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.

You will manage and develop a team of security engineers responsible for day-to-day security operations, while also acting as the operational bridge between cybersecurity engineering, infrastructure, SRE, IT, and external partners (including managed or embedded resources). While remaining technically credible, your primary focus will be on operational excellence, incident readiness, process maturity, and ensuring consistent, high-quality execution of security operations at scale.

This role requires strong leadership, sound judgment under pressure, and the ability to translate technical security events into clear risk-based communication for senior stakeholders.

• Collaborate with partner teams to identify gaps in detection, response coverage, and operational readiness, and drive improvements to expand and mature cybersecurity operations coverage.
• Serve as an escalation and advisory point for security-related operational issues, ensuring coordination with the appropriate domain owners (Cloud, Application, Infrastructure, SRE) while maintaining clear accountability.

Security Operations Coverage & Readiness

• Ensure cybersecurity operations maintain effective visibility and response capability across cloud, infrastructure, and application environments, aligned to defined risk and threat models.
• Oversee the integration of logging, telemetry, alerts, and response playbooks into operational tooling (e.g., SIEM, SOAR, EDR), without assuming ownership of underlying platform or application architectures.
• Partner with domain security teams to validate that new systems, services, and changes are adequately covered by operational security monitoring and incident response processes.

Things That Should Be In Your Background:

• 5+ years experience in cybersecurity or security operations, with progression into technical leadership or people management.
• Experience leading or supporting security operations, incident response, or threat management in complex environments.
• Working knowledge of AWS; exposure to GCP or Azure is a plus.
• Comfortable with scripting/automation (e.g., Python, Bash) to guide and review operational improvements.
• Experience partnering on CI/CD and DevSecOps initiatives to ensure security signals feed into detection and response.
• Familiarity with cloud-native and containerised environments and their operational security risks.
• Required: Hands-on experience with SIEM and EDR platforms supporting security monitoring, investigation, and incident response.
• Beneficial: Experience with SOAR workflows and WAF technologies to support security automation and application protection.

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

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.

Why Join Us?

We value engineers who treat code as a craft. You’ll have the autonomy to choose the right tools for the job, the environment of equality and open collaboration, the support to grow professionally, and plenty of tasks to challenge yourself.

Your Role at impact.com:

We are looking for a Senior Node.js Engineer who doesn't just write code but actually enjoys the craft of programming. We need a proactive problem-solver - someone who treats failing code as a captivating puzzle to be solved and fixed before it impacts the user experience.

Our core product relies on a sophisticated ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) engine that pulls data from a dizzying array of external sources.

If you can find fun in reverse-engineering a complex API, building a crawler that can dance around obstacles, or optimizing the pipeline so that it can handle massive volumes you’ll fit right in.

What You'll Do:

• Architect & Build: Develop robust, scalable integrations using Node.js and TypeScript.
• The ETL Engine: Maintain and optimize the core of the ETL engine to ensure resiliency, high throughput and data integrity.
• Data Scavenging: Design and implement crawlers and API consumers that interface with diverse external systems.

• Quality First: Always looking for ways to improve and ensure the quality of our data.
• Mentorship: Lead by example in code reviews and architectural discussions, fostering a culture of technical excellence.

Who You Are:

• Pro-active: You don’t wait for a spec to be 100% perfect if you see a way to make the system better today.
• Tech Obsessed: You actually care about the stack. You follow the latest releases, you have opinions on tools, and you’re always looking for a more efficient way of working.
• Resilient: You understand that in the world of third-party integrations, things are unpredictable and unreliable. You enjoy the challenge of building "self-healing" systems.

What You Bring:

• Language Mastery: Deep expertise in Node.js and TypeScript.
• Data Engineering: Experience building data-processing/streaming processes, handling large datasets, and managing data schema evolution.
• Observability: Good understanding of OpenTelemetry, all types of observability signals and experience working with them.
• Cloud Native: Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) (GKE, KMS, Google Cloud Storage, Secret Manager).
• Testing Rigor: A "test-first" mindset with experience in frameworks like Jest, Vitest and Playwright.
• Collaboration: Good understanding of GitHub workflows (PRs, Actions, Issues)

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.

• Strong extended health benefits: Health & Prescription coverage, vision and dental care, virtual health care, out-of-country medical coverage
• Insurance coverage (life, short-term disability, long-term disability, and more)
• Health Care Spending Account
