Christchurch, New Zealand Phocas Software Full time

At Phocas, we’ve spent over 20 years helping people feel good about data. From humble beginnings in a London backpackers to a global software company headquartered in Sydney, our mission remains the same: take the hard work out of data so our customers can focus on what matters.

We use the latest cloud technologies and the best tools for the job to delight over 2,000 customers worldwide. With 300 Phocas people (and growing), we’re proud of our culture, our product, and the impact we make.

**About the Role**:
We’re looking for a seasoned senior engineer to help lead the development of our Rebates product. Rebates, whether paid or received, are central to our customers’ businesses. It’s a complex space, full of interesting challenges: perfect for an engineer who wants to make a meaningful impact.

You’ll:

- Help shape the architectural direction of the product
- Influence the product roadmap and strategic decisions
- Collaborate closely with product, UX, and other engineering teams
- Lead by example, mentoring and supporting other engineers
- Foster a positive, high-performing team culture

**About You**:
You’re a confident, experienced full-stack developer with a lean toward the front end and a strong bias for action. You enjoy solving tough problems and take pride in delivering clean, elegant solutions. You're collaborative, growth-oriented, and love seeing a team thrive.

You bring:

- Strong experience with React, TypeScript, and either Java or C#
- Solid AWS and NoSQL (e.g., DynamoDB) knowledge
- A team-first mindset: outgoing, supportive, and energising to work with
- A thirst for learning, feedback, and continuous improvement
- A drive to simplify complexity and build software that lasts
- Phocas is an Accredited Employer and typically we are strong supporters of international talent, but due to current visa settings and processing times, we can only consider applicants with current NZ working rights._

**Why Phocas?**

Ask anyone at Phocas what they love most, and you’ll typically hear the same answer: _the people_. We’re a friendly, collaborative bunch who believe work should be rewarding and fun.

We invest in growth with **10% personal development time**: every engineer gets one day a fortnight dedicated to learning something new, experimenting, or upskilling.

Our **Sydenham office** is spacious, sunny, and well-equipped, with plenty of parking for cars, bikes, and scooters alike. Our **hybrid working policy and flexible hours** give you the freedom to do your best work, your way.

We care about your wellbeing, offering **Southern Cross health insurance**, **life, TPD and income protection insurance**, **extra paid parental leave**, and more.

At Phocas, we build great products, solve complex problems, and have a laugh doing it. If that sounds like your kind of workplace, we’d love to meet you.
