Description

We are Theta, a New Zealand-owned technology consultancy helping organisations transform through technology. With offices in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Tauranga, we work with leading organisations across Aotearoa to deliver smart, pragmatic, and impactful digital solutions.  

About this role | Mō tēnei tūranga mahi

This Wellington based role is for someone exceptional – an “all-rounder”. You work well with clients and stakeholders, gel with the team and when the chips come down... you get things done, even if that means flying solo. Best practices, architecture and automation are your bread and butter, and you overflow with ideas on how to make things better, yet you are pragmatic and able to prioritise to fit delivery within time and budget.

This isn’t your standard technical lead role. You’ll be a high-impact technical lead who moves across engagements to add momentum and help unblock critical issues.

Skills and experience | Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako

Essential experience:

• 10+ years delivering software solutions in a commercial environment
• Deep, hands-on experience with the Microsoft C# development stack on .NET
• Significant development experience utilising Angular 10+, JavaScript/TypeScript
• Significant development experience with either Flutter or React Native
• Superb communication skills, oral and written, and ability to articulate technical information to non-technical stakeholders
• Customer-facing experience, ideally in a consultancy environment, both in presales and project-led interactions
• Familiar with software development best practices and modern architecture patterns
• Leadership experience, running software development squads
• Experience with setting up CI/CD pipelines with build and test automation (e.g. Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions)
• A track record of championing/supporting the adoption of AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, etc.) in a commercial environment.

NOTE: Please ensure that any leadership, consulting or customer-facing experience, if any, is clearly highlighted in your resume
