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.

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.

About the team:

The Platform SRE team at Luno owns the full infrastructure stack - from Kubernetes and AWS through to CI/CD, observability, networking, and developer tooling. We work with high autonomy, balancing business initiatives, platform improvements, and the reliability work that keeps a global financial platform running.

The role in a nutshell:

As a Staff SRE at Luno, you are providing technical expertise and oversight for reliability and scalability across our cloud estate. Joining a high-impact team, you will help shape the future of our platform while partnering with teams throughout the engineering organisation to scale reliability and accelerate delivery.

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

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.

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.

This position reports to the Group Executive: Public Policy & External Affairs

Role Purpose

The Regulatory Economist and Data Lead is responsible for transforming Takealot Group’s extensive operational and commercial data into credible policy evidence. The role ensures that all public policy positions are underpinned by robust quantitative analysis, allowing the Group to strengthen its proof points in engagements with government, regulators, Parliamentarian, and the media.

This role sits at the intersection of data science, economics, and public policy, converting internal “big data” into externally persuasive narratives that withstand scrutiny from regulators, economists, and civil society.

Strategic Accountabilities

Economic Impact Modelling & Quantification

Design, build, and maintain dynamic economic impact models that quantify Takealot Group’s contribution, but not limited, to:

• SME growth and marketplace seller revenues.
• Driver and courier earnings, cost structures, and net take-home pay.
• Regional and last-mile logistics infrastructure investment.
• Tax contributions, including VAT, customs duties, and indirect fiscal impacts

Ensure models are:

• Methodologically sound and replicable.
• Regularly updated with live or near-real-time data.
• Able to produce scenario analysis for policy “what-if” questions.

Translate outputs into regulator-ready metrics that align with government policy priorities (jobs, inclusion, growth, industrialisation).

Horizon Scanning, Monitoring & Early Warning

Conduct daily monitoring of:

• Government Gazette notices and draft regulations.
• Hansard (Parliamentary debates, questions, committee discussions).
• Political and economic commentary relevant to digital markets, labour, logistics, and trade.

Deploy AI-enabled monitoring tools to systematically flag emerging references to:

• E-commerce and digital platforms
• Gig and platform work
• Postal services, logistics, and last-mile delivery
• Digital taxation, customs, and cross-border trade

Synthesize signals into Early Warning Alerts, highlighting:

• Direction of regulatory intent
• Likely policy timelines
• Data gaps that need urgent modelling or research

Competitive & Comparative Policy Intelligence

• Track and analyse regulatory and policy developments affecting the platform economy, in South Africa or comparable markets.
• Monitor international regulatory frameworks and case law (e.g. EU Digital Markets Act, platform labour rulings, OECD digital tax discussions).
• Identify global precedents and data points that can be adapted to strengthen Takealot’s local policy positions.
• Provide comparative benchmarking to support submissions, briefing notes, and stakeholder engagements.

Fact-Sheet & Evidence Pack Production

Build and maintain a central Policy Statistics Library, consisting of:

• Pre-approved data points
• Executive-ready charts and infographics
• One-page “leave-behind” factsheets for Ministerial, Parliamentary, and media engagements

Ensure all outputs are:

• Internally consistent and quality-assured.
• Clearly sourced and methodologically transparent.
• Tailored to non-technical audiences without loss of credibility.

Refresh core factsheets regularly to reflect updated data and evolving policy narratives.

Targeted Research & Deep-Dive Analysis

Conduct structured research on specific policy questions as required, such as:

• The impact of fuel levy increases on gig worker earnings
• Employment elasticity under different regulatory scenarios
• Cost-pass-through effects of customs or VAT changes on consumer prices

Support the division in preparing:

• Regulatory submissions.
• Parliamentary briefing notes.
• External consultant terms of reference.

Where appropriate, collaborate with external economists and research institutions to validate assumptions or methodologies.

