Senior Software Development Engineer
Job Description
ABOUT US
Nylon is the AI research platform for tax and law professionals.
The tool practitioners reach for when the answer has to be right. We're used by 2,000+ firms across NZ, AU and the UK, backed by Blackbird, and expanding fast beyond research into the wider workflow professionals live in: client meetings, documents, the tools firms already use.
THE ROLE
We’re hiring senior full-stack engineers (backend-heavy) to own product integration surfaces end to end: architecture, delivery and operational excellence. You’ll work with product from “should this exist?” through to running in production, then keep iterating on real usage. Your work lands with thousands of firms across NZ, AU and the UK.
We're hiring into the Integrations pod where you'll be driving the wedge into the daily workflow. Outlook, Xero, practice-management systems. Each one pulls Nylon deeper into how a firm actually runs.
HOW WE WORK
- AI-native. Agentic dev tooling (Claude Code) is the development loop.
- You run what you ship. Owning a surface includes its production health, observability, performance and incident response.
- Async-first. Clear writing is a first-class engineering skill here.
- No prescribed solutions. We agree the problem and the constraints; how you solve it is yours.
ABOUT YOU
- We care most about evidence of ownership, but you've likely got 5+ years of commercial software development experience.
- You can point at a system you took from design to production and then operated
- High agency: biased towards action, you own outcomes, not tasks
- You decompose hard problems and reason in trade-offs, out loud and in writing
- You already use AI tooling to ship faster, and you're curious about where that goes next
- You build robust systems to reduce the 2am pages
- Show us something you built because you wanted it to exist (a repo, an app, a product or a business all count)
