● Relentless Curiosity - we are driven to innovate and explore new ways to solve difficult problems.

genuinely good humans make the difference.

We are a New Zealand company supporting tanneries to automate their processes (leather grading, inventory management) using a mix of cutting-edge hardware, machine learning, and cloud services. Our biggest customers are in Brazil, and we’re looking for a hands-on, technically minded specialist to join us on the ground.
About the Role
We’re looking for a fast learning full stack developer who can help us build, extend, and support our automation platform. Your primary focus will be on software development - working across the stack to design, implement, and deliver new features and improvements. You’ll collaborate closely with our New Zealand engineering team, contributing to backend services, frontend apps, integrations, and automation tooling.
In addition to development, you’ll act as a local technical contact for our Brazilian customers, providing support remotely. This includes troubleshooting issues, analysing problems, and ensuring smooth operation of our on-premise and cloud-based systems. This is a hybrid role:
development first, support second.
We don’t expect you to know every part of our stack from day one, but you should be resourceful, eager to learn, and comfortable moving between problem analysis, coding, and hands-on technical support. Because you’ll be working closely with teams in both Brazil and New Zealand, we ask for some flexibility in your schedule to enable effective collaboration across time zones.

● Full stack development:
webapps, APIs, data pipelines, automation, and integrations.
● Coordinate with NZ team:
for design discussions, code reviews, etc…
● Customer collaboration:
communicate with clients about new features, help test and demo them, and support rollouts.
● System integration & support:
configure and test ERP integrations (via serial comms), collaborate with customer IT teams, and provide second-line troubleshooting (hardware, network, software) during Brazilian business hours.
● Monitoring & operations:
analyse logs, perform remote diagnostics, and maintain infrastructure/configuration in coordination with our NZ team.
● Data & dashboards:
support updates to customer dashboards (Kibana) and configuration-as-code.
● On-site presence:
occasional travel to customer sites as needed.
