critical applications and to make a positive impact to making New Zealand safer.

This is a full-time permanent role. Preference for this role is to be based in Wellington, but we are open to applications from candidates nationwide as this role could be based in any one of our Customhouses around New Zealand. Reporting to the Product Manager (Protection), you will be responsible for the development of new capabilities for the Protection team.

As a Senior Applications Developer, you will be responsible for the development of new product capabilities; the ongoing maintenance and support of those products in production; as well as supporting and contributing to continuous improvement development and delivery practices. You will use your design, build, CI/CD pipeline, containerisation, deployment automation, testing and validation, and issue resolution skills; to deliver and support quality solutions to our customers.

Working with the Product Manager and Protection team, you will ensure enterprise standards and processes are adhered to and feed into the growth of these standards.

What we value in the Protection team:

  • Being focused on customer needs and how we can best deliver business value
  • Leveraging your knowledge and analytical skills to solve difficult problems with effective solutions
  • Visibility and transparency
  • Focusing on delivering value early
  • Embracing diversity, inclusion, and belonging for our people

About you | Ko wai koe

To help us achieve this vision, we are seeking a talented and motivated Senior Applications Developer to join our team who is able to provide strong problem-solving skills and proven creativity to produce customer focused technical solutions.

To be successful in this role you will need to have experience in a similar role and be able to demonstrate the following:

  • Good knowledge of how to work across the entire development lifecycle, from initial discovery, to build and quality assurance, through to value measurement and support
  • The proven ability to work well in a team in a highly collaborative manner
  • Able to adapt to and learn new technologies and methodologies as required
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

If you thrive in a complex and ever-changing environment and have a passion for continuous improvement and making a genuine difference to New Zealand, then we want you on our team

At Te Mana Ārai | Customs, we aim to create a great place to work, where our people have a sense of belonging and the capability and desire to meet our future challenges. We are an organisation that is clear about our mission, and this is underpinned by Te Pou Tokomanawa (the Foundations) and our Whanonga Pono (Values). Our work really matters to the safety and success of New Zealand.

We care about well-being, personal growth, and job satisfaction, which is supported through:

  • offering on-the-job training, formal courses and leadership programmes, and the chance to move across diverse roles

  • providing discounted health insurance, and free on-site gyms (in some locations)
  • Three days of service holidays, in addition to four weeks of annual leave.

  • a New Zealand Citizen or New Zealand Permanent Resident who has resided in New Zealand for the last 5 years and resides in NZ at the time of application. You may have been absent from New Zealand for periods of six or more months within the past five years, preferably in one or more of the following countries: either Australia, Canada, UK or the USA. You will be required to provide overseas police certificates for these periods spent outside of New Zealand.

You must have a background history that is verifiable and can be assessed as appropriate by the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service towards a recommendation of suitability for security clearance at a higher level. Due to the nature of Customs work, you must have a clear Police record. The successful applicant will also be required to pass a drug test as well as being subject to random, ongoing drug tests during their period of employment with Customs. These requirements apply to all successful applicants for roles at Customs and Customs employees.
