Job Description
At Orion Health, we build cutting-edge technology that helps patients, clinicians, and health systems connect in smarter, safer, and more meaningful ways.

What You’ll Get to Do
Dive into real product teams in Auckland or Christchurch, working on production code and delivering features from the ground up
Tackle meaningful tasks across platforms implemented at sites all around the world
Pair with experienced developers and test engineers to build, test and ship solutions that scale
Get exposure to modern tech stacks including Java, React, AWS, CI/CD, and more
Contribute to daily stand-ups, code reviews, sprint planning and everything in between – you’re part of the team

Real responsibility: No sandbox projects – you’ll help shape products used by millions
Tech playground: Explore a variety of technical areas across our rich platform ecosystem
Supportive mentors: Learn alongside senior engineers who want to see you thrive
Vibrant culture: Friday drinks, social events, and a smart-casual dress code that keeps things real
Wellbeing perks: Flexible working, free breakfasts, barista coffee, and office fruit to power your code sessions
Career springboard: Many of our interns stay on with us and return as grads – and grow fast
What You’ll Bring to the Table
We are looking for curious thinkers, passionate builders, and eager learners. Here’s what will help you thrive:
Experience or familiarity with:
Java
HTML/CSS and JavaScript
React, Angular, or other mobile/web frameworks
AWS or Azure cloud services
Linux and Bash scripting
Git and source control fundamentals
Skills and traits we love:
A love for software products and how things work under the hood
Strong logic and creative problem-solving
Attention to detail and a drive to build things that last

Take part in mind-bending, team-based games designed to showcase your collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking
