I would need US visa sponsorship to consider an in-person role, but I'm open to remote for the right position.

Senior software engineer, with experience in SaaS full-stack delivery, platform engineering, and distributed systems.

Particularly interested in developer experience and tooling, or building products that bring joy to the user! I'm passionate about mentoring and collaboration, technical excellence, and making sure that technical decisions serve the business and the user, rather than the other way around.

I worked at a company that used both.

Apply at jobs even if you don't have experience in the specific language, most of the time your fundamentals should carry you. If there's a specific role you really want, then make a side project on GitHub in the language you want to have experience in, and that can help get past any HR person that's just looking for a keyword on your CV.

That's pretty low for that long experience even in NZ, what's your role and tech stack at the moment? Maybe I can find a referral for you if you want to stay in NZ. There are also Australian companies hiring remote that pay much better than that (e.g. Atlassian and Zapier,).
