Job description

Head of Engineering - Platform & Product Leadership

Lead engineering across a large-scale platform. Architect scalable systems, mentor developers, and shape the future of digital experiences.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Senior engineering leadership role across a national digital platform
  • Mix of strategic architecture, AI innovation, and hands‑on delivery
  • Influence across cloud infrastructure and enterprise integrations
  • Collaborate directly with C‑suite and strategic tech partners
  • Backed by a major media and tech organisation
  • Competitive salary + flexible working arrangements
  • Work from Home options available

About the Company

Our client is behind one of New Zealand’s most ambitious digital platforms, combining the agility of a startup with the scale of an enterprise. Backed by a major national brand, they are shaping how users interact with high‑impact digital ecosystems.

About the Role

This is a high‑impact leadership role where you’ll oversee the entire engineering function. From solution architecture to delivery, team mentorship to platform scalability, you’ll be pivotal in driving innovation, security, and high performance across all systems.

Skills & Experience

  • 10+ years’ experience in software engineering, including team leadership
  • Technology agnostic as this is a green‑fields build
  • Strong understanding of cybersecurity, cloud systems, and integrations
  • Proven experience mentoring engineers and scaling engineering culture
  • Effective communicator across technical and non‑technical audiences
  • Agile delivery mindset with strong prioritisation skills
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field
  • Why Work Here?

  • Drive technology strategy for a platform with national reach
  • Blend startup culture with enterprise‑grade backing
  • Collaborate with high‑performing cross‑functional teams
  • Flexible, remote‑friendly working culture
  • Strong focus on innovation, AI, and continuous improvement
  • Access to top‑tier tools, resources, and leadership support
  • Clear path for career growth and ongoing development
  • Please apply now as listed below.
