Our purpose is deeply personal, we provide a lifeline and deliver opportunities to cross-border communities that need it most through cutting edge finance and tech.\nZepz is the power behind WorldRemit and Sendwave, driven by the mission to celebrate the incredible impact migrants have, both at home and abroad. We're not just moving money; we're building a world that truly recognizes and supports global connections.\nWho You'll Be Joining\nWe look for mission-driven builders who thrive in a fast-paced environment connected to a true purpose. We’re an always developing team of experts that enjoy problem solving and bring clarity to tough challenges. At Zepz, we are Relentless Learners, always seeking feedback, and Responsible Owners, treating company resources like your own. We depend on Transparent Communicators who keep the team aligned through open, honest talk.\nOur Core Commitments - What We Live By\nOur vibrant and truly diverse culture is built on three core commitments, that guide how we work and interact:\nIntegrity: We always do the right thing. It’s simple, but it’s the foundation of everything we build for our customers and each other.\n\nOutcomes: We work for our customers. Their success and prosperity are the results we focus on delivering.\n\nVelocity: We are fast! We maintain high energy levels and make smart decisions quickly, keeping us nimble and ahead of the curve.\n\nThe Team\nYou will join The Web, the engineering team that builds and runs the public WorldRemit and Sendwave websites and the marketing attribution plumbing behind them. The team sits inside our Quotes engineering domain and you will report to an Engineering Manager there. You will work with our marketing team every day, but your home, your standards and your career path are in engineering.\nThe team owns:\nTwo server-rendered Next.js websites backed by Contentful, one for each brand.\nMarketing attribution: the AppsFlyer SDK in the WorldRemit React Native app and the Sendwave native iOS and Android apps, deep linking, and the postbacks that tell ad networks which installs and first transfers came from their campaigns.\nCountry-based content rules, consent gating, and monitoring of attribution coverage by brand and platform.\nAttribution data feeds our marketing spend, customer acquisition cost and retention numbers. When it breaks, the business makes decisions on bad numbers. Fixing and hardening it is a large part of this role.Perks of Joining Our Team\nWe believe in empowering colleagues because we genuinely trust our team. Our culture is founded on this high trust, which naturally encourages the high ownership that drives us to meet our shared high expectations and deliver high performance. While we have all the tools to work remotely, we value the purpose and benefits of in-person connections so we expect our teams to come to the office on a regular basis, and therefore be within a comfortable commutable distance from our Cape Town office. Alongside a great office environment, think unlimited annual leave , great healthcare benefits, and employee discounts. We want you to thrive and focus entirely on making your biggest impact! In turn, we expect you to bring high ownership and commitment to your work. This is a place where we value trust and high performance, and we'll provide the environment and support needed for you to excel.\nWhat you bring to the table:Problem-Solving & Scalability\nYou move beyond quick fixes to build solid, scalable changes that remove recurring issues for good, keeping our systems healthy and stable over the long term.\nTechnical skills\nSeveral years of experience building and running production web applications and services in TypeScript and Node.js.\nStrong experience with a modern React framework that uses server-side rendering. We use Next.js.\nExperience with a headless CMS, or the ability to pick one up fast. We use Contentful.\nSolid grounding in the web platform: HTTP, caching and CDNs, SEO fundamentals, Core Web Vitals and page performance.\nAbility to work with AI coding tools in a safe, structured way.\nAbility to work with the Grafana LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) or similar for debugging and fault finding.\nFamiliar with AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform, GitHub Actions, and ArgoCD.\nTechnical ExecutionYou take pride in writing readable, well-designed, and well-tested software.\nYou make sound architecture decisions and iteratively improve code structure to write clean code.\nYou actively review tech designs and code from others.\nYou improve the monitoring and health of your team's systems.\nCollaboration & LeadershipYou build relationships with other engineering teams and identify collaboration opportunities.\nYou own larger pieces of work, assist with design and technical choices, and influence the roadmap within your team.\nYou communicate easily with non-technical team members, and can translate their feedback into working software.\nYou have experience working in a cross-functional team.\nYou adjust quickly and effectively to shifting priorities and complexity.\nYou are able to disagree but fully commit once a collective decision has been made.\nYou readily own up to mistakes and take accountability.\nCustomer ObsessionWe care about customers and want to give them an improved, simpler experience.\nYou are more of a \"get it done\" than a \"perfectionist\" type person. You value getting features into the hands of our users.\nYou aren't afraid to throw away code you wrote, because after testing, a flow you built doesn't work as well as a different one.\n A big plus if you haveMobile experience in React Native, Swift or Kotlin, in particular integrating third-party SDKs (attribution, analytics, payments), deep links, or App Store and Play Store attribution such as SKAdNetwork.\nHands-on work with attribution or marketing analytics plumbing: AppsFlyer or a similar mobile measurement partner, Meta or Google ad-network postbacks, tag management, consent management platforms.\nBackend experience in Java, Kotlin, Spring or Python. Our wider platform runs on these and you will work alongside teams that own it.\nExperience working with marketing teams inside a financial services or FinTech organisation.\nExperience working within a start-up or scale-up environment.\nIf you want to join us in our journey to help break barriers in financial access and improve lives globally, there's no better place or time to join.AI Literacy & Tools\nAs Zepz continues to build AI into how we work, we expect everyone to engage with it as a core part of their role. For this position we are looking for:\nA genuine curiosity about AI and how it can be applied in your area of work - from accelerating analysis and insight generation, to improving how we design and deliver processes and communications.\nPractical experience using AI tools in a professional context - whether to connect information, draft content, build frameworks, or create insights from data. We want people who actively use AI to increase productivity, not those who are waiting to be told to.\nStrong AI literacy - an understanding of what AI assistants can and cannot do, how to prompt effectively, and how to critically evaluate AI-generated output before using it.\nAwareness of the ethical considerations and responsible use of AI in the workplace, particularly in the context of sensitive data, customer experience, and compliance.\nPrior experience using Claude (Anthropic) is a nice-to-have but not essential - what matters most is that you are genuinely engaged with AI as a tool, comfortable experimenting, and eager to share what works with your wider team.\nIf you want to join us in our journey to help break barriers in financial access and improve lives globally, there's no better place or time to join.\nOur global team of 800+ people is spread across six continents. We aspire to hire the best mix of people from former Olympians to YouTube influencers and we speak over twenty languages. This incredible diversity isn't a bonus; it's the engine that lets us serve the world.\nReady to Apply?
