Wellington, New Zealand Ipayroll Full time

iPayroll is extremely proud to be a pioneer in cloud-based payroll solutions in New Zealand.

With the advancement of technology, many things have changed over the years, but one thing that has not changed is our commitment to deliver a quality cloud-based payroll solution.

To achieve that, we have put together a great team where people learn and grow whilst they develop products to keep us ahead of the game, and best of all, they have fun doing it.

We currently have an opening for a Senior Data Layer Engineer to join our growing team of happy, busy, opinionated (in the best way), motivated individuals who are committed to delivering exciting new things together.

The primary focus of this role is to ensure our databases continue to run smoothly to ensure a seamless flow of information to intended recipients. You’ll be passionate about optimising and improving access to our data for both internal and external users whilst ensuring security is a paramount consideration.

You will own the data layer and have the drive and experience to proactively identify, socialise, and deliver improvements to the way our systems work with data.

In addition to mentoring and sharing your knowledge with the wider development team(s), you will also be happy to ‘roll up your sleeves’ and work on projects as required – assisting with scoping, estimation, delivery, and troubleshooting issues and incidents.

You will also assist the CTO in reviewing the tools and technologies that the team uses to ensure currency and feed into the Technology roadmap for prioritising upgrades. You will lead our Data Layer Community of Practice, regularly facilitating knowledge sharing sessions and showcases with the wider technology teams.

Ideally you will be:

  • Passionate about software development and data, with a track record in delivery
  • Proactive and have the drive to make a positive contribution
  • A people-focused person with natural leadership abilities
  • Confident and have proven experience in mentoring others in development techniques and practices
  • A strong communicator with excellent problem-solving skills
  • Attentive to time management with exceptional prioritisation skills

And you also need to have:

  • Solid experience with Hibernate
  • Knowledge and experience of AWS, particularly RDS and PostgreSQL (Serverless experience would be an advantage)
  • Solid Java development experience using the Spring framework
  • Knowledge of Agile methodologies including Scrum and/or Kanban
  • A growth mindset
  • Experience with related AWS Services such as Redis and ElasticSearch
  • BI Experience

We are a fantastic group of people to work alongside. The successful applicant will be a people person; a natural leader who favours collaboration and inspires others.

Finally, why us?

We might be a small team, but we have a big heart and a big client base. We have over 11,000 customers across New Zealand and Australia, something we are very proud of. We are also New Zealand’s leading PAYE intermediary paying many thousands of employees year after year.

We are constantly looking at ways to improve and protect the service that we offer our clients, and as such, our Technology team is involved in a variety of different projects and pieces of work and often have several balls in the air. You will find yourself sharing knowledge with a team that likes to hear and share opinions, likes to listen and learn, and likes to grow. We encourage our team to learn from each other and to take advantage of the onsite training we have available to help everyone develop their skills.

We also don’t have layers and layers of management; we very much work together as a team, and the Managing Director works in the business and is always open to ideas from those that actually do the doing. Ours is a business where your voice can and will be heard.

If this sounds like you, apply today

Note: We are an office-first place of business, and you must reside in Wellington and be able to work from our central city office to be considered for this role. All applicants for this position MUST have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa.
