• Strengthen source-control, testing, release-governance and deployment standards

• Work with engineering teams to improve secure-development practices

• Develop practical recommendations and support their implementation

• Influence technical and non-technical stakeholders to adopt improved ways of working

• Provide technical guidance, coaching and leadership across multiple teams

• Support the adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices where appropriate

What you will bring

• Senior-level experience in DevSecOps, cloud platform engineering, SRE or software engineering

• Strong practical knowledge of CI/CD, source control, testing and release management

• Experience with Azure DevOps and Azure Cloud

• Knowledge of secure-SDLC and application-security practices

• Experience embedding security and quality controls into delivery pipelines

• Exposure to SonarQube or similar code-quality tooling

• Experience with SAST, SCA or application-security tools such as Mend, Fortify, Snyk, Checkmarx or equivalent

• The ability to assess an existing environment and turn findings into practical improvements

• Strong stakeholder-management, communication and influencing skills

• Experience coaching engineers and driving adoption across delivery teams

• Exposure to GitHub Copilot or other AI-assisted engineering tools would be advantageous

Contract details

• Initial six-month contract with potential for extension

• Auckland CBD location

• Minimum three days per week in the office

• 37.5 hours per week

This opportunity would suit a senior Cloud Platform Engineer, SRE or DevSecOps specialist who combines strong technical capability with the confidence to influence teams, challenge existing practices and lead meaningful engineering uplift.

Auckland CBD | Hybrid | .NET / Azure / APIs

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join a large enterprise organisation on a contract basis, working across a significant technology modernisation programme.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, modernising applications and APIs, and improving the way software is built and delivered.
You’ll be working in a modern Microsoft environment with a strong focus on .NET, Azure, APIs, CI/CD and DevSecOps, while also helping uplift engineering standards across the wider team.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing and delivering scalable C# / .NET APIs
• Driving API modernisation and greater adoption of Microsoft Azure
• Improving existing applications, integrations and engineering practices
• Identifying and reducing technical debt and unnecessary system coupling
• Helping introduce and embed modern engineering standards and best practices
• Working across the full SDLC, from design and development through to deployment and support
• Contributing to CI/CD and DevSecOps practices
• Improving code quality, security and maintainability
• Working closely with Product, Architecture and business stakeholders to deliver practical, high-quality solutions

What we’re looking for

To be successful, you’ll bring strong experience across three key areas:

1. Senior .NET / API engineering
Strong hands-on experience designing and delivering applications and APIs using C# / .NET / .NET Core, ideally within complex enterprise environments.

2. Azure and API modernisation
Practical experience modernising applications or APIs using Microsoft Azure, including cloud-native services, API integration and ideally Azure API Management or similar gateway technologies.

3. Modern engineering and DevSecOps practices
Experience across CI/CD, code quality, application security and modern software-engineering standards. Exposure to tools such as SonarQube, Fortify, Mend, Snyk or Checkmarx would be valuable, although equivalent tooling is absolutely fine.
