Full-Stack Node/Angular Engineer

At Hive, we empower Kiwis to build better financial futures through accessible advice and ongoing service across two channels: direct to retail clients, and in partnership with financial advisers using our platform.

We are looking for a Full-Stack Node/Angular Engineer to join our team in Auckland or Christchurch.

What you’ll do

• Build, refine and own features end-to-end across our Angular + NestJS stack, from planning through to production
• Work in an AI-assisted delivery model: you shape the problem and the plan, use AI coding agents to accelerate implementation, and stay fully accountable for what ships
• Review AI-generated code with the same rigour as a teammate's PR, catching subtle bugs, security gaps, and design drift before they reach production
• Work directly with product managers, designers and stakeholders to understand user needs and turn them into well-scoped work
• Translate complex financial concepts into simple, usable UI and workflows
• Advocate for strong patterns, readable code, and practical testing, including using AI to raise automated test coverage
• Hold the line on our engineering minimums across system design, testability, observability, security, performance, data integrity, compliance and operability
• Participate in architecture discussions and contribute to evolving our AWS-based infrastructure
• Use tools like Prisma, Auth0, and Datadog to deliver secure, performant, observable experiences
• Help shape how we use AI as a team: share prompts, workflows and context files that work, and flag where they don't
• Balance speed of delivery with code quality and long-term maintainability

Our Tech Stack

Frontend:

• Angular+React (microfront-end architecture) / TypeScript
• TailwindCSS
• Auth0
• Biome, Husky
• Karma + Jasmine for testing

Backend:

• NestJS / TypeScript

• PostgreSQL (RDS)
• Jest

DevOps & Infra:

• AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, CloudWatch)
• GitHub Actions for CI/CD
• Dockerised environments

AI Tooling:

What You Bring

• 3+ years building customer-facing apps in Angular and/or Node/NestJS
• Hands-on experience using AI coding tools in real delivery work, plus a clear sense of where they help and where they get it wrong
• Strong code-reading and review skills. You're comfortable owning code you didn't type line-by-line
• A product mindset: you care about why something is being built, not just how
• The ability to break down ambiguous problems into clear plans, specs and acceptance criteria
• A good grasp of API design, state management, and responsive UI
• Comfort working directly with designers, PMs, and other engineers to shape user-first features
• Familiarity with AWS and modern CI/CD practices
• Bonus: Experience in financial services, regulated environments, or handling sensitive data, especially thinking about what should and shouldn't go into an AI tool

We Offer

• Competitive remuneration that reflects your experience
• Hybrid model - 2 days per week in our Auckland/Christchurch office
• A supportive and collaborative team environment
