Join Tradify as a Senior Software Engineer (Web) and lead the technical evolution of our platform that's transforming how tradespeople run their businesses. We're looking for an experienced engineer who's passionate about building scalable web applications and excited about leading our transition to React.

As a senior member of our engineering team, you'll be instrumental in shaping the future of our web platform. You'll architect solutions that serve thousands of users globally, mentor junior developers, and drive technical decisions that impact our entire product. This isn't just about writing great code – it's about building systems that scale, leading by example, and helping create a platform that genuinely makes a difference in people's working lives.

You'll work with modern technologies including React, C#, .NET, and SQL Server. Your expertise will guide critical architectural decisions, influence our technical roadmap, and help establish best practices that elevate the entire team. From designing new features to optimising performance, from code reviews to technical mentoring – you'll be at the heart of our engineering excellence.

This is a role for someone who thrives on technical challenges, enjoys collaborative problem-solving, and wants to work somewhere their expertise truly matters. If you're the kind of engineer who gets excited about clean architecture, loves sharing knowledge, and believes the best code is code that others can understand and build upon, we want to talk to you.

Essential:

• 5+ years of commercial web development experience
• Expert-level proficiency in React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript
• Strong experience with C# and .NET framework
• Solid understanding of SQL Server and database design principles
• Proven track record of building and maintaining large-scale web applications
• Experience with RESTful API design and implementation
• Deep understanding of web performance optimization and security best practices
• Strong grasp of software design patterns and architectural principles
• Experience mentoring junior developers and conducting code reviews
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
• Outstanding communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts
• Experience with Git and modern development workflows
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent industry experience

Highly Valuable:

• Experience with AngularJS
• Knowledge of Azure cloud services and deployment strategies
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
• Experience leveraging AI to enhance development productivity and code quality
• Knowledge of event-driven architectures and message queuing
• Experience with test-driven development and automated testing frameworks
• Contributions to open-source projects
• Experience with different agile methodologies

What Will Make You Stand Out:

• Led successful large-scale migration projects (especially framework migrations)
• Experience with progressive web applications
• Performance optimization wins you're particularly proud of
• Experience in SaaS, B2B or B2C platforms
• Understanding of the trades/construction industry

About the Role

Technical Excellence:

• Work with modern tech stack with freedom to influence technical decisions
• Time allocated for technical debt reduction and refactoring
• Access to latest tools and technologies
• Regular tech talks and knowledge sharing sessions

Career Growth:

• Opportunity to mentor and shape the next generation of engineers
• Influence over technical strategy and architecture decisions
• Direct impact on product direction through close collaboration with Product team

Work Environment:

• 6-week development cycles with "Cool Down" periods for innovation and learning
• Flexible working arrangements with a healthy remote/office balance
• Collaborative team that values both autonomy and teamwork
• Regular tech talks and learning sessions

The Package:

• Competitive senior engineer salary
• Professional development budget
• Top-tier hardware and tools
• Health insurance options
• 5 Wellbeing days per year
• The satisfaction of building tools that transform small businesses

This is a full-time position based in our Auckland office with flexible working options. You'll be joining a team that takes pride in their craft while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We believe in sustainable development practices, thorough code reviews without ego, and celebrating both the technical wins and the lessons learned.

You'll work closely with Product Managers and UX Designers to shape features from conception to deployment. A typical cycle might include architecting a new feature, reviewing PRs, pairing with junior developers on complex problems, and contributing to technical documentation. You'll have real ownership over significant parts of our platform and the autonomy to implement solutions the right way.

As a senior engineer, you'll also participate in our on-call rotation (approximately 1 week every 10-12 weeks), helping ensure our platform's reliability while mentoring others in incident response best practices.
