Description

At Devoli, our mission is to simplify telco and communications. We’ve built a leading SaaS platform that orchestrates and manages data and voice services, taking the hassle out of telco for our customers. Our Portal and APIs are used daily by managed service providers (MSPs) and enterprise customers alike, helping manage over 150,000 live connections. Founded in 2008, we’ve got a few more grey hairs than your average start-up - and we see that as a strength. We work with a wide range of customers, from local MSPs through to household names like Contact Energy, and we focus on building software that solves real, operational problems. We’re well underway in modernising our platform, moving from a legacy PHP monolith to a distributed architecture with Python and Golang in the backend, and React with Next.js in the frontend. We also make extensive use of AI tooling to support our development workflows, with Cursor.ai and Claude Code currently among our favourites. We’re a small but diverse team of ~50 people, headquartered in a converted old pub in Victoria Park, Auckland CBD. The Role We have ambitious plans for the next phase of our SaaS platform and are looking for a UX Engineer to help shape how our customers experience it. This is a hybrid UX + front-end engineering role. You’ll take ownership of UX across the platform while also building the interfaces you design. You won’t be one of many specialists - you’ll be the person driving UX thinking day-to-day, supported by a strong product team and experienced software engineers. You’ll work as part of a cross-functional squad, collaborating closely with: The product team The software team across frontend and backend Customer-facing teams who bring real-world feedback into the process We operate in a product-led environment that values curiosity, collaboration, diversity of thought, and getting things into production. We believe software only delivers value once it’s live, used, and solving real problems - and UX is a critical part of that. What you’ll be doing Take ownership of UX as we design and build the new UI for our platform Design clear, usable experiences for complex B2B workflows that "don't make the user think" Help define how users will interact with AI-powered features and agents in the UI Translate designs into high-quality, production-ready code using React, Next.js, and Material UI Work closely with product to turn customer and business problems into intuitive solutions Collaborate with other engineers to lift the overall UI and UX quality across the platform Help establish consistent UI patterns and components as the product evolves Why join Devoli Real opportunity to own UX in a growing B2B platform A chance to grow your influence without being thrown in the deep end A small, pragmatic team that values shipping, learning, and improving Meaningful problems to solve for customers who rely on the platform every day You don’t need to tick every box. If you’re an intermediate UX engineer who wants to grow into broader UX ownership while staying hands-on in the code, we’d love to hear from you. A word on Timing The timing for posting this role is deliberate; we know people use the break to consider career opportunities for 2026 and we would love for you to consider us. That does mean though that we will only respond in mid-January, when most of our team have returned from a well deserved break. Please don't take our lack of response in the meantime as a lack of interest in you! What we’re looking for Experience working on UX for B2B SaaS products or complex internal tools Strong front-end fundamentals and confidence implementing your own designs Hands-on experience with React (Next.js and Material UI are strong pluses) Someone ready to step into ownership and help set UX direction, with support A collaborative mindset and comfort working in a small, diverse team Nice to have Interest or experience in AI-assisted or agent-based user experiences Experience contributing to or evolving shared UI patterns or design systems Comfort using modern developer tooling to support design-to-code workflows Experience in the utilities or telco industry Most importantly; you are willing to take the first step and reach out to talk to us. We’re a fun team and no two days are ever the same at Devoli, but there are a few things that are consistent: We'll make sure you've got the equipment you need to be successful - a fast Mac, standing desk and 34" screens to use while you're in the office Because we power NZ's best ISPs, we'll provide you with a broadband connection at home and a Devoli Mobile connection for your phone We love a shared lunch! Weekly grocery shops means that we keep our team fed, watered and caffeinated in the office. Expect regular lunches/BBQs and events too, where you can relax, enjoy some good food and banter with the team Our team culture is welcoming and diverse, and there's a strong sense of being One Team We believe in continuous learning and invest in our people's growth - we support them to participate in courses, conferences/events, coaching or other programs and have an individual training budget to make it happen Oh.. and you get your birthday off, too ;)
