Intermediate Software Engineer

I’m currently assisting a rapidly growing fintech team in their search for a Mid-Level Software Engineer to help build next-generation payment solutions. This is a full-time opportunity to work on impactful financial technology products in a collaborative, agile-first environment.

The team is distributed globally, but they’re especially keen to connect with candidates based in or near Cape Town, South Africa.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Designing and developing robust software solutions across a modern fintech platform.
• Taking ownership of key features from concept to deployment.
• Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to technical leadership.
• Collaborating with product managers and stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable systems.
• Participating in architectural discussions and driving improvements in engineering practices.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• 3-6 years of software development experience.
• Strong proficiency in Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python.
• Experience with RESTful APIs, PostgreSQL, and cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and microservices.
• Passion for clean code, secure development, and scalable systems.

Tech Environment Includes: React, React Native, Python, Java, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, GCP, Terraform, Docker, GitHub, and more.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Work on high-impact fintech products with global reach.
• Join a team that values mentorship, autonomy, and career growth.
• Flexible working arrangements with potential support for relocation or shared accommodation in Cape Town.
• Clear career progression in a fast-moving, well-supported environment.

If you’re passionate about fintech and looking to grow your career in a dynamic, forward-thinking team, I’d be happy to share more details and guide you through the next step
