Compliance with, and promotion of, Trade Me's code of conduct, ethics, and standards.
What you will bring to our team: Tertiary qualification with a degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience).
2+ years of experience in similar roles with progressive increases in responsibility.
Passion for continuous improvement and collaboration.
Good understanding of CI/CD pipelines and best practices for optimising them.
Good understanding of Configuration Management tools.
Experience building and maintaining applications in public cloud environments such as GCP and AWS.

An eye for detail; willing to work through the little things to make our web experience faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain.
Propensity for personal motivation, initiative, adaptability and the willingness to face challenges head-on.
Understanding of clean code principles (e.g.
SOLID) with the ability to apply them in day-to-day work.
Understanding of Continuous Integration / Delivery goals and methodology.
We know some candidates can be reluctant to apply for roles if they feel they don't 'tick all the boxes'.
If you're excited about this opportunity, we'd still really like to hear from you.
