Software Engineer - Multiple Positions

Overview

We are looking for Software Engineers at Intermediate, Senior, or - for the right candidate - at Staff level. These are remote positions and you can be based from anywhere in NZ.

Portainer simplifies enterprise-grade container management. We provide tools for Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or edge compute, designed to scale with a focus on reliability and ease of use. Our open-source product has widespread adoption and is supported by a global investor base.

What does a Software Engineer do?

Software Engineers will play a key role in delivering Portainer reliably at scale and shaping the next generation of our product. You will work in an engineering team to build new versions and raise engineering practices across the organisation. This is primarily an individual contributor role with a strong expectation to complete all assigned tasks and to become an expert in a single aspect or area of the product, providing assistance when needed. You will contribute significant code and may coach others, especially in areas you are familiar with. Portainer is deployed directly into customer environments where it must manage thousands of devices reliably at scale. You will help keep Portainer aligned with evolving tool ecosystems, simplifying the customer experience and ensuring it remains a mission-critical, reliable part of infrastructure. The codebase uses Go for backend and JavaScript / React for frontend. You can view the Community Edition at
