Propellerhead hires exceptional talent from all around the globe and many of our people have relocated to New Zealand to join our team. We've created this website packed full of information about moving to New Zealand to work for Propellerhead, if you're interested in making the move to our wonderful country.
The Role:
At Propellerhead, the Technical Strategist role focuses on the delivery of resilient software systems that power everything from complex infrastructure to innovative new platforms. This role works closely alongside our Product Owners to plan ahead on a portfolio of product roadmaps.
We’re looking for someone who combines architectural insight with a strong hands-on engineering background. You will have spent the formative part of your career as a software developer and still be confident with understanding the structure of software solutions. You'll have knowledge of emerging trends and be able to quickly prototype new ideas to judge their value.
You will lead and guide the design of complex systems, and we'll depend on your extensive experience, judgement and insights to ensure that early delivery and continuous improvement is possible. You’ll be applying and reinforcing Engineering standards for programming, and produce software solutions in an agile, lean, and evolutionary manner. Importantly, you will be responsible for ensuring that client platforms align with our technical strategy. You will work closely with the Chief Technologist and Engineering Principal to apply standards, patterns, and tooling in client contexts, and provide informed input into technical strategy through client platform insights and delivery experience.
Propellerhead operates a hybrid working model (work from our office and from your own home). While you must be based in Auckland for this role, we warmly welcome applications from across New Zealand and internationally who are planning to relocate to Auckland. This particular role requires regular in-person office attendance.
We offer a culture built on trust, continuous learning, and meaningful impact. You'll join a team that values integrity over ego, and clarity over complexity.
If you're looking to contribute your insight and engineering experience to projects that matter - we would like to hear from you.
