Job Description

Fuel50 is seeking an ambitious Senior Software Engineer to join our NZ engineering team! 

About Fuel50 

Fuel50 is a company founded on a deep passion for engagement and the desire to create better workplaces. We believe wholeheartedly in our vision and are continually looking to better the outcomes we help our clients achieve.  

Our product is an AI-powered talent marketplace platform that helps companies to manage their internal talent mobility, re-skilling and career development. We're proud of the customer base that use and love us - including significant household names.  

About the Role 

This is a senior individual contributor role with strong technical influence. You will implement new features, track down difficult-to-find bugs, tackle challenging scaling issues and implement high-quality engineering practices and tooling.  

You will collaborate across teams, work closely with customer support to track down bug reports, and also work independently to rapidly make huge improvements to the software platform.  You will write quality code, review others’ code, contribute to architectural decisions, and work on challenging problems across our technology stack as they arise.    

This position reports to the Engineering Manager and offers flexible working hours, collaboration with our New Zealand based engineering team and the ability to work remotely from anywhere in New Zealand! 

This role will require a background check under the Singapore Government’s Official Secrets Act due to the nature of some customer environments we support. We’re happy to discuss what this means during the interview process.
