Big enough to work with the country's largest customers, yet agile enough to make things happen without bureaucracy.

Your effort doesn't enrich distant investors — it rewards you.

The whole company exists to help you, help our customers succeed.

We have a standout opportunity at Inde for a

Network Architect (or Principal Architect for the right candidate)

to join our highly skilled team of specialists and develop their skills at a cloud-first provider of enterprise technology business solutions.

At Inde, we keep our systems simple and agile so that we're not constrained by processes and procedures.

Auckland, Wellington, or Dunedin

The role may also involve working at customer sites.

Inde has an 'office first' approach to hybrid working where people work from an office the majority of the time, with the ability to work remotely in periods when needed, for example to gain some focused work time, or when life happens.

A strategic, solutions-focused mindset with the confidence to innovate.

Excellent relationship skills – able to connect easily with colleagues and customers.

A passion for technology and curiosity for what's next.
