Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Phocas Software Full time NZ$80,000 - NZ$120,000 per year

Ever spotted a clunky workflow or messy bit of code and thought, "We can do better than this"? Great — that's exactly the mindset we're looking for.

For over 20 years, we've been building financial planning and analytics products that turn complexity into clarity. We're constantly refining, learning, and improving — and we love people who bring that same energy.

What you'll do

  • Contribute to the ongoing development and maintenance of our Identity and Access Management system.
  • Support the evolution of our Core platform to keep it reliable, secure, and high-performing.
  • Work closely with other teams to turn ideas, feedback, and customer needs into real improvements.
  • Get to know an established, complex codebase — understand how it works and help make it cleaner, safer, and more efficient.
  • Bring curiosity, initiative, and thoughtful problem-solving to your day-to-day work.

What you'll bring

  • Experience building with React and C#.
  • Confidence digging into larger systems and understanding how pieces fit together.
  • An ability to spot issues and propose practical, elegant solutions.
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach — you like working things out with others.
  • A focus on writing secure, maintainable, and reliable code.

Why you'll love it here

  • The people — our team is the #1 reason folks love working at Phocas.
  • Fun social events, plenty of snacks, and a genuinely supportive culture.
  • 10% professional development time — one day per fortnight dedicated to learning.
  • A sunny Sydenham office with loads of space and parking for all kinds of wheels.
  • Southern Cross health insurance, plus life, TPD, and income protection cover.
  • Extra paid parental leave.
  • Flexible/hybrid working options.

We're an Accredited Employer and welcome global talent — but due to current visa settings, we can only consider applicants with existing NZ work rights.

Phocas is an Equal Opportunity Employer: All qualified applicants will be considered regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or veteran status.
