Full Stack Developer

I’m working with an exciting client in Auckland who is looking for a talented Full Stack Developer to join their team. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on innovative projects, collaborate with skilled professionals, and grow your career in a supportive and forward-thinking environment. If you’re someone who thrives on solving complex problems and enjoys working across both backend and frontend technologies, this could be the perfect role for you.

About the Role

My client is seeking a hands-on developer to design, develop, deploy, and maintain scalable applications that drive business success. While the focus will be primarily on backend development (around 80%), there’s also scope to contribute to frontend development (20%) using modern frameworks.

You’ll be joining a small but highly capable team where collaboration and innovation are at the heart of everything they do. The role also emphasises secure coding practices and high-performance solutions.

What My Client Is Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

• 2–3 years of experience as a full-stack developer.
• Strong backend skills with Java and frameworks like Spring Boot.
• Frontend experience with modern frameworks such as Angular.
• Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs.
• Familiarity with databases like MariaDB (or other RDBMS).
• A solid understanding of secure coding principles and application security best practices (e.g., OWASP Top 10).

Bonus points if you’ve worked with:

• Container tools like Docker.
• Automated testing frameworks such as Selenium or BDD Cucumber.
• CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins or GitLab.

Above all, my client values curiosity, problem-solving skills, and a proactive approach to development.

The Tech Environment

Here’s what you’ll be working with:

• Frontend: JavaScript/TypeScript, Angular.
• Backend: Java, Spring Boot, microservices architecture.
• Databases: MariaDB (primary), OrientDB (secondary).
• Tools & Platforms: IntelliJ IDE, Gradle, Git, Docker.
• CI/CD Tools: Jenkins and GitLab.

The company currently prefers on-premises infrastructure over cloud platforms.

Working Model

This role is based in CBD fringe, Auckland, New Zealand. While it’s primarily office-based, my client offers flexible working arrangements. You can work from home on Mondays and Fridays

Please note, my client is prioritising only those with full NZ working rights, so those without full, permanent working rights will not be suitable for this position.

Why Join This Team?

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to:

• Work on impactful projects that truly make a difference.
• Be part of a collaborative team where your contributions are valued.
• Enjoy flexibility while being part of an innovative organisation that’s growing fast, on an international scale.

As mentioned, my client is only able to consider those with full, permanent NZ working rights so please only submit an application if this applies to you.
