Bash is TFG's e-commerce and omnichannel platform, powering multi-brand storefronts across one of South Africa's largest retail groups. We handle high-traffic, high-stakes transactional workloads where performance directly impacts conversion and revenue. Our stack is built on Next.js, React, and Node.js (Client APIs), with frontend workloads deployed at the edge via Cloudflare

We're hiring a Senior Web Engineer to own the technical direction of our web platform. This isn't a "write features and ship tickets" role. You'll shape how we build, set the standards others follow, and make architectural decisions that compound across multiple storefronts and brands.

What you'll own

• Frontend platform strategy: rendering architecture (SSR/SSG/ISR trade-offs), build pipeline performance, framework upgrades, and the technical roadmap for our web surfaces.
• Architectural standards: patterns for our Client API layer, data fetching strategies, state management, and how we structure code across a multi-brand, multi-storefront environment.
• Observability: you believe production is a feature environment. You'll own how we instrument, monitor, and debug our frontend systems (OpenTelemetry, structured logging, real-user monitoring, feature-flagging).
• Technical leadership: mentoring web engineers across the department, representing frontend in cross-functional architecture decisions, and writing the docs and RFCs that change how the team thinks.

You've done this before

• Owned a frontend platform, design system, or significant shared infrastructure at scale, not just contributed to one.
• Made architectural decisions in a high-traffic e-commerce or transactional environment where latency and uptime have direct commercial impact.
• Debugged gnarly production performance issues under pressure — you know your way around flame charts, network waterfalls, and memory profiles.
• Influenced technical direction beyond your immediate team. You've written proposals that changed how engineering orgs operate.
• Shipped code that other engineers build on top of. You think about developer experience as a product.
• Said no to things and been right about it.

What you bring

• Deep Next.js and React expertise: not just usage, but opinions. You understand the rendering model, the trade-offs of different data-fetching patterns, and when the framework is fighting you.
• Performance engineering instinct: you've optimised Critical Rendering Path, reduced bundle sizes, improved INP/LCP/CLS on real production traffic. You measure before you optimise.
• Distributed systems awareness: you understand caching layers, CDN and Cache header behaviour, BFF patterns, and how a frontend request becomes ten backend calls.
• Strong communication: you write clearly, review code thoughtfully, and can explain complex trade-offs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent on frontend-heavy, production-grade systems.

The environment

• Stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js (BFF/Client APIs), Cloudflare (edge workers, DNS, WAF), OpenTelemetry.
• Scale: Multi-brand storefronts across TFG's portfolio. Decisions you make here ripple across brands.
• Location: Cape Town or Johannesburg preferred. We operate as a distributed team within SA.

This probably isn't for you if

• You're looking for a role where the tech choices are already made and you just execute.
• You prefer to work in isolation rather than lifting the engineers around you.
• You think "senior" means years of experience rather than scope of impact.

We ask a few optional demographic questions to monitor fairness in hiring and comply with South Africa’s Employment Equity requirements. Your responses are confidential - stored separately from your application and never shown to hiring panels. We review the data only in aggregate to strengthen our sourcing so pipelines are diverse and all candidates receive equitable support. You can skip any question.

About us:

We believe the next generation of financial services will be powered by stablecoins.

Founded in 2021, our mission at BVNK is to accelerate global money movement.

We’re building stablecoin-native infrastructure so businesses can move value instantly across borders and networks. With global licenses and T1 bank partnerships, we facilitate billions in transactions for enterprise clients like Worldpay, Deel, LianLian Global, and Rapyd.

Our technology is transforming how businesses operate globally by eliminating payment delays, reducing costs, and unlocking trapped capital. 

We’re a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that stablecoins are the new infrastructure layer for financial services, and that BVNK is at the forefront of this shift.

In 2025, we secured strategic investment from Visa, following our $50 million Series B with Haun Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. With the backing of these leading investors, we’re accelerating our growth – and we're looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build the future of financial services.

We're incredibly honored to have made Newsweek's list of The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces three years running (most recently in 2025) and to have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024

About this role in the team:

We are looking for a QA Engineer who views AI as their primary leverage. At BVNK, we aren't just looking for someone to maintain scripts; we want an engineer who views manual, repetitive testing as a problem to be solved with intelligent agents.

You will join a team of Quality Assurance experts responsible for the end-to-end integrity of our Fiat and Crypto products. Your mission is to evolve our testing from "automated" to "autonomous." You will build intelligent testing systems that predict failures, self-heal scripts, and utilize LLMs to bridge the gap between complex financial requirements and bulletproof code.

Key Areas of Responsibilities:

• AI-First Framework Evolution: Architect and maintain automation frameworks that prioritize AI-powered solutions for test generation, execution, and self-healing.
• Autonomous Quality Gates: Implement AI-driven gates in our CI/CD pipeline to predict regression risks before code is even merged.
• Synthetic Data Strategy: Leverage Generative AI to create complex, high-integrity test data sets for diverse global payment scenarios.
• Intelligent Observability: Use AI to analyze logs and system behavior, providing insights that traditional testing tools miss.
• Mentorship & AI Evangelism: Act as the subject matter expert on emerging AI tools (Claude Code, LangChain) to upskill the broader QA team.

