Job description

Are you an experienced Java, PHP, C#, C++, Ruby, Python, or Golang developer looking to make an exciting change? Ditch the monolith and build new Golang microservices as a Senior Back‑end Engineer in Newmarket. You will perform at a high level, rapidly building solutions for retailers, focusing on iteration, experimentation and stability. The role is primarily back‑end but you may get involved in front‑end work if you show interest.

Engineering @ Lightspeed

  • We build new features on a modern stack : web apps in Angular & React communicating with Go services, backed by databases and Kafka, all deployed with Docker in a continuous delivery cycle to AWS.
  • Experience in any of our specific technologies is not required – we teach engineers how to use our modern SaaS stack.
  • We work in an agile, iterative way; Scrum / Kanban are not rigidly followed.
  • Deployments to production occur on average every 7 minutes.
  • We value a blameless culture and continuous improvement.

What you’ll be doing

  • Develop and maintain software : coding, implementing new features, reviewing code, fixing bugs, engaging in pair programming and incident response.
  • Take ownership of features and contribute to impactful projects with accountability.
  • Break down projects into actionable tasks to maximize efficiency and deliver value quickly.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers and designers to plan and coordinate upcoming tasks.
  • Continuously learn and share knowledge through chapter reviews, demos, and mentoring fellow engineers.
  • Enhance common services and shared libraries, upgrade tools and frameworks, improve documentation and refine best practices.
  • What you need to bring

  • Senior level experience as a Back‑end Engineer with a proven track record – successes and failures (“scars”) that guide better decisions.
  • Deep knowledge in at least one of the following : Golang, Java, PHP, C#, C++, Ruby, Python, Elixir.
  • Experience building major systems in one or more languages, ideally REST API endpoints atop data storage layers, with an understanding of authentication, web security and frontend consumption of APIs.
  • Ability to mentor and train other engineers in the team.
  • Be a changemaker

    You’ll enjoy :

  • A flexible work environment that empowers you to do your best work.
  • A culture that celebrates performance.
  • The chance to make an impact in a team that’s large enough for career growth yet lean enough for your voice to be heard.
  • Career‑defining opportunities.
  • Benefits

  • Lightspeed share scheme (we are all owners)
  • Unlimited paid time off policy
  • Work remotely from anywhere for up to 60 days per year
  • Flexible working policy
  • Health and wellness benefit of $500 per year
  • Mental health online platform and counselling & coaching services
  • Paid leave and assistance for new parents
  • Free LinkedIn Learning license
  • Paid Volunteer day
  • Premium cover if you sign up for health insurance with Southern Cross
  • Exciting events hosted regularly by our Auckland Culture Club
  • Subsidised public transportation to cover up to 75% of your commuting costs
  • Secure, full‑time parking facilities
  • Dog‑friendly office environment
  • Complimentary breakfast and lunch options, plus fresh fruits, snacks and beverages stocked in the office
  • Newly renovated office space situated in Newmarket (Auckland)
  • Interview Support

    At Lightspeed, we acknowledge the unique challenge of hiring diverse talent. We offer Supported Interviews : bring whānau or a support person with you during any interview (excluding the initial recruiter phone call) to help you display your full range of strengths.

    Equal Opportunity

    Lightspeed is a proud equal opportunity employer and we are committed to creating an inclusive and barrier‑free workplace. We welcome applications from people with disabilities and provide accommodations on request.

    Additional Information
