About the Role

We're seeking a Senior Data Scientist specializing in Fraud and Risk to join our Cape Town Data Science team. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of protecting our affiliate marketing ecosystem by researching, developing, and deploying ML models that detect and prevent fraud across attribution, lead quality, and partner compliance. You'll work on high-impact problems spanning traditional fraud patterns and emerging threats—from attribution manipulation to browser extension abuse—while building production systems that scale. This is an opportunity to combine rigorous analytical work with tangible business impact in a fast-moving, adversarial domain.

Core Responsibilities

Research & model development

• Conduct R&D on fraud detection and risk monitoring across the digital advertising ecosystem, including attribution fraud, lead fraud, click injection, browser extension abuse (e.g., Honey-style coupon hijacking), brand safety violations, and creator authenticity verification.
• Design, prototype, and validate ML models and rule-based systems for fraud detection, partner risk scoring, compliance monitoring, and trust & safety workflows.
• Research and apply graph-based fraud detection techniques (community detection, link analysis, behavioral clustering) and explore graph database applications for modeling relationships between users, devices, transactions, and partners to uncover coordinated fraud rings and suspicious network patterns.
• Stay ahead of emerging fraud patterns through continuous learning—monitoring industry trends, reviewing academic literature, exploring data for novel anomalies, and collaborating closely with Product, Compliance, and Trust & Safety teams.

Production deployment & iteration

• Deploy Fraud and Risk ML models to production; own the end-to-end delivery from ETL, feature engineering, model training, deployment, to monitoring.
• Iterate on live models by adding new features, improving performance (precision/recall/F1), and reducing false positives.
• Partner with MLOps and Engineering to ensure models are robust, scalable, and production-ready (testing, alerts, drift monitoring, retraining pipelines).

Data analytics & insights

• Perform deep-dive analyses on fraud trends, partner behavior, and risk patterns to inform model strategy and business decisions.
• Translate analytical findings into actionable recommendations for Product, Marketing, and Finance stakeholders.
• Build dashboards and reports to communicate model performance, fraud impact, and risk metrics to leadership.

Cross-functional collaboration

• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Finance to scope requirements, prioritize work, and align on success metrics.
• Communicate technical work clearly to non-technical audiences; present findings and tradeoffs in planning forums and reviews.
• Contribute to a culture of experimentation, documentation, and knowledge sharing within the Data Science team.

Requirements

Essential

• Experience: 5+ years in data science, ML, or advanced analytics, with at least 2+ years focused on fraud detection, risk modeling, or anomaly detection in production environments.
• Fraud & risk domain expertise: Demonstrated experience building and deploying fraud or risk models (classification, anomaly detection, time-series analysis, graph-based methods).
• Technical skills:
• Strong Python and SQL; proficiency with ML libraries (scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, or similar).
• Experience with feature engineering, model evaluation (ROC/AUC, precision-recall, cost-sensitive learning), and handling imbalanced datasets.
• Familiarity with production ML workflows (versioning, monitoring, A/B testing, model retraining).
• Analytical rigor: Strong foundation in statistics and ML; ability to design experiments, validate models, and interpret results with business context.
• Communication: Ability to translate complex technical work into clear insights for stakeholders; experience presenting to cross-functional teams.
• Education: Bachelor's in a quantitative field (CS, Statistics, Math, Engineering, or similar); Master's/PhD preferred.

Preferred / Nice to have

• Experience in affiliate marketing, ad tech, or e-commerce fraud (attribution fraud, click fraud, lead validation, coupon abuse).
• Familiarity with browser extension detection, fingerprinting, or device/user identity resolution.
• Experience with graph analytics or network-based fraud detection (community detection, link analysis, behavioral clustering).
• Knowledge of privacy-preserving ML techniques or working with privacy-constrained data.
• Experience with real-time or near-real-time scoring and low-latency deployment (e.g., REST APIs, streaming pipelines).
• Familiarity with GCP tools (BigQuery, Vertex AI, Cloud Run) and/or Databricks/Spark for large-scale data processing.
• Exposure to rule engines, decision trees, or hybrid rule-ML systems for compliance and risk workflows.

