C++ Developers

We’re working with a specialist engineering consultancy delivering into a globally recognised technology business, currently scaling up a new embedded systems project.

They’re looking to bring on a number of C++ Software Engineers to join a newly formed team working on high-performance, real-world systems in the heavy equipment space.

This is a rare opportunity to get involved early in a project, help shape how things are built, and work on technology that is used in the field globally.

The Role

You’ll be working as part of a small, high-performing team delivering embedded software into a complex, hardware-integrated environment.

This will involve:

• Developing and maintaining C++ software for embedded systems

• Working close to hardware, with real-world constraints and performance considerations

• Contributing to system design and technical decisions

• Debugging and problem-solving at a low level

• Collaborating with other engineers across software, hardware and systems

What We’re Looking For

We’re open to a mix of experience levels (intermediate through to senior), but ideally you’ll have:

• Strong C++ experience (embedded or systems-level preferred)

• Experience working close to hardware / low-level systems

• Solid understanding of performance, memory, and system constraints

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently

• Experience working in collaborative engineering teams

Embedded experience is highly preferred, but strong C++ engineers from adjacent domains will be considered.

Working Setup

• Initial 1–2 months on-site in Christchurch to get up to speed

• After that, fully remote (NZ-based) 

• Open to candidates across NZ 

• Must be willing to relocate short-term for onboarding

What’s on Offer

• Long-term contract (up to 2 years)

• Highly competitive hourly rates

• Opportunity to work on a technically challenging, high-impact project

• Small team, real ownership, and influence over how things are built

• Work that goes beyond typical product development - this is real-world engineering

Why This Role?

C++ roles like this don’t come up often in NZ.

If you enjoy working close to the metal, solving complex problems, and being part of building something from the ground up - this is well worth a conversation.
