Around 40% of active New Zealand listings advertise some remote or hybrid flexibility, though model-building and data-pipeline work is largely asynchronous and tool-driven, and New Zealand's small local talent pool means employers routinely hire remote specialists across the country or accept candidates returning from OE (Overseas Experience) in the UK or Australia.
