What this job asks for AI summary
A senior engineering role focused on researching and shaping future technical direction for a software services firm and its clients. Day-to-day work spans full-stack design and construction — covering distributed architecture, cloud deployment, CI/CD, and third-party integrations — with heavy use of LLMs rather than hand-coding. The role also involves driving a migration toward Rust and TypeScript, mentoring colleagues, and engaging directly with client stakeholders. Suits an experienced engineer comfortable operating with significant autonomy.

Why we read it this way (8)
This role is based in Auckland, New Zealand and requires regular in-office attendance (hybrid). It is NOT a US-based role; US salary benchmarks do not apply.
The posting welcomes international applicants willing to relocate to Auckland; the final recruitment stage requires an in-person interview in New Zealand.
C#/.NET and Java/Spring are presented as interchangeable examples of a required 'enterprise-quality programming language' — one is required, not both. C# and .NET are emitted as a paired primary with Java/Spring as alternatives.
Rust is explicitly preferred over C++ as the lower-level language requirement; both are listed as acceptable, so C++ is captured as an alternative.
Azure and AWS are listed together with 'and/or', making them interchangeable for the cloud deployment requirement. Azure is emitted as primary with AWS as alternative. AWS also appears separately as a standalone preferred skill given the 'and/or' framing could imply both are in use.
Terraform is named as an example infrastructure scripting framework ('e.g., Terraform') within the required skills section; per the section-placement rule it is treated as a hard gate.
LLM proficiency is explicitly required — the posting states candidates 'will already have embraced the use of LLMs over hand-coding' and describes LLM-assisted code generation as central to the role.
No compensation figures are stated beyond 'competitive salary'. No employment type (full-time vs. contract) is specified.
