Job Description:
ABOUT THE COMPANY
EROAD is a global fleet management technology company, publicly listed on both the NZX and ASX, and continuing to grow across New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines and the USA. We're hiring an intermediate Software Engineer to join the platform team building EROAD's cloud-native, event-driven SaaS system spanning AWS and Azure.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
You'll own delivery end-to-end within your squad, reporting to the Chapter Lead and helping shape how the team works.
- Design and build microservices and RESTful APIs for a cloud-native, event-driven platform
- Take features from design through to production, owning quality and outcomes
- Decompose engineering work between what an AI agent can handle and what needs human judgement
- Review and correct AI-generated code before it merges, catching failure modes like hallucinated imports, misleading test coverage or insecure defaults
- Design and implement automated tests across unit, component and integration levels
- Contribute to squad-level engineering standards and practices
- Take part in an on-call rotation
WHAT YOU NEED
You’ll bring solid backend production experience and genuine hands-on AI-native delivery skills.
- Hands-on production backend experience in Java or C# (strong depth in one is fine, both are not required)
- Cloud-native development on AWS with Java/Spring or Azure with .NET (one ecosystem is fine, both are not required)
- Microservice architecture and RESTful API design experience
- Experience with MongoDB, PostgreSQL or SQL Server
- Experience designing and implementing automated tests across unit, component and integration levels
- Git, trunk-based development and CI/CD experience
- Docker and containerisation experience
- Basic monitoring, alerting and observability experience
- Genuine hands-on experience using AI coding tools or agents in real engineering work, including reviewing and correcting AI-generated output before merge
- Ability to recognise and catch common AI-generated code failure modes
- Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation
WHY JOIN
You’ll work at the centre of EROAD's shift to AI-native engineering, with real scope to shape how the team builds software.
- Genuine, everyday use of AI tooling as a core part of how you work, not a side experiment
- Be part of a high-growth, innovative technology company making a real difference at global scale
- Work alongside a talented and collaborative team
- Continuous learning support, including EAP offerings and AI tooling investment
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- Part of a true Kiwi success story with an international, multicultural team
- Hybrid work arrangement: 4 days onsite (Monday to Thursday) and 1 day work from home (Friday)
- 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM PHT shift with a semi-flexible start and end time, subject to team and business requirements.
