Azure Senior Integration Developer / Consultant

COMPANY ENVIRONMENT

Adaptiv is the leader in integration consulting and development in NZ, delivering innovative solutions for our clients’ needs through cloud-based services.  We employ the best of the best in the industry which makes it easy to support our staff in gaining the skills necessary to become integration experts.  

No two days are the same, and while we provide complex solutions for some impressive clients, we know when to switch off and have fun. With no office politics, an excellent company culture and a modern rooftop office (BBQ anyone?), this kind of opportunity does not come around often.

The incumbent will be required to work on multiple projects at any one time and balance workload accordingly. The role is required to use tools and techniques related to software development in a dynamic, constantly changing environment.

This position is highly responsive to the requests of clients with work priorities largely influenced by these stakeholders.
