Wellington | In-office (bit of hybrid)

We have some great digital projects on, and are looking for a couple of senior contract web and / or full stack devs to join our team in getting these to market. We’re looking for contract Front End or Full Stack Developers to help us build high-impact, human-centred digital experiences. With several exciting projects kicking off soon, we need folks who can jump in confidently and collaborate well across disciplines.

About us

Alphero is a digital agency that blends strategy, design, and tech to help organisations reimagine how they connect with people. We work across a wide range of industries—from government to finance to energy—designing and building mobile apps, web platforms, and emerging digital products that are smart, scalable, and a little bit magical. Our team is pragmatic, passionate, and focused on quality outcomes—not ticking boxes.

About the work

• You'll be part of a tight-knit, cross-functional team working on meaningful digital products. Our front-end stack is built around ReactJS, NextJS, and TypeScript, with a strong emphasis on accessibility, clean design implementation, and smooth micro-interactions—often using libraries like Lottie. We care deeply about interface quality and inclusive design, so a strong understanding of WCAG and modern UX/UI principles is important.
• Many of our projects involve cloud-native services, and we’re especially keen on developers with experience across AWS (such as Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Aurora, S3, and CDK). That said, if you’ve got similar experience with Azure services or equivalent cloud-native platforms, we’re very open—what matters most is that you're confident with infrastructure-as-code, understand serverless architectures, and can think clearly about integration patterns and performance trade-offs.
• Or maybe You’ll prefer contributing across the stack—from polished front-end builds to secure and scalable API layers—bringing strong coding practices, reusability, and architectural thinking to everything you do. This isn’t a heads-down role; we’re looking for someone who enjoys shaping how things are built, not just executing requirements.

You’ll need solid commercial experience in HTML, CSS, TypeScript, and modern frameworks like ReactJS and NextJS. A user-centred mindset and fluency with accessibility best practices are essential. On the back end, you should be confident working with APIs and cloud services—preferably in AWS, but we’re happy to talk if you bring Azure or other cloud platform experience. Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like CDK or Terraform is a bonus.

Other nice-to-haves include: integrating with headless CMSs (e.g. Contentful or Sanity), working with CRMs like Salesforce, automated testing (Jest, Playwright), and any curiosity or exposure to AI tools.

Must be based in Wellington. International candidates will not be considered.

Why Alphero?

We’re big on autonomy, trust, and doing meaningful work with people who care. You’ll be part of a team that values critical thinking, clear communication, and well-crafted digital experiences. Whether you’re on-site in Wellington or in Auckland, you’ll have support, flexibility, and the chance to do great work alongside people who genuinely enjoy what they do.