What sets you apart

• Adversarial thinking: You understand how fraudsters operate and can anticipate evasion tactics and evolving attack vectors.
• Pragmatic delivery: You balance rigor with speed, prioritizing MVPs and iterative improvement over perfection.
• Business impact orientation: You focus on measurable outcomes (fraud loss reduction, false positive rates, operational efficiency) and communicate ROI clearly.
• Comfort with ambiguity: You thrive in evolving problem spaces, defining your own roadmap when fraud patterns shift or new threats emerge.
• Collaboration and influence: You build trust across teams and can drive adoption of your models through enablement, documentation, and clear storytelling.

Your Role at impact.com:

As a Senior Software Engineer, Tech Lead for Data Systems, you will lead a squad of engineers focused on designing, building, and maintaining data systems that are maintainable, reliable, and understandable at scale. You will set technical direction, own squad-level delivery outcomes, and manage the health and growth of your team - all while remaining a strong hands-on engineering contributor.

This role is centered on designing resilient distributed systems, including handling retries, partial failures, backpressure, and consistency tradeoffs. You will set the bar for clear interfaces, strong tests, and solid observability (metrics and tracing) so our systems are easy to run, debug, and evolve - and hold the team to that bar consistently.

You are expected to function as the primary technical and people leader for your squad: breaking down complex problems into well-defined units of work, driving planning and cross-team alignment, governing releases and stability, and developing your direct reports through coaching and feedback.

This is a software engineering leadership role, not a data analysis/statistical role or an ETL/SQL-focused role.

Essential Responsibilities

• Provide direct people management: coaching, performance feedback, career development, delegation, hiring input, and team health
• Set and align technical approach for the squad; make or drive key decisions, resolve cross-engineer disagreements, and ensure designs fit architecture and guidelines
• Drive coordination to meet quarterly objectives - work breakdown, sequencing, dependency management, and alignment with stakeholders across a distributed team
• Serve as the final accountable approver for PRs, release readiness, point releases, and build/stage stability; ensure operational discipline is followed
• Own timely incident response patterns, drive follow-up, ensure preventative actions happen (not just fixes), and improve processes to reduce recurrence
• Set engineering standards for the squad (documentation expectations, review rigor, testing discipline, quality bars) and ensure consistency
• Break down complex data logic into small, testable units and model this practice for the team
• Instrument systems with strong observability - metrics and tracing - to support debugging and operational confidence
• Develop code both independently and while pair programming

Mission

We’re on a mission to help more people thrive in tech — becoming the central place for software makers to build great careers and for companies to build winning teams.

Within the Marketing team at OfferZen, our focus is to grow and engage our community of developers and companies through valuable content, events, reports, tools, and campaigns.

Design plays a key role in this — it’s how our brand shows up in the world, how we stay distinct in a market that often looks the same, and how we move from ideas to impact at pace.

As a Marketing Graphic Designer, your mission is to bring our brand to life across the full funnel while helping us scale how we design and deliver — through high-quality creative, reusable systems, and well-executed brand touchpoints like swag and events.

About the role

This role is focused on strong execution with room to grow. *Please note: This is a 12-month contract role that requires occasional visit to our Cape Town office. 

You’ll work closely with the marketing team and alongside a design lead, taking ideas and turning them into clear, high-quality visual outputs across campaigns, content, and brand touchpoints.

A key part of the role is not just delivering assets, but helping us move from one-off design work toward a more scalable system — through templates, reusable assets, and consistent visual patterns.

You’ll also play an important role in bringing the brand to life beyond digital — owning how swag is designed, produced, and delivered across campaigns and events, and helping build simple, reliable systems that ensure quality, consistency, and readiness at scale.

Outcomes

• We consistently ship high-quality, on-brand creative across campaigns, content, and community
• Design is no longer a bottleneck for marketing delivery
• We are building a growing library of reusable assets (templates, illustrations, components)
• The OfferZen brand feels consistent, distinct, and recognisable across all touchpoints
• The team is empowered with templates and tools to self-serve where appropriate
• OfferZen Swag is high-quality, on-brand, and event-ready at all times, supported by efficient systems for inventory, ordering, and cost control

Responsibilities

Design and deliver high-quality visual assets across a range of marketing needs:

• Ad creatives for paid campaigns
• Campaign collateral (banners, landing visuals, email assets)
• Blog, report, and social media creatives
• Sales and internal enablement materials
• Event and community assets
• Swag (t-shirts, stickers, print materials, etc.)