Data Governance, Credibility & Risk Management

Ensure that all externally used data is:

• Accurate, up to date, and internally auditable
• Cleared for public use in coordination with Legal and Risk

Maintain documentation of assumptions, methodologies, and data sources to defend against challenge or rebuttal.

Act as the department’s first line of defence against reputational risk arising from data misuse or misinterpretation.

Requirements:

• Honour’s degree in Economics, Statistics, Data Science, or related quantitative field
• Masters qualification in Economics or Public Policy (advantageous)

Experience:

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.

Qualifications

Required

• 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.

About the Role

We're seeking a Senior Data Scientist specializing in Product Data Quality to join our Cape Town Data Science team. In this role, you'll own the analytical and technical foundation of product data quality across our ecosystem—spanning catalog hygiene, transaction matching, classification modeling, deduplication, and global product identity. You'll work across both the structured catalog universe and the messier, larger-scale sales transaction universe, building models and infrastructure that power search, recommendations, and business intelligence. This is a high-impact role that demands both analytical depth and strong engineering capabilities: you'll take models from research to production, build scalable data pipelines, and create the monitoring infrastructure that makes our product data foundation trustworthy and continuously improving. Your work will directly influence search relevance, recommendation quality, match rates, and reporting accuracy across the business.

Core Responsibilities

Product classification & taxonomy modeling

• Develop, deploy, and maintain ML models for automated product categorization and taxonomy assignment across hierarchical category structures.
• Improve classification accuracy through feature engineering (text, attributes, embeddings), model iteration, and robust evaluation on both catalog and sales transaction data.
• Monitor production model performance; identify and remediate misclassification patterns that impact search, recommendations, and reporting.
• Collaborate with category experts and Product teams to refine taxonomy definitions, handle edge cases, and adapt to new product types.

Catalog & sales universe data quality

• Conduct deep-dive analyses into catalog completeness, consistency, and correctness across retailers, categories, and product attributes.
• Own data quality analytics for the sales transaction universe—a larger, messier dataset than catalog—measuring match rates, diagnosing gaps (unmatched transactions, misattributed products), and identifying systematic failures.
• Define and track catalog and transaction health KPIs (attribute coverage, schema compliance, match rates, GPID coverage, freshness); identify root causes and drive remediation.
• Build monitoring systems and dashboards to track data quality trends across retailers, categories, and time periods.

Global Product ID (GPID) coverage & matching

• Assess GPID (GTIN/UPC/EAN) coverage and accuracy across both catalog and sales transaction data; identify gaps by category, retailer, and brand.
• Build and improve matching algorithms to link sales transactions to catalog products, handling missing GPIDs, naming inconsistencies, and category misclassification.
• Quantify the impact of GPID enrichment and matching improvements on search, deduplication, and reporting accuracy.
• Partner with external data providers and brands to improve GPID coverage and resolve identifier conflicts.

Deduplication & entity resolution

• Identify product variants (size, color, packaging) and duplicates within and across retailer catalogs using clustering, entity resolution, embeddings, and similarity-based techniques.
• Build scalable deduplication pipelines that handle catalog and transaction data at scale; define patterns, heuristics, and ML-based approaches for variant grouping.
• Measure the impact of deduplication on search quality, recommendation accuracy, and reporting; iterate on models to reduce false positives and improve precision.
• Support Data Engineering and Platform teams in productionizing deduplication and entity linking infrastructure.

Manufacturer data quality & brand engagement

• Evaluate the consistency and accuracy of manufacturer-level attributes (brand name, MPN, manufacturer identifiers) across catalogs and transactions.
• Detect systemic issues at the brand and retailer level; build scorecards and engage brands (via the Tiger Team) to drive data quality improvements.
• Create feedback loops to measure manufacturer data quality and track progress on remediation initiatives.

