Software Engineer - Nelson or Remote

FuseIT connects people to people, building global communities. We imagine a world in which people are made to feel increasingly connected and supported through technological innovations. We achieve this by building enterprise software products and delivering professional services across the world. Bringing systems together is in our DNA, fusing technologies to create huge business productivity gains.

As an Intermediate Software Engineer at FuseIT your mission is to contribute to the success of our software products and delivery to our customers. You will be working to deliver business outcomes by connecting a range of applications including industry-leading CRMs like Salesforce, website applications and experience platforms, and document and record management systems. We build natively on these platforms to deliver great customer experiences.

This role suits someone who treats a backlog as a starting point, not a ceiling. Someone who identifies problems, proposes solutions, and sees them delivered.

This is an intermediate level role. You'll own significant pieces of work independently, with senior support available when you need it.

A typical day might include:

• Writing a JavaScript library that will be deployed to websites around the world

• Creating a .NET application to provide a high-volume interface between systems

• Writing managed packages to extend Salesforce capabilities and integrations

• Improving our documentation and training guides to help ourselves and our customers

• Researching and building prototypes for new approaches or new technologies

• Working as part of a team to groom user stories and ensure work items are well defined

• Using AI tooling to move quickly, and carefully judging what it produces

Learning Salesforce:

Salesforce is central to what we build, so you'll be expected to learn Apex, Lightning Web Components, and Flow. We'll support you through Salesforce developer certification as part of your learning pathway. You don't need Salesforce experience to apply, but you do need to be willing to learn it.

Team dynamics:

Our development team is geographically spread across New Zealand, with both remote and hybrid workers. Although we aren’t together in the same office each day, we do have in-person catchups to bring people together throughout the year to form connections.

As a small team, your ideas on technology and product get heard, and there's a clear path toward technical leadership as you grow.

We use Confluence to share knowledge, Zendesk to triage support requests, Jira to manage our software development, Bitbucket for source code development and continuous integration, and Claude Code.

A great match would have:

• Typically 3-6 years of professional experience

• Strong ability to develop, test, and deploy software written in C#, .NET, and JavaScript or TypeScript

• Experience connecting software systems together using APIs, web services, or middlewares

• Ability to design and implement data models and queries in relational databases such as Microsoft SQL Server or PostgreSQL

• A track record of owning work end-to-end. Not just completing tasks, but identifying and solving the right problems

• The ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

• A strong instinct for engineering best practices, continuous integration, automation, and software security

And as a bonus, any of the following:

• Existing Salesforce development experience or certification

• Website development using a content management system or digital experience platform

• Microsoft developer certifications or equivalent

Why consider working with us:

You will be a core member of our respected development team and will gain experience delivering software to some of the biggest enterprise companies and government departments. We believe in learning and will support you to develop a learning pathway, including industry-recognised certifications.

Our people are important to us, so we look after them:

• Fully paid medical insurance

• 50% of your home broadband costs

• KiwiSaver contributions matched up to 8%

• Flexible working, remote or hybrid

Our remuneration package is made up of salary, benefits, and a phantom employee share scheme, so you share in the company's success as it grows.

If you are a forward-thinking individual who loves learning, building great software solutions, and being part of a great team, we invite you to submit your resume.

Are you interested in this role but don’t meet every requirement? We still want to hear from you! Our team values diverse experiences and perspectives. We review all applications to see how you can contribute to our success.