Contribute to improving how we design over time:

• Create and maintain templates to reduce from-scratch work
• Support the development of our illustration and asset library (e.g. dinocorn system)
• Apply and maintain consistency across all outputs
• Iterate on feedback and continuously improve the quality and impact of designs

Own the swag system:

• Manage swag ordering end-to-end (quotes, suppliers, approvals, timelines)
• Maintain accurate swag inventory and run regular stock takes with help of our office manager
• Ensure swag is shipped on time events, campaigns, and candidate placements with the help of our office manager
• Ensure all events are fully prepared with the right swag, in the right quantities, on time
• Identify opportunities to simplify and standardise the swag system (cost effective options, reusable designs, better processes)

What will make you a good fit

We’re looking for someone with strong design fundamentals who wants to grow into a more senior designer or marketer over time.

Core requirements:

• 2-3 years experience in graphic design
• A strong portfolio that demonstrates layout, typography, illustration and visual clarity
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
• Capable illustrator, able to generate on brand assets
• Comfortable designing across multiple formats (digital and print)
• Super organised, proactive and detail-orientated 

Nice to have:

• Experience designing for marketing or brand 
• Exposure to templates or design system
• Familiarity with Figma or similar tools
• Ability to animate / create motion graphics
• Basic knowledge of AI implementation in design workflows

How you work

• You care about clarity and craft, not just aesthetics
• You’re comfortable working from briefs and iterating on feedback
• You have strong attention to detail and take pride in polished output
• You’re proactive and look for ways to improve how things are done
• You’re curious and invested in growing your skills over time

Your Role at impact.com:

impact.com's Analytics Data Platform processes terabyte-scale data for one of the world's leading partnership SaaS platforms, covering the full lifecycle from ingestion to governed access.

We're looking for a technical people leader to own and grow the Data Platform Engineering team, while driving the architecture, reliability, and evolution of impact.com's Analytics Data Platform. This is a senior player-coach role: you'll combine hands-on technical leadership with direct people management, building a high-performing team, owning delivery, and shaping platform strategy. Expect to spend roughly 40% hands-on and 60% on leadership, people, and delivery, shifting as the team matures. You'll be accountable for both the team's output and its people, ensuring engineers are supported, challenged, and growing.

As Team Lead for Data Platform Engineering, you'll work across the full data ecosystem (ingestion, processing, storage, orchestration, access, and governance) using technologies like Scala, Python, Google Cloud Dataproc, BigQuery, and Airflow. You'll shape the operating model for the team, establish engineering standards, and drive platform strategy. This role is levelled at Senior/Staff Engineer on the engineering management track and reports to the Director of Advanced Analytics. The position is based in Cape Town, hybrid, with one day per week in office.

Data Platform Engineering is one of four sub-teams within the Data Analytics Group (DAG). DPE owns ingestion, infrastructure, orchestration, and platform services. Analytics Engineering owns the dbt transformation layer and semantic layer. Data Analytics owns reporting and insights. Data Product Management owns product roadmaps and governance processes. You'll partner closely with all three, but won't own dbt models, reporting, or product prioritisation directly.

Our ideal candidate combines distributed systems expertise with proven people leadership. Someone who can make architecture decisions, run a team, and translate platform trade-offs into business language. This role is for someone who wants to build both a platform and a team, not just maintain what exists.

What you'll inherit:

The platform has strong foundations: Scala/Spark pipelines processing TB-scale data, 37+ Fivetran connectors, Airflow on Astronomer for orchestration, a mature dbt-based transformation layer, and BigQuery as the core analytical warehouse. Databricks is part of the current stack but is being transitioned off in favour of Dataproc and BigQuery-native patterns. What's greenfield: governance frameworks, data contracts, SLOs/SLAs, observability, cost management, and data quality monitoring. You'll build the team that delivers on these opportunities.