What we need from you:

• AI-Native Mindset: You are an early adopter of LLMs and agentic workflows. You don't just use AI to write snippets; you use it to architect solutions.
• Technical Core: Expert-level proficiency in Python (our primary language) and the ability to navigate Java environments.
• Modern Tooling: Hands-on experience with PyTest, Playwright, and K6.
• Engineering for AI: Demonstrated experience implementing AI solutions for test case generation and automated bug triaging.
• Infrastructure Fluency: Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and desire to understand the integration of AI-driven testing into the deployment lifecycle.
• Precision & Speed: Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to move fast in a rapidly evolving FinTech environment.
• Bonus: LLM Integration: Experience building custom GPTs or using LangChain/LangSmith/LangGraf to evaluate LLM-based product features.
• Bonus: FinTech & Crypto: Previous experience in payments, stablecoins, or blockchain technology.
• Bonus: Agentic Testing: Experience experimenting with autonomous agents for exploratory testing.

What you can expect from us:

• Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth
• Meaningful ownership in the business through our employee option scheme
• Flexible working hours, with hybrid working at its heart
• A culture built on passionate growth-minded people
• A flexible approach to holiday
• Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world
• An open and creative environment where you can help us define the future of BVNK, its culture, and its opportunity sets

At BVNK, we are focused on building a diverse and inclusive team. While you may not meet all of our requirements, we’d encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of our expectations. You may be a great fit for this role or another role in our team.

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

• Own squad-level delivery, technical direction, and outcomes (quality, stability, deadlines) across multiple workstreams
• 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

This is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by people assigned to this job. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, skills, efforts, or working conditions associated with the job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

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).
• Own data source integrations and data quality across the platform, including third-party connectors (e.g. Fivetran), custom Scala/Spark ingestion pipelines, dbt orchestration via Airflow and Astronomer Cosmos, and quality monitoring and remediation practices.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 7+ years of experience in data platform engineering, data engineering, or distributed systems, including 2+ years leading engineering teams
• Strong programming skills in Scala and Python, including functional Scala patterns (cats-effect / Typelevel ecosystem), testing, code review, and production-grade engineering practices
• Deep hands-on experience with distributed computing frameworks: Apache Spark (Dataproc) and large-scale data processing. Databricks experience is useful for leading the migration off it
• Expert-level knowledge of cloud-native data platforms and services. Our stack runs on Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Dataproc, Cloud Storage), but equivalent depth on AWS or Azure is equally valued
• Advanced SQL skills including complex query optimisation, partitioning strategies, and performance tuning
• Experience building and scaling engineering teams, not just managing established ones: hiring, running interview loops, onboarding, and growing engineers from junior to senior
• Experience leading cross-team architecture initiatives and establishing platform-wide standards
• Experience with orchestration tools (Airflow, Astronomer, and Astronomer Cosmos for dbt orchestration) and CI/CD pipeline design
• Familiarity with legacy CI/CD tooling (e.g. Jenkins), particularly in the context of pipeline migration and modernisation
• Strong understanding of data governance, security best practices, and compliance requirements
• Experience with infrastructure as code and automated deployment practices
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate technical trade-offs for non-technical stakeholders and represent the team to senior leadership
• Strong people management skills: coaching, mentorship, performance management, and career development
• Experience with monitoring, alerting, observability, and on-call operations for production data systems

Nice to Have:

• Experience in the digital marketing technology or partnership/affiliate industry
• General experience with Google Cloud Platform services beyond the core required stack (e.g. Pub/Sub, BigTable, Cloud Functions); familiarity with Dataflow is a plus but not a current platform requirement (it is under future evaluation)
• Familiarity with streaming technologies such as Apache Kafka and stream processing frameworks
• Experience standing up data quality frameworks and monitoring practices from scratch
• Experience with FinOps or cloud cost management at scale
• Experience migrating off legacy platforms (e.g. Databricks, on-prem Hadoop) to cloud-native alternatives
• Experience with organisational design, team scaling, or building engineering teams from scratch
• Awareness of AI agent architectures and how they connect to data platforms (e.g. MCP, tool-use patterns)
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)

Benefits:

• Hybrid, Casual work environment
• Responsible PTO policy
• Take the time off that you need. We are truly committed to a positive work-life balance, recognising that it is important to be happy and fulfilled in both

• Training & Development
• Learning the advanced partnership automation products
• Medical Aid and Provident Fund 
• Group schemes with Discovery & Bonitas for medical aid
• Group scheme for provident fund
• Restricted Stock Units

About impact.com

impact.com is the world’s leading commerce partnership marketing platform, transforming the way businesses grow by enabling them to discover, manage, and scale partnerships across the entire customer journey. 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 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.
