A**bout Sandfield**

We're a leading, Kiwi-owned software business that prides itself on NOT just being a conventional tech company.

We've been backing ourselves and our ability to create great solutions for clients since we first opened our doors in 1989. Since then, we've developed some pretty innovative systems for clients, leaving other, more high-profile software packages in the dust.

Our work facilitates high-performance supply chains for the likes of Mainfreight, Qube and HWR Richardsons and keeps millions of orders and data points flowing for Foodstuffs. It also manages business finances for Team Global Express and Green Acres, helps fill seats on the Interislander for KiwiRail, and keeps Les Mills members engaged.

**Our pitch to you**

Our developers get to deal directly with our clients. We spend just as much time nurturing soft skills, such as communication and business acumen, as we do helping our developers be even more 'ninja' at their coding.

We guarantee you that 'every day' will be interesting, varied, challenging and fun You'll get to work with a range of other smart developers of all levels, who are really great people too. They're mountain bikers, road bikers, skiers, runners, active relaxers, video gamers, animal lovers, movie buffs, gym buffs, foodies, wine critics, bakers and musicians. They're also family people, single people, party people, quiet people, loud people and happy people.

Our collaborative culture is at the centre of everything we do at Sandfield, making it a pretty special workplace. We know this because people don't tend to leave - i.e. the average length of service here is at least five years.