What you'll do:

• Build and run a team of data platform engineers: set direction, remove blockers, give honest feedback, and make sure people are growing in their careers.
• Create an environment where engineers do their best work: high trust, high standards, low friction.
• Turn platform strategy into a delivery plan the team can actually execute: sequence the work, balance new builds against keeping the lights on, and make the trade-offs visible.
• Own capacity and priorities across the team. Keep cross-team dependencies from becoming bottlenecks.
• Lead platform architecture decisions, design reviews, and cross-org technical coordination, defining and promoting architectural patterns, standards, and guidelines.
• Design and implement scalable pipelines using Scala, Python, and distributed frameworks (Spark on Dataproc) processing TB-scale data. Lead the migration off Databricks onto Dataproc and BigQuery-native patterns.
• Establish platform reliability practices: define SLOs/SLAs, build incident management and response processes, and drive systemic improvements across pipeline and infrastructure operations.
• Design and maintain core platform services (Dataproc clusters, BigQuery datasets, Cloud Storage) and optimise platform performance and cost at scale.
• Build and operationalise data governance, security, and compliance capabilities, including data contracts, access controls, and audit logging. Many of these practices are greenfield; you will be building them from scratch.
• Define and evolve team rituals, operating cadences, and engineering standards: code review norms, documentation practices, on-call fairness, and knowledge sharing.
• Represent the team to senior leadership and act as the single point of accountability for the team's commitments to cross-functional partners (analytics engineering, data analytics, product, finance).

About impact.com

From affiliates and influencers to content publishers, brand ambassadors, and customer advocates, impact.com empowers brands to drive trusted, performance-based growth through authentic relationships. Its award-winning products—Performance (affiliate), Creator (influencer), and Advocate (customer referral)—unify every type of partner into one integrated platform. As consumers increasingly rely on recommendations from people and communities they trust, impact.com helps brands show up where it matters most. Today, over 5,000 global brands, including Walmart, Uber, Shopify, Lenovo, L’Oréal, and Fanatics, rely on impact.com to power more than 225,000 partnerships that deliver measurable business results.

Your Role at impact.com:

Reporting to the Manager of Customer Operations Systems, the Systems Analyst is the operational backbone of our Customer Operations technology stack. You will own the day-to-day health, configuration, and continuous improvement of the systems that power how we work - most critically our FreshWorks implementation (FreshDesk for ticketing, FreshChat for chat), which supports Support, Success, Compliance, Renewals, Onboarding, and many other teams across impact.com.

This is not a "configure it and walk away" role. Our FreshDesk environment is large, complex, and deeply integrated into our business operations. It serves many teams with distinct workflows, automations, routing rules, SLA configurations, and reporting needs. You will own all of it - ensuring it runs cleanly, scales as the business evolves, and gets simpler over time, not more convoluted.

You will spend your time across three types of work:

1. Systems administration and optimization. You own FreshDesk and FreshChat configuration end-to-end: workflows, automations, groups, fields, rules, integrations, and everything in between. You are constantly looking for ways to simplify, automate, and eliminate manual workarounds. You inherited complexity; your job is to leave behind clarity.
2. Cross-functional process design. You are a business process partner. You work with stakeholders across the company to understand their operational needs, gather requirements, align competing priorities, and design solutions within our tooling. A significant portion of your time will be spent in conversations: understanding what teams actually need, translating that into system design, and getting stakeholder buy-in before you build.
3. Data partnership. The data in our systems powers reporting, dashboards, and AI tools downstream. You play a critical role in ensuring that data is clean, well-structured, and reliable. You partner with our Data team to map and describe data, identify quality issues at the source, and make changes in FreshDesk that improve the integrity of everything built on top of it.
   
   

This role is for someone who is equal parts meticulous and practical. You are the person who notices that a workflow has five unnecessary steps, who asks "why do we have 47 ticket categories when we use 12 of them," and whom it bothers when a process doesn’t match the reality of how people actually work. You are deeply organized, allergic to unnecessary complexity, and energized by the satisfaction of a system that just works.

If you are that person - if you get genuine joy from turning operational chaos into clean, automated systems - this is the role for you.

