Senior Solutions Consultant

We’re working with a rapidly expanding global FinTech with long-standing relationships across the large NZ organisations. This position represents a rare opportunity to be the first technical hire on the ground, helping drive a major transformation of their local platform.

The organisation is now undertaking a significant uplift and modernisation effort—transitioning a legacy system into a modern cloud-native, AI-driven environment. They’re committed to taking the best components of the existing technology and making them “plug and play” within their contemporary platform.

The Opportunity:
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys real-world problem solving, modernising legacy systems, and balancing deep technical delivery with clear communication to clients and internal stakeholders. You will:

• Own the uplift and integration of a long-standing legacy platform into a modern cloud ecosystem
• Build new integrations and resolve existing issues across the system
• Work with clients, explaining technical concepts in accessible, non-technical language
• Rebuild and enhance parts of the AI engine as the company moves toward an automation- and AI-forward model
• Collaborate closely with a globally distributed engineering team, receiving remote support and upskilling on tools, documentation, and modern engineering standards
• Operate autonomously as the local technical point person while influencing future engineering capability in NZ

This is a pivotal role ideal for someone who enjoys independence, modern engineering challenges, and shaping future architecture.

What You’ll Do:

Platform Ownership & Integration

• Lead the integration of the NZ legacy system into the organisation’s modern cloud platform
• Take responsibility for platform reliability, maintainability, and system evolution
• Improve data flows into cloud-based environments for analytics and reporting
• Contribute to the redesign and rebuild of AI decisioning components

Engineering & Delivery

• Develop and maintain complex system integrations, including government and industry APIs
• Drive automation initiatives, ideally using tools such as n8n
• Resolve technical issues across the platform, ensuring stable and scalable performance
• Adhere to global engineering, security, and deployment standards

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

• Liaise with clients, translating technical concepts into practical, business-aligned outcomes
• Gather requirements, understand operational needs, and design scalable solutions
• Participate in discussions around onboarding, performance uplift, and system improvements

Ways of Working

• Onsite in West Auckland 5 days per week
• Supported remotely by a large global engineering team
• Onsite car parking provided
• A culture that genuinely respects work–life balance

Skills & Experience We’re Looking For Must-haves:

• 6+ years’ software engineering experience, ideally with backend or integration-heavy systems
• Strong programming experience with Go, Python, .NET, or Node.js
• Solid understanding of AWS, serverless technologies, DevOps, and Terraform
• Experience with system integrations, APIs, and event-driven design
• Ability to speak confidently with both technical and non-technical audiences
• Comfortable being the primary engineer locally while working with a global team

Nice to haves:

• Experience in regulated sectors or financial services
• Exposure to legacy-to-cloud migration projects
• Familiarity with n8n or other automation/orchestration platforms
• Experience with data engineering or ETL pipelines
• Interest in AI-driven system design and platform evolution

Why This Role Stands Out

• First engineering hire in NZ — real ownership and autonomy
• Blend of engineering, integration, client engagement, and technical problem solving
• Major transformation: cloud uplift, AI engine rebuild, automation, and modernisation
• Opportunity to influence architecture and technical direction locally
• Flexible culture 
• Onsite parking provided
