Application Security Developer

About Us

PaySauce has been cooking up awesome payroll since 2015. We started off small but have been growing fast - we’ve moved from start up to scale up and have more and more customers learning to love the Sauce! With our clever platform and our sharp eye for security, compliance and ease of use, we make it really easy for Kiwi employers to manage the human side of business - from contracts to digital timesheets, payroll, banking and filing.

We love payroll and people, and we’re revolutionising the way they are looked after: we really care about helping both employers and employees by making the tough things simple and letting them focus on the things that matter. Our goal? Effortless yet flexible. Clever solutions that are intuitive to use and make payroll a beautiful experience.

About the role

Our product and reach is growing, which means so is our Development Team. We’re looking for confident, capable and clever developers who like the sound of what we do and are keen to help us grow.

While many of us are generalists, we are looking to bring a developer into the team who has a specific interest in security. You’ll work across different development squads to do a variety of work, including:

• adding new security features or strengthening existing code & features
• trialing and implementing additional security tooling
• supporting efforts across teams to improve security practices

About you

You’re an experienced developer with an interest in or previous exposure to security. You’re curious and keen - you’ll get hands on with all of our products, tools and systems. You’ll have experienced staff to guide you on your way, but you’ll also be self-driven. You’re good at sharing with others about what you’re doing or learning - you’re happy to take the lead on work around documentation, training or process improvements as your comfort level with the work increases.

Why you’ll love working at PaySauce

Life is good here with the PayForce. We take care of each other as much as we do our customers: we’re built on being empathetic, kind, and people first.

We live by our values - they aren’t just words on a page to us, they are what we live and breathe. We’re straight up and take our mission seriously, but we have fun along the way!

We’re committed to supporting your development and ensuring you feel fulfilled and happy at work. We’re dedicated to ensuring everyone feels valued and has a contribution to make to PaySauce’s (very bright) future.

You’ll get health insurance, extra leave if you’re becoming a parent and an invitation to join our employee share scheme. You can ditch the formal office wear - we’re pretty laid back, and the office is fun, friendly and close to shops and cafes. Most importantly, you’ll have an awesome supportive crew around you in a company that’s really going places.
