Job description

Senior AI-Augmented Product Engineer (NZ / Remote)

Join to apply for the Senior AI-Augmented Product Engineer (NZ / Remote) role at Optimal.

At Optimal, we’re redefining how product teams and UX researchers understand human behaviour. Our platform transforms complex user data into clear, actionable insights – helping customers like Lego, Nike, Netflix, and Apple build digital experiences that truly connect.

Now, we’re evolving how we build too – by embracing AI-powered development to move faster and focus on what matters most : creating great user experiences.

The role

We’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer to help shape the future of how we build at Optimal. You’ll work across our stack – using React, Ruby on Rails, and AWS – while integrating AI coding tools to speed up delivery and improve our developer experience. This is a role for someone who loves impact, experimentation and innovation – blending your engineering skills with an early‑adopter mindset around AI productivity. You’ll do well if you thrive in a fast‑moving environment and think like an entrepreneur – you see the big picture and drive outcomes.

What you’ll do

  • Build impactful features across our platform
  • Work closely with Product and Design to solve real problems for our customers
  • Take ownership of projects from conception to completion
  • Collaborate and contribute to our product strategy and goals
  • Define and mentor the team on AI‑assisted workflows and best practices

What you’ll bring

  • Proven experience delivering software end‑to‑end with our stack (React, Ruby on Rails, AWS)
  • Passion for solving customer problems through impactful solutions
  • Strong collaboration skills and sense of ownership
  • Experience with AI‑driven product development and coding
  • A leadership and entrepreneurial mindset, with curiosity for shaping AI‑assisted workflows
  • 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)
  • If you like to move fast and build great products, apply now.
