Trade Me

At Trade Me, we're about connecting Kiwi to create the life they want. Whether it's the big things like finding a home, a job, a car or growing their business, or the smaller things, like finding that right bedside table or parting ways with some old stuff. At Trade Me our vision is to be the place where Kiwi look first.

At Trade Me, we build experiences that truly matter to New Zealanders. As a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer, you'll be at the heart of bringing exciting new products and enhancements to life for our millions of customers. This is your chance to work across the entire stack, own technical outcomes, and drive innovation in a platform that's a part of everyday Kiwi life.

Here is what you can expect from this role:

• Design and deliver end-to-end technical solutions that elevate our customer experience and meet squad objectives.
• Mentor and coach less experienced engineers, sharing your expertise to help uplift our team's capabilities and best practices.
• Drive innovation by proactively researching new technologies and leading initiatives to improve our codebase and technical design.
• Own projects within your squad, from initial design and planning to building, testing, releasing, and monitoring your code in production.
• Collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to find and address challenges in our processes, ensuring quality and speed.
• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, actively seeking opportunities to make our web experience faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain.
• Document your work clearly, enabling others to easily maintain and build upon the solutions you create.

What you will bring to our team:

• Senior level experience in fullstack development, with strong proficiency in C# (.NET) and front-end technologies like CSS, JavaScript, and/or Angular.
• A deep understanding of relational databases and SQL (ideally Microsoft SQL Server), along with excellent knowledge of OO design patterns and SOLID principles.
• A proven track record of technical ownership and accountability for significant projects.
• A natural talent for mentorship and a genuine desire to help your teammates grow and excel.
• A highly organised and self-directed approach, combined with a proactive mindset to tackle challenges head-on in a fast-paced environment.
• A keen eye for detail and a commitment to crafting elegant, testable code that stands the test of time.
• Exceptional collaboration and communication skills, enabling you to be a trusted advisor to your squad and stakeholders.
