Software Developer
Sandfield, New Zealand
Job Description
Want to be part of the success story for a leading, Kiwi-owned, software business that prides itself on NOT being a conventional tech company?
Ever dreamt of having the freedom to create tailored software solutions for clients rather than grappling with the same feature set?
Keen to be part of a fun dev team who works directly with clients?
If you answered yes to any of the above...then we should talk!
We’re Sandfield and we build smart software solutions for some of Australasia’s top brands.
We’re working on some pretty cool projects right now and there’s plenty more in our (very long) pipeline...so we need more talented Software Developers to join our awesome team.
We've been backing ourselves, and our ability to create great solutions for clients, since we first opened our doors in 1989. Since then, we’ve developed some pretty innovative systems for clients, this includes systems for supply chain, finance, issues management, content management, EDI, RFID, customer portals, dashboards, BI reporting, 3rd party integration, mapping and many more.
Our work facilitates high performance supply chains for the likes of Mainfreight, Qube and Allied Concrete and keeps millions of orders and data points flowing for Foodstuffs. It also manages business finances for Toll and Green Acres, helps fill seats on the Interislander for KiwiRail and keeps Les Mills members engaged...plus so much more.
Our pitch to you
We know it’s a competitive market out there and loads of other companies are also probably trying to ‘woo’ you right now with big numbers and equally big promises.
What we can offer is something a little more special.
Our programmers get to deal directly with our clients and we spend just as much time nurturing soft skills, such as communication and business acumen, as we do helping our developers be even more ‘ninja’ at their programming.
We guarantee your ‘everyday’ will be interesting, varied, challenging and fun! You’ll get to work with a range of other smart developers, who also happen to be really great people too.
Our collaborative culture is at the centre of everything we do at Sandfield and it makes it a pretty special place to work. We know this because people also don’t tend to leave - i.e. the average length of service here is at least five years.
We also have a beer fridge, funky offices and ‘fun food Friday
But don’t just take our word for it - here’s what our people say about working at Sandfield.

As an organisation, we’re also very conscious of our environmental footprint and are currently on a journey to become carbon neutral in the very near future.
Requirements
We primarily use Microsoft tools, but we always choose the right technology for the job, whether it’s a web-based interface, a rugged mobile device, an iPhone or a back-office suite. Although everyone is exposed to the full SDLC, each developer typically ends up becoming an expert in one, or a number, of areas with lots of support along the way.
You’ll need:
- ASP.NET/C#
- HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- SQL Server database ESSENTIAL
- Excellent written and verbal skills
- Analytical problem solving ability
- A keen interest in creating systems to build business value
Benefits
When you work for us, you’ll enjoy:
- Rapid career advancement based on initiative and performance
- A huge variety of work
- A relaxed, supportive and social environment
- An opportunity to work alongside some highly experienced developers
- The freedom to employ creative thinking and really make a difference to our clients’ businesses
- Being involved in everything from conceptual design to the full SDLC
- A flat team structure that emanates lots of positive energy!
Make your next move with us!
If you’re happy with just being a number at a big brand tech company so your Mum can brag at Bridge Club...we’re probably not for you.
But if you want to join a great team and be part of the driving force behind some innovative tech solutions for a range of top companies in this part of the world, then let’s talk!
Even if you’re comfortable in your current role, but want to explore future opportunities, it could still be worthwhile having a chat with us.
