About the role

Technical Lead | Greenfield AI SaaS Platform

We're looking for a hands on Technical Lead to join a well-funded organisation embarking on an exciting greenfield product journey.
You'll play a key role in designing and building an AI-enabled platform from scratch, working alongside a collaborative team with the opportunity to make a genuine impact from day one.

This is a rare opportunity to influence architecture, establish engineering standards, mentor developers and remain close to the code.
If you enjoy solving complex problems, modern engineering practices and building products that users genuinely value, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

  • Lead the technical direction and architecture of a new SaaS platform.
  • Design and build scalable applications using React, TypeScript and Node.js.
  • Mentor developers while remaining hands on with development.
  • Champion engineering best practice, CI/CD and modern software delivery.
  • Work closely with Product and the wider business to shape the product roadmap.
  • Explore and implement AI technologies to improve both the product and engineering practices.
What we're looking for
  • Previous experience as a Technical Lead, Lead Developer or Senior Full Stack Engineer.
  • Strong commercial experience with React, TypeScript and Node.js.
  • Experience designing scalable cloud-based applications and APIs.
  • Knowledge of PostgreSQL and modern software architecture.
  • Experience with CI/CD, GitHub and Agile delivery.
  • An interest in AI tools and modern engineering practices.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative leadership style.
What's on offer
  • Greenfield product with the opportunity to influence technical direction.
  • Hands on leadership role with real ownership.
  • Modern technology stack and AI-focused environment.
  • Collaborative, supportive and highly capable team.
  • Competitive salary and long-term career opportunity.
If you're looking for the chance to build something meaningful rather than maintain legacy systems, we'd love to hear from you.

Please note that applicants must have the legal right to work in New Zealand.
