Product Engineer (relocation to Auckland, New Zealand)

Overview

Build internal software for ZURU's own business teams, owning one problem end to end from first conversation with the business owner through to production.

What you'll do

• Work inside the business unit to find the context nobody wrote down, such as the spreadsheet, the manual join, or the workaround everyone stopped noticing.
• Drive to a Go/No-Go decision with the business inside 5 days of assignment.
• Build every application on the internal tooling that resolves current standards and their automated checks into the repository.
• Validate, build, and hold each application until it graduates; the artifact does not change hands.
• Direct coding agents against established patterns and judge the output rather than starting from a blank page.
• Take governed data and the paved path as products other teams own, and raise a gap in either rather than routing around it.
• Make each application reproducible from a clean clone, with the capability version pinned, a runbook in the repository, telemetry wired, an SLO defined, and alerts routed to a rota.
• Hold 3 or fewer ungraduated applications at any time.

What you'll need

• Can sit with a finance, sales, or operations team and work out what they actually do.
• Directs coding agents well and can tell when the output is wrong.
• Reads and reasons about code, and ships working software rather than prototypes.
• Has built something that another person went on to use.
• Business-unit background welcome; engineering years are not the bar, and candidates from finance, sales, or operations who can direct an agent against a standard are in scope.

Details

• Location: Auckland, New Zealand, with an opportunity to relocate.
