Software Developer
Sandfield, New Zealand
Job Description
Do you want to work on projects where you’re actually trusted and empowered to make meaningful change for some of Australasia’s leading companies?
Dream of working in a place you can call home rather than have to change your career every two years to get ahead?
Want to be part of a team that focuses on getting the job done and having a good time while doing it?
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. Our head office is based in Auckland but for the right person we are willing to consider remote working arrangements with some travel to Auckland required.
About Sandfield
We’re a leading, Kiwi-owned, software business that prides itself on NOT just being a conventional tech company.
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 which leave other, more high-profile, software packages in the dust.
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.
One thing we think speaks for itself is that we’ve never had a sales team - our work and success story has been predominantly built on our reputation and referrals alone.
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 developers 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 coding.
We guarantee your ‘everyday’ will be interesting, varied, challenging and fun! You’ll get to work with a range of other smart developers of all levels, who also happen to be really great people too.
They’re mountain bikers, road bikers, skiers, runners, active relaxers, video gamers, animal lovers, movie buffs, gym buffs, foodies, wine critics, bakers and musicians. They’re also family people, single people, party people, quiet people, loud people and happy people.
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 Fridays’!
But don’t just take our word for it - here’s what our people say about working at Sandfield (video link).
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.
Our tech stack
We work across a variety of technologies, although specialise in a Microsoft stack, and always select the right technology based on our client’s needs. We’re primarily building web-based applications but have opportunities for mobile development as well.
We love to work across the full stack - but we know that is a lot to learn so don’t worry if you don’t have full stack experience, we have plenty of experienced devs to learn from and support you as you go.
You’ll need:
- Experience building web application using
- .NET - WebAPI, MVC or WebForms
- HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Remember - even if you don’t have experience across the full stack we’d still love to have a chat to you
- Bonus points for experience with React or React Native
- An interest in all aspects of the SDLC including talking to clients
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 em
