Move to New Zealand - Systems Reliability Engineer

Work alongside our innovative team based in Auckland, New Zealand! We are seeking talented individuals excited about the opportunity to learn, expand their skillset and support our company.

We welcome applications from individuals located internationally looking to relocate to Auckland, New Zealand. This role is based in Auckland and requires in-office attendance (hybrid).

Propellerhead hires exceptional talent from all around the globe and many of our people have relocated to New Zealand to join our team. We've created this website packed full of information about moving to New Zealand to work for Propellerhead, if you're interested in making the move to our wonderful country.

Prior to applying, please be aware that the final stage of our recruitment process is an in-person interview in New Zealand (click apply and see our application questions for more details).

The Role:

We're looking for an experienced, AI-native Systems Reliability Engineer to join our Engineering Team. This team works alongside our core development teams to support existing operations, with a mandate for continuous improvement and the goal to create systems that are as "hands-off" as possible. You'll work with our delivery teams throughout the development lifecycle to ensure systems delivered are scalable, robust, and supportable. You'll also work on optimising our software and infrastructure to improve reliability and decrease cost.

You are agentic-first. You reach for AI to diagnose, script, automate and document as a matter of course, and you are at home operating within an AI-assisted delivery pipeline.

There is an element of working on support issues arising in real time while also participating in DevOps tasks to implement changes and investigate problems.

In both instances, the expectation is that AI does the first pass and you direct and verify it.

Propellerhead operates a hybrid working model (work from our office and from your own home). While you must be based in Auckland for this role, we warmly welcome applications from across New Zealand and internationally who are planning to relocate to Auckland. This particular role requires regular in-person office attendance.

We offer a culture built on trust, continuous learning, and meaningful impact. You'll join a team that values integrity over ego, and clarity over complexity.
