Does building a brand-new product from the ground up, with AI tooling as a force multiplier, make you tick?

At Re-Leased our vision is to shape the future of Commercial Real Estate and drive better outcomes for people, property and planet. We're now building am:pm — an agentic AI product that becomes the company brain for real estate operators. It reads the communications, surfaces the relevant context from documents and prior decisions, and drafts responses grounded in the full history of the portfolio. You can read more at ampm.ai.

am:pm is in early access with customers right now. The squad is small, the stack is new, and we're moving fast.

Your Role

We're looking for intermediate to senior engineers to join the squad building am:pm — based in Napier or remote from another city in New Zealand. You'll ship customer-facing features end-to-end, from Vue 3 through to .NET 8 services on Azure, and you'll use AI coding tools (Claude Code) as a core part of how you work.

This is a small-team, start-up environment inside an established SaaS business — less process, more agency, and a tight feedback loop with real customers.

What you'll be owning

• Ship full-stack features that deliver real customer value — Vue 3 front-end through to .NET 8 back-end services on Azure

• Use AI tooling (Claude Code) as a first-class part of your workflow to move fast without cutting corners

• Work directly with product, design and customers to figure out what to build next — not just how to build it

• Diagnose and fix production issues quickly, then harden so they don't come back

• Contribute to the technical direction of a new product, including how we design and evaluate AI-powered features

• Support and lift the level of the engineers around you

What you'll bring

• 3+ years of full-stack software engineering experience in a SaaS product environment

• Vue.js 3 with Shadcn UI components. Comfortable with the Composition API, TypeScript, and modern front-end tooling.

• Solid .NET 8 / C# and SQL Server back-end skills

• Track record of shipping on Microsoft Azure, ideally with exposure to IaC (Terraform) and Azure DevOps pipelines

• Actively using AI coding tools day-to-day and have opinions on how to get the most out of them

• Comfortable with ambiguity, change, and making calls with incomplete information — you're drawn to small teams and early-stage product work

• A genuine focus on the customer outcome, not just the code

• Preferred experience building LLM-powered features — prompt design, evals, retrieval, agent workflows

• Preferred prior start-up or zero-to-one product experience

Our stack & how we work

am:pm is built on .NET 8, Vue 3, SQL Server and a growing set of AI services on Microsoft Azure. The squad manages its own DevOps — Terraform for IaC, Azure DevOps for pipelines. We've woven AI tooling deeply into how we work; if you're excited by the idea of building AI-native software and using AI to build it, you'll fit right in.

Why you’ll love working here  

• Taking care of you: Including comprehensive health insurance, access to a premium EAP service and an annual wellness allowance to spend on what helps you feel good - whether that’s towards a gym membership, new running shoes, or mindfulness apps. 
• Support for families: Generous paid parental leave and flexible, family-friendly support designed to help growing families balance work and life with confidence. 
• Recognition for tenure and milestones: We celebrate time, commitment, and contribution with milestone rewards and additional leave as you grow your career with us. 
• Flexible working, built for a global team: With customers and teammates across New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, and North America, we work in a hybrid, remote-friendly way with collaborative offices and the flexibility of a balanced approach to WFH/i-office work.   

Our culture is very important to us too, and we strongly believe in living out our core values:   

• People First: One team globally; our people and customers always come first.
• Find a Way: Like a river, we find a way around all obstacles  
• Win or Learn: Our journey for improvement never ends; enjoy the ride!  
• Aim High: We dare to set big goals and love the challenge of achieving them against the odds.
