Hi list,

I'm moving back to NZ after quite a few years of being away, not sure yet where, but likely to be Welly or Auckland.  Does anyone have any tips about finding good places to work in NZ?  Where do companies (i.e. not recruiters) tend to post jobs?  Who are the big-dogs that use open source stacks in either Auckland or Wellington that are constantly recruiting?  I'm sticking my toe in the water at the moment, but so far I've been skimming trademe jobs, and I'm now looking for active mailing lists (ruby, python, java) to try and find companies to send my CV out to. 


Cheers,
Nick

There is a high demand for Ruby programmers so your prospects should be pretty good  at either of the locations.

Better in Wellington, in my experience.

Hi Nick

A search on google groups reveals much :)


There was  a really old thread about a list of companies in Wellington, can't find it anymore. Perhaps someone might want to produce a more up to date list ? ;)

Cheers
Thong

Hey Nick.

If you decide you'd rather live in Tauranga than Wellington or Auckland drop me a line.

I've got the hand bag fighting weapon ;-)

If you're interested in a company in the US 'maker movement' based in Wellington and San Francisco ... we're looking for a new Head of Technology.

I have to say, this thread is a pretty amazing demonstration of how in-demand Rails developers are at the moment...
