  • Lead Tech Engineer
  • Permanent opportunity
  • Hybrid working
Join one of New Zealand’s most forward-thinking fintechs, dedicated to delivering innovative, tech-driven financial solutions that make a real impact on Kiwi businesses and the wider economy.

This is your opportunity to take a technical leadership role in a purpose-led, high-growth tech environment — one that blends cutting-edge technology with a meaningful mission. Based in Auckland CBD with flexible hybrid work options, this role is perfect for an experienced engineer who enjoys both hands-on development and coaching others.

About the Role

As a Lead Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the architecture, practices, and direction of the engineering function. You’ll work across Engineering, DevOps, QA, and Product teams to build high-performing, scalable platforms that support the company's strategic goals.

This is a newly created role due to growth and transformation. It’s ideal for someone who thrives in collaborative, product-led environments and who wants to be part of a company that values innovation, agility, and continuous improvement.

What We’re Looking For
  • 10+ years in software development, including 7+ years with .NET Core & C#
  • Proven leadership and mentoring experience
  • Strong skills in RESTful APIs, Azure, and PostgreSQL
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Docker/Kubernetes, and IaC tools (e.g., Bicep, Terraform)
  • Sound knowledge of application security and Agile/TDD practices
  • Bonus: Exposure to JavaScript/TypeScript, Angular, or AI tools like GitHub Copilot
Who You Are
  • A proactive self-starter who’s passionate about tech and building things that matter
  • Experienced working in fast-paced, startup or scale-up environments
  • Customer-centric with a growth mindset and flexible attitude
  • A collaborative communicator who enjoys mentoring others and leading by example
If you’re an experienced engineer ready to take a leadership step in a purpose-driven fintech environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Please get in touch with Ransi Ekanayake or Clare Saunders for more details!

Please note you must be eligible to work in New Zealand.
