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 in its evolution to a Rust code base.

We welcome applications from individuals located internationally seeking remote engagements, or those looking to relocate to Auckland, New Zealand.

While most of our team work within the New Zealand timezone, we welcome applications from those located internationally. Propellerhead only require a minimal timezone overlap with our NZ-based team, mainly to join the daily stand-up. This typically takes place at the start of the NZ work day (9.00am NZT), though may vary slightly depending on which team you join. The crossover hours will be discussed further and agreed upon in the latter stages of our recruitment process.

The Role:

As a Product Owner at Propellerhead, your primary purpose will be to ensure clarity on the next most valuable thing to deliver.
