Watchful Halloween Hackathon

​We’re bringing makers, coders, and builders together in Auckland for a day of hands-on building. No slide decks. No “innovation theatre.” Just working prototypes that run live.

At the end of the challenge, standout builders will earn bragging rights and mystery prizes.

​Beyond bragging rights, one prize up for grabs is a spot on our engineering team. Whether as an internship or a senior role, you’ll work on real projects that protect people and stop threats.

​The Challenges

​Build whatever excites you! The only two rules being no slide decks allowed, and try to keep it relatively SFW.

​What We’re Looking For

• ​People who love turning ideas (serious or silly) into working systems.

• ​Engineers who care as much about usability as code.

• ​Makers who would rather demo a project than talk about it.

​Why Join

• ​No slides. No startup theatre. Just code, demos, and fun.

• ​Win prizes, earn bragging rights, and maybe land the role of a lifetime.

​Got a weird idea? Bring it to life with us at the Watchful Halloween Hackathon.
