Browns Bay, Auckland, New Zealand Spotto Full time NZ$120,000 - NZ$180,000 per year

About Spotto

We're building the Autonomous Cloud Operations Platform — software that continuously optimizes cost, performance, security, and reliability for SaaS and Service Providers.

Our mission: make cloud operations effortless through AI and automation.

We're looking for exceptional builders who thrive where AI meets engineering.


The Role

We're hiring a Senior AI-Augmented Software Engineer to help us push the limits of AI-assisted development.

You'll work across architecture, design, and implementation — using AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery and quality.

This role suits someone with a technical founder mindset — hands-on, autonomous, and driven to turn ambitious ideas into shipped products.


What You'll Do

Build & Ship

  • Design and implement full-stack features (React/TypeScript, , Python)
  • Turn product goals into working, scalable software
  • Use AI coding tools as your primary workflow
  • Deliver fast, high-quality code with minimal oversight

AI-Augmented Development

  • Define and evolve Spotto's AI-assisted engineering standards
  • Mentor engineers on AI workflows and prompt engineering
  • Evaluate and integrate new AI tools and methods

Architect for Cloud

  • Build scalable, cloud-native systems (Azure/AWS)
  • Integrate with cloud APIs and optimize for cost and performance
  • Support Spotto's FinOps and AI-Ops capabilities

Drive Innovation

  • Prototype AI-driven automation, prediction, and remediation features
  • Contribute to product strategy and technical direction

What You'll Bring

Essential

  • Proven ability to deliver software end-to-end
  • 5+ years full-stack experience (React, , Python)
  • Strong command of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot)
  • Experience with Azure and/or AWS cloud architecture
  • Leadership mindset with bias for action and autonomy

Nice to Have

  • FinOps, Observability, or Automation experience
  • Familiarity with LLMs, AI agents, or prompt engineering
  • Startup or high-growth experience
  • Notable personal or open-source projects

You'll Succeed Here If You

  • Take ownership and work autonomously
  • Move fast without sacrificing quality
  • Think like a founder, not a task-taker
  • Stay curious and adaptable as AI evolves
  • Communicate clearly and lead by example

What You Get

  • Share options / equity — be a real stakeholder in the success
  • Competitive salary
  • Opportunity to define tech culture from the ground up
  • Work alongside founders with deep domain expertise and startup experience
  • Flexible working hours and high autonomy
