About the job
In this role, you’ll join our expanding engineering team, focused on enhancing and supporting software that simplifies legal compliance and makes it accessible to everyone. You will play a key role in delivering a high-quality, scalable web application with an intuitive, user-friendly interface that helps users navigate legal requirements with ease.
As part of our development team, you’ll maintain and improve our .NET-based solutions while delivering new features that delight our customers. This role involves working on both the frontend, creating dynamic and responsive user interfaces, and the backend, supporting and evolving our .NET Framework codebase with an eye toward modernisation.
We understand that most developers have preferences and specialised strengths—whether that’s frontend, backend, or other slices of the technology pie. While this position covers full stack responsibilities, we recognise the “full stack developer” who is a master of everything equally is somewhat of a myth. We value your unique expertise and are interested in where your passion lies, while still needing someone comfortably contributing across the stack as needed.
This is a full-time, in-person role in our Wellington waterfront office (with the option of agreeing WFH days with your manager), working in our software development team. Reporting to a Senior Engineer, there will be opportunities to grow your career with ComplyWith as our business grows in New Zealand.