Product search & retrieval infrastructure

• Research and prototype improvements to product search and retrieval pipelines, including vector search, semantic similarity, and embedding-based matching.
• Explore and implement vector database infrastructure (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate) to support fast, scalable product retrieval and similarity search.
• Contribute to the design and optimization of retrieval pipelines that combine text, attributes, and embeddings for search and recommendations.
• Evaluate search relevance and ranking quality; iterate on indexing strategies, query preprocessing, and re-ranking models.

Product graph & relational modeling

• Build and maintain product graph infrastructure that captures relationships between products, variants, brands, categories, retailers, and transactions.
• Use graph-based techniques (community detection, link analysis, centrality) to identify product families, detect duplicates, and surface insights on product hierarchies.
• Partner with Data Platform teams to design scalable graph storage and query patterns (e.g., Neo4j, graph extensions in BigQuery).

Insights, monitoring & reporting

• Systematically identify, classify, and prioritize product data quality issues; create clear summaries, visualizations, and actionable recommendations for stakeholders.
• Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reports for key product data KPIs (match rates, GPID coverage, duplicate rates, classification accuracy, attribute completeness).
• Establish alerting and anomaly detection systems to proactively surface data quality degradation and model performance issues.

Engineering & production deployment

• Take models and analytics prototypes from POC to production, with or without engineering partnership—owning deployment, testing, monitoring, and iteration.
• Build robust, scalable data pipelines and ML workflows using production-grade tools and best practices (versioning, CI/CD, testing, observability).
• Collaborate with MLOps and Data Engineering teams to ensure production readiness: reliability, latency, drift monitoring, and SLOs.

Qualifications

Required

• Experience: 5+ years in data science, ML engineering, or analytics engineering, with at least 2+ years focused on product data, catalog quality, entity resolution, search/retrieval, or e-commerce/marketplace analytics.
• Engineering strength: Proven ability to build production-grade data pipelines and deploy ML models independently; strong software engineering fundamentals (code quality, testing, version control, CI/CD).
• Data quality expertise: Demonstrated experience analyzing and improving large-scale structured data quality (completeness, consistency, accuracy, deduplication, entity resolution).
• ML & classification experience: Track record building and deploying classification models, ranking systems, or search/retrieval pipelines in production.
• Technical skills:
• Strong Python and SQL; proficiency with ML libraries (scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, PyTorch/TensorFlow) and data manipulation tools (pandas, PySpark).
• Experience with entity resolution, fuzzy matching, clustering, embeddings, and similarity-based techniques (Levenshtein distance, cosine similarity, nearest-neighbor search).
• Familiarity with production ML workflows (model versioning, monitoring, evaluation, retraining, A/B testing).
• Experience with data profiling, anomaly detection, and exploratory analysis at scale.
• Analytical rigor: Strong foundation in statistics and ML; ability to design experiments, validate models, interpret results, and communicate insights with business context.
• Stakeholder collaboration: Experience working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and business teams; ability to translate technical work into actionable recommendations.
• Education: Bachelor's in a quantitative field (CS, Statistics, Math, Engineering, or similar); Master's/PhD preferred.

Preferred / Nice to have

• Experience with vector search and embeddings (sentence transformers, OpenAI embeddings, BERT-based models) and vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, pgvector).
• Familiarity with search and retrieval systems (Elasticsearch, Solr, semantic search, BM25, hybrid ranking) and understanding how data quality impacts relevance.
• Experience with graph databases and graph analytics (Neo4j, NetworkX, graph algorithms for clustering and link prediction).
• Knowledge of NLP techniques for product data (text classification, named entity recognition, attribute extraction, title/description parsing, semantic similarity).
• Experience with multimodal modeling (combining text, images, and structured attributes for classification or retrieval).
• Familiarity with global product identifiers (GTIN/UPC/EAN, MPN, SKU hierarchies) and standards organizations (GS1, GDSN).
• Experience with deduplication and record linkage at scale (blocking strategies, probabilistic matching, hierarchical clustering).
• Familiarity with GCP tools (BigQuery, Vertex AI, Dataflow, Cloud Run, Looker) and/or Databricks/Spark for large-scale processing and deployment.
• Exposure to master data management (MDM) or data governance practices in product or catalog contexts.
• Experience with recommendation systems or understanding how product data quality impacts personalization and ranking.

