Work at DocSpring
We're a small remote team based in New Zealand, and we've also worked from Thailand, Malaysia, and India. We build the API that software companies around the world use to fill PDF forms, generate documents, and collect e-signatures, and we work four days a week.
- 4 days a week, Tuesday to Friday, with flexible hours
- 5 weeks of paid leave, and the week between Christmas and New Year off on top
- Remote work from home, with your internet paid for
How we work
Results, not hours
Nobody tracks your time. You plan your own days, and if a week runs long, you take the time back.
Engineers answer support
Everyone talks to customers. You hear straight from the developers who use what you build, and you can fix what they report.
AI in everyday work
We use AI coding agents every day, and spend the time they save on tests, reviews, and the details customers notice.
Independent
We've taken one small investment, from a fund that backs companies that stay independent. We grow at our own pace.
Benefits
What every employee at DocSpring gets. Amounts are in New Zealand dollars.
A four-day week
We work Tuesday to Friday, so Monday is part of the weekend. When a public holiday falls on a Monday, you get the Tuesday off.
Five weeks of leave
20 days of paid annual leave a year, which is five four-day weeks.
A summer break
We close between Christmas and New Year, and that week is paid without coming out of your annual leave.
Every anniversary day
We take every public holiday in New Zealand, including each region's anniversary day, wherever you live.
Leave when you need it
15 days of paid sick leave a year, and 15 days of family violence leave (the law requires 10 of each).
Health insurance
We add the cost of health insurance for you, your partner, and your children to your pay.
KiwiSaver match
We match your KiwiSaver contributions up to 4% of your salary, more than the 3% the law requires.
Your home office
We pay for your home internet (fibre, or Starlink where fibre doesn't reach), a weekly home office allowance, and the desk and gear you need.
Good equipment
A new laptop at least every five years, and up to $1,500 toward a new phone every three years.
A learning budget
$1,500 a year for conferences, courses, and books, and we pay the travel to events like Ruby Retreat NZ.
Coffee and Netflix
$100 a month for coffee, drinks, and snacks while you work, and Netflix Premium for your household.
Your projects are yours
What you build in your own time stays yours, even when you use company equipment. We encourage open source work too.
