Lead a defined engineering discipline within the Platform Portfolio, providing technical direction across design, architecture, and delivery. Focus on building high-performing teams through coaching, mentoring, and championing modern engineering practices.
Requires an experienced engineering leader or senior engineer with strong full-stack expertise and a proven track record of mentoring others. Must possess strong communication skills and the ability to balance technical excellence with delivery and compliance.
Our purpose at Gallagher is ‘Protect what matters most’ and we live it every day, whether that’s protecting the world’s highest security environments or agricultural businesses, we care deeply about our people, their families, and our wider communities.
Gallagher Security is on a mission to unlock more value for our customers through the power of our people and solutions - and right now is a pivotal moment in our evolution. We’re scaling with intent, driving an incredible growth trajectory with innovation and customer impact at the heart of everything we do. With operations across New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Africa, the USA, Canada, and Europe and exports to over 140 countries we’re building globally focused career pathways right here in New Zealand.
As we expand our Hamilton-based teams, this is your chance to be part of a true Kiwi tech success story making a global impact. If you’re driven by passion and purpose to protect what matters most, come help shape the future of what’s possible with us.
Gallagher Security’s Platform Portfolio is growing, and we’re looking for a Software Engineering Lead to help strengthen technical leadership, build high-performing teams, and support the delivery of scalable, secure, reliable, and high-quality solutions.
This is a key leadership role within our Security Product environment, combining hands-on technical direction, people leadership, and accountability for delivery outcomes across a defined engineering discipline.
You’ll influence how teams work, guide technical decision-making, develop others, and help Platform Portfolio continue to scale its engineering capability for the future.
In this role, you’ll:
Lead a defined engineering discipline within Platform Portfolio, providing technical direction across design, architecture, delivery, risk, quality, and lifecycle considerations
Build engineering capability through coaching, mentoring, clear expectations, constructive feedback, development planning, and career support
Partner closely with Product, UX/UI Design, Architecture, Platform, DevOps, Security, and engineering teams to deliver secure, scalable, and high-quality solutions
Help teams make sound technical decisions while balancing delivery, quality, risk, cost, compliance, and long-term maintainability
Champion continuous improvement, modern engineering practices, automation, standards, and team effectiveness
You’re an experienced engineering leader, or a senior engineer ready to step further into leadership. You bring strong engineering judgement, curiosity, and the confidence to guide others through technical decisions, delivery priorities, and change.
You’ll enjoy leading through ambiguity, making work visible, removing blockers, and helping teams deliver predictably while creating an environment where engineers can grow and do their best work.
You’re collaborative, clear in your communication, and comfortable influencing across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Ideally, you’ll bring:
Strong full-stack engineering experience, with deep technical expertise in a core discipline and the ability to work across related systems and technologies
Experience leading, coaching, mentoring, and developing engineers through clear expectations, feedback, and support
The ability to balance technical excellence with delivery, quality, risk, cost, compliance, and long-term maintainability
Clear communication, strong collaboration skills, and the ability to influence across varied stakeholder groups
A continuous improvement mindset and curiosity about new tools, automation, standards, engineering practices, and industry trends
At Gallagher, we believe innovation happens when great people are trusted to do meaningful work. You’ll join a collaborative, forward-thinking environment where continuous improvement is part of how we operate, not just a principle.
This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping how Platform Portfolio works, grows, and delivers - strengthening engineering capability, developing others, influencing technical direction, and helping people, teams, and products thrive.
We also offer:
•Competitive salary, annual bonus, and KiwiSaver on top
•Flexibility that works around your life, with hybrid options and flexible hours
•A modern tech hub at Innovation Park, with free parking and great eateries on-site
•Life and disability insurance for added peace of mind
•Staff discounts and perks through the Boost App
•A connected culture with team events, learning sessions, and great coffee
Ready to lead engineers, grow capability, and make a meaningful impact within Platform Portfolio? Apply now.
