Platform Engineer

Working with the AA | Me mahi tahi tatou ki AA

For over 120 years, the AA has been helping Kiwis on their adventures! Today, we’re one of New Zealand’s most respected and trusted brands. From our humble beginnings as a motoring enthusiast's club, the New Zealand AA (Automobile Association) has grown into a large, dynamic organisation offering many services and products to more than a million Members.

And now, we’re building the organisation of the future – more connected, modern, and purpose-driven. We are a business in transformation, with opportunities to work cross-functionally, grow new skills, and make a meaningful impact. We’re investing in our people, platforms, and ways of working to stay ahead of what our Members and customers need.

We now have an opportunity for a Platform Engineer to join the team.

What You’ll Be Doing | Mō te Tūranga

You’ll play a vital part in supporting and enhancing our SaaS & PaaS environments. You’ll ensure our platforms are secure, cost-effective, and resilient—helping us deliver outstanding services to our Members. This is a hybrid role, working with our Platform team to drive innovation and continuous improvement across our technology landscape. You’ll be responsible for supporting our technology services, ensuring security and compliance, monitoring performance, and developing plans for disaster recovery and business continuity. You’ll also proactively explore new technologies, promote safe work practices, and build strong relationships with both internal teams and external partners.

About You | Mōu

You bring proven experience supporting enterprise platforms, with a focus on Microsoft technologies. You have knowledge of disaster recovery procedures and testing, relevant IT work experience and tertiary qualification, and strong communication and customer service skills. You’re known for your positive, can-do attitude, your passion for optimising technology solutions, and your ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues and drive continuous improvement. Platform certification is a bonus, but not essential.

What We Offer | Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou

• Free AA Membership for you and your whānau
• A day off for your birthday
• Hybrid working arrangement
• Ongoing training and career development

Here, we offer a lot more than roadside assistance. We’re constantly evolving and advancing into new businesses, offering new challenges and a range of opportunities.