What You'll Do:

• Systems Administration Expertise: Deep, hands-on administrative experience with enterprise ticketing and chat systems. You must be highly capable of managing complex rules, groups, automations, and workflows within platforms like FreshDesk. You've managed a system at scale - not a simple setup, but one with multiple teams, overlapping workflows, and constant change.
• Business Process Design: Proven ability to analyze complex operational processes, identify inefficiencies, and design streamlined solutions. You don't just configure what people ask for - you push back, simplify, and propose better approaches. You understand that the best system design starts with understanding the business problem, not the tool.
• Cross-Functional Stakeholder Management: Strong experience gathering requirements from multiple teams with competing priorities and translating them into coherent system design. You are comfortable pushing back on senior stakeholders when a request would add unnecessary complexity, and you know how to find the solution that serves multiple teams without creating a mess.
• Data Fluency: Proficiency in SQL and a strong understanding of data structures. You can look at a FreshDesk data export and immediately spot quality issues. You understand how system configuration decisions affect downstream reporting and analysis, and you design with data integrity in mind.
• Technical Fluency: Strong working knowledge of APIs (REST). You should be comfortable discussing endpoint design with vendors and internal engineering teams, understanding integration architecture, and troubleshooting data flow issues between systems. Basic scripting ability (JavaScript, Python) is a plus but not required.
• Documentation & Communication: You can clearly document system configurations, process designs, and data mappings so that your work is understandable and maintainable by others. You can explain complex system behavior to non-technical stakeholders in terms they understand.
• Operational Rigor: You are relentlessly organized. You track changes, maintain configuration documentation, and don't make changes to production systems without understanding the downstream impact. You have a healthy respect for the blast radius of a misconfigured automation rule.

What You Bring:

• Specific, deep expertise managing FreshDesk (or Zendesk) at enterprise scale with multiple teams and complex workflows.
• Experience working within a Customer Operations, Customer Success, or Support organization.
• Direct experience integrating ticketing systems with Salesforce, Jira, or product platforms.
• Familiarity with AI tools and how they interact with operational systems - you don't need to build AI, but understanding how clean data and well-designed processes feed into AI systems is increasingly important in this role.
• Experience with knowledge management tooling and processes - designing how knowledge is structured, maintained, and surfaced to teams.
• A track record of inheriting messy, complex system environments and making them simpler.

Benefits and Perks:

At impact.com, we believe that when you’re happy and fulfilled, you do your best work. That’s why we’ve built a benefits package that supports your well-being, growth, and work-life balance.

• Flexible Working: Our Responsible PTO policy means you can take the time off you need to rest and recharge. We're committed to a positive work-life balance and provide a flexible environment that allows you to be happy and fulfilled in both your career and your personal life.
• Health and Wellness: Your well-being is a priority. Our mental health and wellness benefit includes up to 12 fully covered therapy/coaching sessions per year, with additional dependent coverage. We also offer a monthly gym reimbursement policy to support your physical health.
• A Stake in Our Growth: We offer Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) as part of our total compensation, giving you a stake in the company's growth with a 3-year vesting schedule, pending Board approval.
• Investing in Your Growth: We’re committed to your continuous learning. Take advantage of our free Coursera subscription and our PXA courses.

Your Role at impact.com:

Reporting to the Manager of Customer Operations Systems, the Internal Systems Engineer (Applied AI) is a specialized, high-impact builder role dedicated to supercharging our Customer Operations teams (Support, Success, Onboarding, Implementation).

This is a highly practical, application-focused engineering position instrumental to our AI transformation. You will spend your time across three types of work:

1. Building AI-powered tools and agents. You will integrate applied AI into our workflows using modern frameworks. You will consult with business stakeholders to help explain the art of the possible, guide them in defining logic and prompts, and own building and maintaining agentic workflows and tools. Example projects include building an AI-powered QA and training tool with a RAG component for new support agents, architecting agentic workflows for our onboarding team, or building a FreshDesk integration that suggests draft responses to tickets.
2. Building and maintaining a shared agent platform. This is what makes AI scale beyond our team. You will build and maintain the templates, approved patterns, and deployment infrastructure that enable people across Customer Operations to build their own agents without needing to figure out hosting, monitoring, or API connectivity themselves. When a Technical Services lead wants to build an agent that automates "pixel not firing" investigations, they should be able to do it on your platform without writing a deployment script. You own making self-serve actually work.
3. Building robust internal software, integrations, and automations - such as developing custom FreshDesk widgets to support our agents. You will own the full lifecycle of these apps: building, hosting, monitoring, maintaining, and eventually retiring them when they're no longer needed.

