Junior Engineer @ Hnry

🇳🇿

Wellington, NZ

We are hiring a number of new Junior Engineering positions within the team at Hnry to build out the future of our Engineering function.

You will play a key role as part of our growing Engineering team and have the opportunity to learn from and work with the Engineer across the organisation. Our Junior Engineers are the future of Hnry’s Engineering team so what better way to learn and develop, than understanding what each squad does to contribute to the success of the business.

You will work to build a polished experience for our customers while also scaling the systems required to operate the business. You’ll be expected to learn the development of new features, from concept through to release and work collaboratively with Product Owners and Designers, Customer Representatives and other members of the Hnry team.

🚀 Responsibilities

Engaging with customers and all members of the business to actively identify problems and propose solutions

Following best practices in building robust and reliable software and work collaboratively with the team

Assist with the delivering functionality from concept through to production release and post-release maintenance

Produce work that meets the expected level of test coverage and improve test coverage across the existing codebase

Provide detailed code reviews to colleagues, sharing your knowledge and ensuring that standards are maintained

Design the architecture of new features and present this back to the team for feedback

Collaborate with and support other members of the wider Hnry team

🫵 About you

You will:

Have a genuine passion for engineering and have a relevant degree and/or completed dev academy

Have excellent communication and collaboration skills — we work together and succeed as a team

Actively monitor systems, identify problems and propose solutions

Approach problems with a curious mindset and empathy for the end user, always considering the impact of changes

Enjoy discussions about software/product design and crafting solutions

Have residency or a valid work visa in New Zealand

Bonus points for the following:

Experience being self-employed (freelancing, contracting etc) in any industry/profession

💪 How we work

We follow agile practices, delivering improvements iteratively in small chunks. We track the impact of our work and measure ourselves on results, not the amount of code written.

We’re growing fast, and are focused on building a well designed, scalable & robust platform. In some areas of the work (e.g. payment processing) there is very little margin for error.

Our technology platform is built in Ruby on Rails, and we also use a bunch of AWS services (via Terraform), Postgres, Docker, and a little bit of React.

We have automated tests, continuous deployment, and release to production multiple times per day.

We review each others code, and set aside time for hacking on experimental features, refactoring and/or learning new things.

We work hard and finish on time, no crazy hours.

💰

Salary banding: $60,000 - $70,000 per annum (depending on experience)
