Join a Homegrown Kiwi Tech Success Story That’s Making Global Waves

This is not just a stepping-stone role; it is designed for someone with a solid foundation in people leadership - a person who has led a team of engineers (around 6–8 people) and understands how to balance delivery, performance, and team growth. You will bring maturity and confidence to your leadership style while still enjoying the hands-on experience of solving technical problems alongside your team.

You will be leading a cross-functional squad responsible for building and evolving a key SaaS product used in thousands of cities around the world. From architecture through to production support, you will guide the full engineering lifecycle.
