Author-it Software Co. (ASC)

Author-it Software Co. (ASC) is a fast-paced global business working on transformative technology. We are a world leading SaaS and on premise provider for authoring technical publications, e-learning and pharmaceutical information.

Our two software platforms, Docuvera and Author-it, enable the transformation of how our customers create and manage their content, leveraging a component first approach where content is broken down, easily assembled into documents, and reused across their organisation.

Our primary technology hub is based in Palmerston North, with our other tech, product and customer teams spread across Wellington, Auckland, the USA and the Netherlands. In Palmerston North, there are Software Engineers, Testers, Solution Architects and DevOps Engineers, alongside Product and Marketing teams, with plenty of opportunities to innovate together and learn from each other.

Our global team of over 120 people will do their best to deliver on their commitments to our customers, so we let them get on with it.  We’re progressive in our approach and know what makes a great product, so we seek people to join us who can show us that they’re passionate about their field of work, show initiative, and are constantly learning so adapt to try new things or take on a different perspective, and are keen to have some fun along the way.

Of the many qualities our diverse global team have, one that stands out is our passion for what we do. We take pride in our work and we are constantly learning and adapt to try new things or take on a different perspective. We enjoy and thrive in our rapidly changing environment, which requires flexibility and self-discipline, but, in return, we relish the excitement that we are part of a fast-paced scale up business working on transformative technology.
