Build the Future of AI in New Zealand
We're a small team doing meaningful work. If you're passionate about AI, love solving real business problems, and want to help shape how New Zealand embraces technology — we'd love to meet you.
Small Team. Big Impact.
Avtrix is a startup — and we're proud of it. That means every person we hire has a real impact on the direction of the company, the quality of our work, and the culture we're building.
We don't have corporate politics, mandatory 9-to-5 hours, or pointless meetings. We have a clear mission, a talented team, interesting problems, and a genuine commitment to doing great work.
We're based in Taupo, New Zealand, but we work with clients across the country. Our team is remote-first with flexibility to work the way you work best.
A day at Avtrix looks like...
- Collaborating with clients on real business problems
- Building AI systems that actually get deployed and used
- Working with modern tools: Python, React, AWS, LLMs, automation platforms
- Flexible hours — we care about output, not hours logged
- Regular async communication; meetings only when needed
- Learning and experimenting with new AI techniques
- Direct access to our leadership team and visibility into company direction
