  • NZ-based, fully remote team with flexible structure
  • Work across modern backend, frontend, and ops stack
  • Self-hosted infrastructure - low cloud dependency

Our client is rethinking how small businesses interact with their finances. Instead of traditional accounting tools, they've built a real-time financial visibility platform that speaks the language of everyday business owners, not just accountants. Backed by paying customers and influential supporters, the company is poised for meaningful growth.

About the Role:
You'll take a central role in leading product development, shaping architecture, and contributing to roadmap direction alongside the founding team. Expect to work across the stack, support customers, influence infrastructure decisions, and lay the foundations for a growing engineering team.

Skills & Experience:

  • Strong full-stack product development background
  • Proficient in Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker
  • Comfortable with Typescript, templating (Jinja2), and Bootstrap
  • Experience with self-hosted or hybrid infrastructure
  • Solid InfoSec awareness
  • Confident in ambiguity and self-directed day-to-day structure
  • Comfortable sharing responsibility for product direction
Why Work Here?
  • Mission-driven product solving real-world problems
  • Direct impact in a small, tight-knit team
  • Remote-first across NZ with flexible hours
  • Genuine equity in product and roadmap strategy
  • Self-hosted infrastructure for full system control
  • Work with AI in non-gimmicky, practical ways
  • No silos - full visibility from code to customer