Many job descriptions define themselves as "critical" or "pivotal." This role genuinely is. impact.com has thousands of clients, millions of partners, endless data, and complex multi-system processes. As a business, we are ensuring we are on the cutting edge - aggressively automating and scaling up what we do with AI. This role owns a substantial portion of that transformation for a critical part of our business.

A note on how you'll work with others: when someone across Customer Operations builds a pilot that proves value, you don't take it over. You partner with them to elevate it - bringing engineering rigor, production infrastructure, and scale while they maintain creative control and ongoing input. When someone has a great idea but isn't technical enough to build it themselves, your first instinct is to build it with them, growing their skills in the process. You're an accelerator, not a bottleneck.

This role is for the person who embodies the overlap of curiosity, process-obsession, and action orientation. It is for the passionate tinkerer who also gets carried away exploring custom Salesforce structures and data flows. It is for the person who has been building agentic workflows to manage their household tasks in their free time because they can't stop playing with the new tools AI offers.

If you are that person - if you are a highly motivated, thoughtful builder - and you want to leverage applied AI on a daily basis, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do:

• Software Development Foundation: Proven experience building, hosting, and maintaining applications and tools. You are comfortable writing clean, functional code (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, etc.) to solve operational problems. You understand what it means to keep something running in production, not just get it working once.
• API & Integration Expertise: Deep experience working with REST APIs. You can easily build connectors between distinct SaaS platforms to automate data flows and trigger actions.
• Applied AI Engineering: Hands-on experience with LLM orchestration frameworks (like LangChain or LangGraph). You understand MCPs, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, DAG vs linear flows, engineering HITL systems, and have built real-world systems using these rails.
• AI Evaluation & Quality: Experience setting up and running evals for LLM outputs. You know how to build systems that grade, evaluate, and test AI responses for accuracy and safety (e.g., LLM-as-a-judge). You understand CI/CD for AI systems and can build regression testing pipelines.
• Platform Thinking: You don't just build one-off tools - you think about how to make your work reusable. You can design templates, abstractions, and deployment patterns that other people (including non-engineers) can use to build on top of what you've created.
• Systems Thinking & Process Orientation: You don't write code in a vacuum; you map out complex operational workflows before you start building. You have a knack for seeing how different tools, teams, and data flows interact, ensuring your solutions address the actual problem without creating downstream issues.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ability to work closely with non-technical business stakeholders. You can take a process flow and prompt designs from a business leader and turn them into a functioning, hosted application. Equally important: you can teach - walking a non-technical person through building their first agent is as valuable as building it yourself.
• Autonomous Builder: You are a self-starter who thrives in an agile environment. You don't need excessive hand-holding to figure out how to host a script or deploy a small internal app.
• Relentless Tinkerer: You were the first person in your current role to start building agents. You have had personal subscriptions to Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.

What You Bring:

• Experience building custom apps or integrations specifically for Freshdesk (or similar enterprise ticketing systems like Zendesk/Jira).
• Background working in or building tools for Customer Support, Customer Success, or Onboarding teams.
• Experience integrating with knowledge base platforms (like Gitbook or similar documentation sites).
• Proven experience taking automation projects from concept to deployment within a large, complex organization.
• Experience building internal platforms or developer tools that other teams use to self-serve.
• Experience with monitoring and observability for AI systems in production.

Benefits and Perks:

At impact.com, we believe that when you’re happy and fulfilled, you do your best work. That’s why we’ve built a benefits package that supports your well-being, growth, and work-life balance.

• Flexible Working: Our Responsible PTO policy means you can take the time off you need to rest and recharge. We're committed to a positive work-life balance and provide a flexible environment that allows you to be happy and fulfilled in both your career and your personal life.
