Job description

Contract Details:

Location: Remote (Based in New Zealand)

Engagement Type: Self-employed / Contractor (Full-time)

Compensation: NZ$8,000-10,000/month

Client Context: Supporting a high-growth APAC-based technology client.

The Opportunity

HI Technology & Innovation, a London-based technology consultancy, is seeking a high-caliber Senior Node.js Engineer based in New Zealand. You will be a critical part of a high-growth engineering ecosystem, supporting a platform designed for high throughput and complex integrations.

While you will be contracted by HI Technology & Innovation, you will be working with our client's engineering team in Asia-Pacific (APAC). We are looking for an experienced problem solver, someone who can take ownership of IP generation and architectural solutions rather than just executing tickets.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Engineering: Take ownership of complex backend features using Node.js and TypeScript.
Architectural Influence: Act as a solution architect within your domain, ensuring the platform remains scalable and secure.
Collaboration: Work closely with a hybrid team of senior engineers and augmented international teams.
Delivery Excellence: Maintain high-velocity output to meet a demanding and fast-paced product roadmap.

Requirements

Senior Expertise: Proven experience in software engineering, with deep expertise in Node.js.
Technical Stack: Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern full-stack or backend architectures.
Problem-Solver Mindset: A track record of solving complex architectural challenges and generating intellectual property.
Self-Managed: Ability to thrive in a 100% remote environment while staying tightly aligned with APAC-based time zones.
Regulated Industry Experience: Experience in highly regulated industries (e.g., Fintech, FX, or Payments) is a significant plus.
Communication: Fluent in English and the ability to navigate complex technical discussions with stakeholders.

Why Join Us?

Integration: You are treated as a core team member, not an "outsourced" resource, with opportunities for high-level technical ownership.
Autonomy: Work in a remote-first culture that values results and problem-solving
Growth: Support a business in the "scale-up" phase with a clear trajectory toward major liquidity events or public listings.
