Job description

Senior Back End Developer

We are Thematic, a fully remote fast‑growing SaaS company that uses AI to analyze customer feedback and help brands increase satisfaction and loyalty.

Base pay range : NZ$160,000.00 / yr – NZ$175,000.00 / yr.

Why this role stands out

  • Make a tangible impact from day one : you'll play a key role in building the core infrastructure and product architecture
  • Operate in a small but powerful engineering team. Your ideas, code, and decisions will matter
  • Work on a real and useful AI product. Not a prototype. You will help take AI models out of the lab and into meaningful real‑world features
  • Learn and grow : leverage cutting‑edge AI and dev tools, stay ahead of the curve, and help shape our engineering practices
  • Fully remote : you thrive working independently, remotely, and collaboratively. Proven track record required

What you'll do

  • Design, build and maintain the infrastructure and services that power our AI product and platform
  • Collaborate with product, data engineering, and research teams to transform ideas into scalable features
  • Write clean, maintainable code that meets reliability, scalability and performance standards
  • Use AI engineering tools (code generation, data pipelines, model deployment) to accelerate development without sacrificing discipline
  • Drive engineering best practices : CI / CD, testing, monitoring, and performance optimization
  • Mentor and support fellow engineers; contribute to team culture and tech direction
  • Requirements

  • Senior‑level engineer (5+ years experience or equivalent) with a strong foundation in software engineering fundamentals : algorithms, systems design, APIs, data systems
  • Deep experience in backend, infrastructure, microservices or cloud‑native environments
  • Comfortable working fully remotely : you have done it, enjoyed it, and can excel without a day in a traditional office
  • Demonstrated experience using AI‑adjacent tools : code automation, model deployment, data pipelines, large‑scale services
  • You bring a "traditional engineering mindset" while embracing the latest tools to create fast, efficient, robust outcomes
  • Excellent communicator and collaborator because remote requires strong self‑management, clear communication and accountability
  • Must‑haves

  • Passionate about building products people get value from
  • 4 or more years of experience in at least one of the core technologies we use
  • Backend (Python, Flask)
  • AWS Infrastructure (ECS, Batch, Lambda, monitoring, compliance)
  • Uses AI tools, and has (or wants to) build AI systems
  • Experience working in a remote environment with a distributed team
  • Based in New Zealand with a right to work here
  • Enjoy continuously learning and growing
  • What you might have

  • Experience building SaaS products
  • Working in a small company
  • Appreciation for understanding and translating what the customer wants
  • Familiar with code‑generation tools and AI‑assisted development
  • Benefits & Culture

  • Flexible working hours : trust‑based autonomy, not micromanagement
  • Equity (ESOP)
  • Monthly 'remote work' stipend of NZD 400 to spend as you want
  • Salary Range : $160k-$175k NZD
  • If you're excited by the idea of building something meaningful, working alongside talented peers, and making a real difference then we'd love to hear from you.

    Join us! Let's build the future together.
