Job description

Deosan New Zealand is a proudly Kiwi-owned business trusted by farmers across Aotearoa. We’re a grassroots business with a clear purpose : supporting New Zealand farmers with products designed for our unique farming conditions. The Agora division of the Deosan Group is on a mission to transform the way farms operate.

We started as an internal project and grew into a cutting‑edge platform with national reach. Partnering with Scopious, a leading New Zealand IoT technology company, we’ve developed a secure, wireless system that delivers live data from milk vats and throughout entire farms. No hard‑wiring. No manual uploads. Just reliable telemetry built for real‑world conditions.

Joining the Agora division means being part of a team that’s passionate about innovation, sustainability, and shaping the future of farming. We’re growing fast, tackling real challenges, and creating technology that makes a tangible difference. If you’re curious, driven, and want your work to matter, this is the place for you.

About the Opportunity

We’re building simple, smart technology that works for farmers and their stakeholders. This role is central to how we deliver that. You’ll lead mobile application development across our platform, owning architecture, delivery quality, and technical leadership. We need someone who can lift standards, guide others confidently, and collaborate closely across the business. This is a long‑term role. You’ll be part of the core team shaping how we scale. The role is permanently based in Waharoa, New Zealand. If you are relocating, we’ll support that process.

What You’ll Lead

  • End-to-end mobile development across Android and iOS, including feature planning, architecture, development, testing, and deployment.
  • Mentor, coach, and develop a high-performing internal engineering capability, building a culture of accountability and shared ownership.
  • Work directly with product, operations, and leadership to translate needs into technical solutions that are reliable, scalable, and user-friendly.
  • Set development standards, review code, and improve system design, testing, and delivery processes.
  • Manage release cycles, deployment strategies, version upgrades, and ongoing performance improvements.
  • Collaborate with external partners, offshore developers, and hardware vendors, including direct communication with manufacturing and integration partners in China.

Who You Are

  • You think in systems, not patches.
  • You build environments where people do their best work.
  • You communicate with clarity and ownership.
  • You’re steady under pressure and enjoy solving real problems.
  • Your Strengths (What We’re Looking For)

  • Proven leadership experience guiding high-performing Agile Scrum teams in fast-paced delivery environments.
  • Demonstrable experience managing business-critical mobile applications within large-scale, complex enterprise environments.
  • A proven track record of not just coaching but actively building leadership pipelines and tech-sharing programs to elevate team-wide capability.
  • Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical groups; able to represent the engineering perspective clearly.
  • Strong experience in :
  • Android development ( Kotlin, Jetpack Compose )

  • iOS development exposure is beneficial
  • Backend services ( Node.js / microservices )
  • AWS, CI / CD pipelines, build automation
  • A calm, positive, collaborative presence who brings the best out of others.
  • Interested?

    Please APPLY NOW with your up‑to‑date CV and a cover letter explaining why you are interested and what you can bring to

  • @gprl.co.nz. CVs will be reviewed as they are received. Only applicants who have the right to live and work in NZ will be considered. This advert will close on Friday, 5th December 2025.
