IDEXX Veterinary Software is on a mission to offer the first vertical SaaS platform for Animal Health. We’re growing our engineering tribes to tackle a range of challenges. In this phase, we’re expanding our Clinical, Practice Management & Client Engagement domain tribes.

We’re seeking skilled Senior Full Stack Engineers to join our Auckland R&D hub.

• In collaboration with your team and Product and Practice Leads, ensure engineering squads deliver:

• Prioritise pragmatic technical improvements (such as repair, debt recovery, and refactoring).  

What you need to succeed:   

• Proven experience as a Senior Software Engineer  

• Experienced in evolving culture and process towards better engagement, agility, automated testing, and DevSecOps.  

• Proven technical capability with Systems and/or software design

• Experience leading technical advancements to solve complex problems.

• Experience with unit testing 

• Strong OO design patterns, modular design  

• Experience building and consuming modern APIs

• Guide agile processes, including Scrum, Kanban, and/or others.  

• Previous experience in a scaled SaaS environment is hugely desirable

What you can expect from us: 

• Structured onboarding, induction, ongoing training, and transparent performance-driven professional development 

• Rewarding salary packages, including lucrative incentive schemes for all 

• Continuous L&D (both internal and external) 

• Great tech kit for both work and personal use 

• Hybrid working with a great office space to collaborate - including a gym and rooftop terrace! 

• Dog-friendly office 

• Fully subsidized Southern Cross Health insurance
