Senior Developer | Contract (until end of Dec) | Auckland
Join a well-regarded NZ technology services business working with New Zealand's largest organisations. 

About the role
This is a contract Senior Developer opportunity based in Auckland, running through to the end of December 2026. You will be embedded within an established technology team, contributing to enterprise integration and back-end development across complex, high-availability environments. This is a hands-on role where your technical depth will be put to work from day one.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Developing and maintaining Java-based back-end services and APIs
  • Designing, configuring, and supporting IBM DataPower gateway solutions
  • Troubleshooting and resolving integration issues across enterprise systems
  • Collaborating with architects and project teams to deliver technical solutions
  • Contributing to code reviews, documentation, and technical best practices
About you
You are a senior-level developer who is equally comfortable deep in Java code as you are working with DataPower gateway configuration. You bring a pragmatic approach, communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and can hit the ground running in a contract environment.

Key skills and experience:
  • Strong, proven Java back-end development experience (Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices)
  • Hands-on IBM DataPower experience (configuration, policy development, troubleshooting) 
  • Solid understanding of enterprise integration patterns and web services (REST, SOAP, XML, JSON)
  • Experience working in Agile or hybrid delivery environments
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work independently within a team
  • Any experience with API management platforms (IBM API Connect, MuleSoft, or similar) is a plus
If you are a Senior Developer ready to step into a contract where your skills are put to good use from the outset. Apply today, and Luisa Larios (Luisa@momentum.co.nz) will be in touch. 

**Please note: only applicants currently based in New Zealand with valid work rights will be considered**
