Propellerhead is a leading software services company that designs, delivers, and maintains large-scale, custom-built digital platforms across a range of technologies. We place emphasis on producing technology which is meaningful, has value, and can make a difference in the world. We foster long lasting and trusting relationships with all our clients, and we have worked with a diverse range of commercial, non-profit, and government organisations over our 20 years in the market.
How We Build Software:
We build software by structuring solutions in a product-centric manner and focusing on continuously delivering improvements from a backlog of features. These features are taken from real stakeholder needs linked to clear objectives. As a result, our digital platforms are a mixture of custom components and external services which produce a powerful and engaging experience when combined.
Propellerhead operates a hybrid working model (work from our office and/or from your own home). We welcome applications from Developers located throughout New Zealand, and from Developers located internationally who are interested in moving to New Zealand. (Please note: if working remotely, you will be required to work across NZ work-day hours.)
