An exceptional contract opportunity for a senior developer to automate energy-efficiency software, offering great rates and a fast hiring loop.
Why You’d Like It
If you are a Full-Stack Developer who loves seeing your code make a tangible, real-world impact, this 4-month contract is for you. You will be stepping into a high-profile sustainability project where your work directly helps reduce carbon footprints and energy consumption on a massive scale. Add in a great daily rate, a streamlined "one-and-done" interview process, and the option for total remote flexibility within New Zealand, and it is an ideal winter contract.

The Story
A major player in the Kiwi industrial sector has successfully built a Proof of Concept (PoC) for an innovative energy optimisation tool. Now, it is time to scale. The project is moving out of the trial phase and into full production to automate and optimise equipment scheduling across major manufacturing sites. They need a sharp Python Developer to help transition this tool from a clever concept into a robust, enterprise-ready reality.

Company Profile
This organisation is an absolute cornerstone of New Zealand’s export economy and a global leader in its field. They are heavily focused on operational excellence and are currently undergoing a massive push to replace manual, spreadsheet-heavy processes with smart, tech-driven automation. Despite their size, the focus here is on agility, sustainability, and green innovation.

Your Role
As a Full-Stack Python Developer, you will bridge the gap between frontend usability and backend stability to scale this optimization tool. You will be responsible for turning a successful prototype into a high-performing production tool used heavily in daily operations.
Your main priorities will include:
  • Transitioning the existing PoC into a scaled, production-ready solution.
  • Replacing manual, spreadsheet-driven workflows with automated, reliable code.
  • Developing slick user interfaces while ensuring backend data processes are seamless.
  • Collaborating on a modern stack involving Python, JavaScript/React, and relational databases.
  • Utilising Linux and Docker environments to ensure smooth deployment and testing.
Benefits
  • Top-tier contracting rates: Competitive rates to the candidate.
  • True flexibility: Work from Auckland or Hamilton, or work completely remotely from anywhere in New Zealand.
  • Streamlined hiring: Skip the multi-stage fatigue with a single tech and culture interview.
  • Green tech focus: Play a genuine part in a high-profile carbon reduction initiative.
Your Fit
To hit the ground running here, you will bring a strong full-stack profile with over 5 years of commercial Python experience under your belt. Ideally, you sit right in that 50/50 sweet spot between frontend and backend, though if you lean slightly heavier toward the frontend (JavaScript/React), we still want to talk to you. You should be comfortable working with SQL, Linux, and Docker, and if you have some Azure experience in your toolkit, that will definitely give you an edge.
