Careers
Senior work, and no one to hand it to.
We build enterprise AI for New Zealand and Australian organisations, and it goes live in weeks. The person who builds a thing is the person the client deals with. The work stays with you, from the first conversation to the thing running in production.
Fifteen years of delivery behind us. 100% NZ built, Māori and Pacific owned, enterprise proven. We are not advertising a role today - what to do about that is at the foot of this page.
Live in weeks. On a platform we built and run ourselves.
Real systems in production, tailored to a client’s own data and workflows. Not pilots, and not a deck about what could be built later.
We run our own agency on the same software we sell. When something is awkward, we are the first people it is awkward for - which is a shorter feedback loop than most places you have worked.
We build AI that empowers people rather than replacing them. We have turned down work that would simply replace a team, and we will again. The proof is that we say no.
There’s no vacancy list. There is an address.
We are not advertising a role today, and this page won’t pretend otherwise. If you have read this far and think you should be working here, write to us and say what you would want to build.
These four are the closest thing to a job description we have. They were published for a decade before the AI pivot, and we treat them as observations rather than aspirations.
People
Ngākau Tangata
People are our greatest asset. We put them at the heart of every project.
Perseverance
Ngākau-roa
Challenges define us. We push, we reflect, we pivot, and we stay until it works.
Integrity
Ngākau Tapatahi
Integrity guides every decision. We tell you the truth, and say no when something doesn't fit.
Insight
Ngākau-nui
We are curious and challenge assumptions. We solve the right problem before solving it right.
RIVER is based in Aotearoa New Zealand, and everything we build is built here.
