Careers

  • Location: Auckland preferred

    The Lever Room helps organisations make sharper, defensible decisions on climate and nature.

    We combine science, strategy and technology and we’re building software that turns complex environmental data into decisions organisations can trust.

    We’re looking for a Full-Stack Product Engineer to help shape and ship those tools.

    What you’ll do

    You’ll help build and ship product features across the stack, including:

    • Building customer-facing web experiences in React / TypeScript that turn complex data into clear decisions

    • Owning features end-to-end across frontend, backend APIs and cloud infrastructure

    • Working with data-heavy workflows and model-driven systems, with a focus on reliability, traceability and performance

    • Partnering with product/design to translate messy real-world requirements into clean user flows and great UX

    • Tightening engineering foundations as you go: testing, documentation/playbooks, maintainability and release discipline

    • Improving deployment confidence with lightweight CI/CD and sensible checks, so shipping is safe and repeatable

    • Using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate build velocity while keeping quality and security high

    • Building practical internal tooling where it saves time and reduces risk

    The kind of engineer we’re looking for

    This role suits someone who enjoys owning problems end-to-end, not just implementing tickets. You’re likely someone who:

    • Learns and adapts quickly

    • Uses modern AI development tools confidently with good judgment

    • Prioritises security and sensible engineering hygiene

    • Is comfortable building across frontend, backend APIs and cloud infrastructure

    • Has strong React / TypeScript product development experience

    • Is comfortable in Azure or another major cloud platform, such as AWS or GCP, and willing to learn fast

    • Has shipped real products, not just prototypes, and understands reliability trade-offs

    • Can take rough direction and turn it into working software quickly

    • Is comfortable in environments where requirements evolve

    • Has good judgment on when to prioritise speed versus polish

    Nice to have/preferred:

    • Experience with Next.js and modern component systems

    • Experience building data-rich dashboards, decision tools or analytical products

    • Experience with Python backend development; FastAPI is a plus

    • Experience with modern data platforms; Databricks is a plus

    • Familiarity with cloud storage, APIs and CI/CD/deployment pipelines

    • Familiarity with infrastructure as code; Bicep or Terraform is a plus

    • Experience working in small teams building new products

    • Comfort working in technically complex, data-heavy domains

    What success looks like

    In the first few weeks, you’ll start to:

    ·         Ship improvements that materially improve product usability and clarity

    ·         Translate product direction into working software regularly

    ·         Improve the quality and maintainability of the product stack

    ·         Help reduce dependency on single contributors by improving documentation, process and engineering foundations.

    You’ll have real ownership over what gets built and how it works.

    The problems are technically interesting and the work helps solve real-world problems.
