Junior Developer

Junior Developer — Fully Remote, NZ-Based
Start your career with purpose: contribute to software that helps save lives.

Why this role matters
This is not just another Dev job. You’ll be helping improve outcomes for patients around the world by building and supporting software used in critical medical research, including studies identifying effective treatments for Covid-19.
You’ll be joining Spiral; a human-focused, flexible, and quietly innovative software company working alongside researchers, hospitals and universities.
  
What you’ll do
As a Junior Developer, you’ll be part of a small, friendly and highly experienced remote team, contributing to the design, development, testing, and support of our study management software.
You’ll work autonomously (with plenty of support), bring your curiosity to the table, and grow through hands-on mentoring from senior developers.
  
About you
You’re early in your software development career and ready to dive in. You love to learn and solve problems, and you’re excited about contributing to projects that matter.
You’re probably someone who is:

• A clear communicator and an eager listener
• Curious, reliable, and detail-focused
• Comfortable working independently (but not alone)
• Friendly, thoughtful, and team-oriented — no egos here

Your technical toolkit
To hit the ground running, you’ll need:

• Working knowledge of .NET, HTML/CSS, and SQL
• A thorough approach to testing and debugging
• A strong customer mindset and interest in usability
• A willingness to put in the mahi and learn as you go

What it’s like to work at Spiral
We’re a fully remote team working across Aotearoa, located as far north as Auckland all the way down to Dunedin. We build software that helps researchers improve health outcomes around the world.
We keep things flexible, human, and focused. Our culture is kind, practical, and resourceful.
Our team includes programmers, musicians, beekeepers, readers, gardeners, knitters, tinkerers, parents, volunteers. And all of us are problem solvers at heart.
  
What we offer

• Remote-first flexibility: work from home or a co-working space
• Flexible hours: we take a trust-based approach to work - so you can work when you're most effective.
• Extra leave: 4 weeks annual leave + public holidays + your birthday + extra days at Christmas.
• Professional Development: we provide an annual allowance support your learning and growth
• Broadband allowance: we’ll cover your home internet

We also gather in person at least once a year to work, connect, and recharge together.
