Build AI that actually ships.
We're building NZ's leading enterprise AI company. Not demos, not prototypes - production AI used by real teams every day. If that's the kind of work you want to do, we should talk.
What we look for
Traits over titles.
We don't hire for job titles - we hire people who can ship, think clearly, and work well with enterprise clients. The rest we figure out together.
You ship
You'd rather have something live in two weeks than perfect in six months. You care about outcomes, not activity.
You think in systems
You see how the parts connect. Whether it's architecture, process, or people - you design for the whole, not just your slice.
You work with humans
Enterprise AI is 30% technology, 70% people and process. You can talk to a CEO, train a team, and write documentation that humans actually read.
You care about quality
Production-grade means something to you. Audit trails, security, accessibility, testing - you don't cut corners on the things that matter.
How we work
The RIVER way.
Real AI, real clients
Every project ships to production. No prototypes that gather dust. You'll work on AI systems used daily by enterprise teams across NZ and Australia.
NZ-built, globally capable
We're proudly 100% NZ built, Māori and Pacific owned. Our clients are enterprise organisations who need AI that meets their standards.
Small team, big impact
No layers of management. You'll work directly with clients and ship work that matters. Your contribution is visible from day one.
AI-first development
We use AI to build AI. Agentic development, AI-assisted code review, automated testing. If you're excited about the future of how software gets built, you'll fit right in.
Open applications
No open roles right now. But we're always listening.
We don't always have listed positions, but we're always interested in hearing from talented people. If you're an engineer, designer, AI specialist, or someone who doesn't fit neatly into a category - reach out. The best hires often start with a conversation.
