IDEXX Veterinary Software is on a mission to offer the first vertical SaaS platform for Animal Health. We’re growing our engineering tribes to tackle a range of challenges. In this phase, we’re expanding our Clinical, Practice Management & Client Engagement domain tribes. The goal is to build additional squads for each and provide much-needed capacity to tackle more on our technical roadmap faster, unifying our portfolio of cloud platforms and applications.
We’re seeking skilled Senior Full Stack Engineers to join our Auckland R&D hub. You could be a driving force within several new squads, tackle challenges with all touch points of electronic clinical records, focus on efficient practice management workflow, or turn your hand to all things that enhance our clients' engagement with their customers, the pet parent.

We work with modern web technologies, including TypeScript, Go, and cloud-native architectures, to develop robust and maintainable solutions. With a strong focus on DevOps and automation, you'll contribute to CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and system reliability. If you're passionate about building cutting-edge applications in a fast-moving environment and enjoy working with event-driven architecture, domain services, containerization, and distributed systems, we'd love to hear from you!
Some key responsibilities of your role:Lead from the front, demonstrating your experience by hands-on delivery of features, showcasing engineering and architectural best practices.
Inspire a culture of accountability and end-to-end ownership of the squad’s product/feature/vision.
Contribute to the definition and evolution of IDEXX’s engineering values, principles, practices, standards, and behaviours across all squads.
