Tight knit team.
What it's like to work with us
Canary is a small, tight-knit team of developers — and we love it that way. Our main office is in Auckland, New Zealand. Everyone in the team knows each other, works closely together, and genuinely cares about the quality of what we build.
If you are a motivated, aspiring developer with the aptitude to tackle challenging problems, a passion for learning, and pride in your craft, this might be your style.
We also periodically offer starting-out positions, for students looking to gain real commercial experience while studying.
Small team. Big impact. Great technology.
Why work at Canary?
Tight-knit team
No ticket queues, no faceless departments. You work directly with your colleagues on real projects, every day.
Ownership & trust
We work with capable people and try and provide ownership in the process from design through to delivery.
Interesting problems
Our clients span industries — from industrial automation to enterprise systems to bespoke web applications. No two projects are the same.
Always learning
The team shares knowledge freely. If someone picks up something useful, everyone hears about it. Senior developers are hands-on, not just architects.
Great technology
We are enthusiastic about the tools we use — borderline techno geeky, if we are being honest. Our stack is ever-changing, and we are flexible to find the right tool for the job.
Sounds like you?
Even when we don't have a formal opening advertised — we are always interested in hearing from talented developers and upcoming students who share our passion for technology and doing good work.
Student applications for 2026/2027 intake
We've had a massive response from applications from university students looking for part-time software development experience that fits around study commitments.
With our Kari Street office just a short walk from the University of Auckland city campus, it can be an ideal location for stellar Auckland University students who want to gain real commercial experience while continuing their studies.
