We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Product Engineer who is excited to contribute to the evolution of our user research platform.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of projects, experiment with new ideas, and make a meaningful impact on a product used by teams around the world. Your work will directly influence the way our customers solve problems and deliver outstanding experiences to their own users.

What you’ll do :

  • Build impactful features : Use React, Ruby on Rails and AWS to design and develop new features that improve the customer experience research journey
  • Collaborate cross-functionally : Work with our multidisciplinary Product team to develop innovative solutions that meet the real‑world needs of our users
  • Innovate for user needs : Actively contribute ideas to enhance existing tools, focusing on how we can improve user experiences and solve customer challenges more effectively
  • Drive projects forward : Take the lead on technical execution, ensuring products are not only built efficiently but are aligned with our users' goals and feedback
  • Mentor and collaborate : Share your expertise, guiding the team in best practices while learning from others, fostering a culture of continuous improvement

What we're looking for :

  • Entrepreneurial mindset : You’re excited about the chance to take ownership of projects, continuously improve the product, and stay deeply connected to user feedback and business outcomes
  • Experience with our stack : You’re familiar with technology relevant to our stack : React, Ruby on Rails, AWS, infrastructure‑as‑code and CI / CD technologies, and understand how to use it to build performing and scalable user‑focused products
  • Passion for customer impact : You take pride in delivering solutions that truly meet the needs of customers, ensuring each feature enhances the user experience
  • Collaborative and proactive : You work well with others to translate ideas into actionable plans, bringing your technical skills and perspective to make smarter product decisions
  • Pragmatic problem‑solving : You’re able to see the bigger picture and break it down into actionable steps that drive results, making sure that we solve the right problems in the most efficient way
  • What’s in it for you :

  • Competitive salary + Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP)
  • Home office set‑up support
  • An additional day off on your birthday
  • Enhanced parental leave for primary and secondary caregiver
  • The chance to shape our engineering culture and be part of a high performing team
  • Flexible work options (our HQ is based in Wellington, NZ, but this role can be based anywhere in New Zealand)