What sets you apart

• Product data obsession: You care deeply about data quality and understand how poor catalog hygiene cascades into user experience, business reporting, and operational inefficiencies.
• Engineering mindset: You don't just build prototypes—you ship them. You write clean, tested, production-ready code and can own the full lifecycle from research to deployment.
• Detective instincts: You love digging into messy data, finding patterns, and uncovering root causes—whether it's a systematic retailer issue, a subtle duplicate cluster, or a classification edge case.
• Pragmatic prioritization: You balance comprehensiveness with impact, focusing on the 20% of issues that drive 80% of quality problems and business value.
• Search & retrieval intuition: You understand how product data powers search and recommendations, and you know how to build infrastructure (embeddings, vector DBs, graphs) that makes these systems work at scale.
• Stakeholder fluency: You translate messy data findings into clear, actionable recommendations and build trust with brands, retailers, Product, and Engineering teams.
• Comfort with ambiguity: You thrive in evolving data ecosystems, defining your own quality metrics and technical roadmaps when the problem space is still being shaped.

Your Role at impact.com:

We’re a team in a fast-growing SaaS scale-up on a mission to make self-service Products, Plans, Subscriptions, and Billing seamless - for clients as well as our sales and account management departments. This is the heart of our business: enabling customers to purchase and upgrade plans independently, while ensuring billing is fully automated, accurate, and scalable.

This is a high-impact role. The systems you design and build will directly power our revenue growth, unlock new business models, and shape the backbone of how we operate.

What You'll Do:

• Take ownership of large, complex problems and design simple, elegant solutions.
• Work with stakeholders across product management, sales, and operations to deeply understand business needs — then deliver technology that meets them.
• Shape our architectural journey: from legacy monolith to modular monolith and event-driven systems, always with pragmatism and best practice.
• Champion domain-driven design (strategic & tactical), hexagonal architecture, test-driven development, and clean code.
• Mentor and guide less experienced engineers, helping the team level up.
• Continuously improve how we work, experimenting with new ideas and raising the bar.

What You Bring:

• BSc in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 7+ years' experience in software development
• Deep foundations in computer science and software engineering (algorithms and data structures, distributed computing, large system design, agile approaches etc.).
• Strong grasp of domain-driven design (strategic & tactical).
• Experience with hexagonal / ports-and-adapters architecture.
• Solid experience with object-oriented and functional programming.
• Passion for simple, clean and readable code.
• Understanding of, and appreciation for, test-driven development.
• Experience designing or working with event-driven architectures.
• A solid understanding of agile and iterative development approaches.
• Grasp of team organisation and dynamics (Conway’s Law, Team Topologies etc.).
• Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex systems clearly.
• A natural mentor who enjoys helping others grow.
• A true team player — you enjoy close collaboration, value collective code ownership, and believe the best solutions come from working openly with colleagues across disciplines.
• Above all: someone who actively seeks out better ways of building, delivering, and operating software, and isn’t satisfied with “the way things have always been done.”

Our stack:

• Backend: Java / Spring
• Persistence: MySQL
• Frontend: Vue.js (though deep frontend expertise is not required)
• Architecture: Modular Monolith (evolving from legacy monolith), Hexagonal Architecture, Domain-Driven Design, Event-Driven Systems

Our methodologies:

We strive for continuous improvement and use proven engineering practices:

• Domain-Driven Design (strategic & tactical)
• Trunk-Based Development & Continuous Integration
• Continuous Delivery and frequent production deployments
• Agile development
• Test-Driven Development – when and where it makes sense
• Clean code and knowledge sharing

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.
