About the Role FULLY REMOTE This is an exciting opportunity for a backend-leaning Full-Stack Engineer to join a specialist fintech organisation building cloud-based payment intelligence and AI-enabled data products. You will take meaningful ownership of vertical product changes, working within a high-impact team to turn complex financial data into actionable insights for global financial institutions. Key Responsibilities Deliver end-to-end product changes across data models, Python services, and React interfaces. Build and maintain robust Python\/FastAPI APIs and data-processing workflows for internal and customer-facing products. Develop and manage analytical transformations, schema migrations, and high-precision SQL to ensure data integrity for financial reporting. Create intuitive TypeScript\/React front-end experiences for dashboards, filters, and operational tools. Deploy and troubleshoot cloud services on AWS using infrastructure as code and CI\/CD pipelines. Integrate and oversee AI-backed product capabilities responsibly, ensuring human oversight and rigorous evaluation. Strengthen technical documentation, runbooks, and testing frameworks while communicating technical trade-offs to various stakeholders. Requirements Approximately 3-5 years of professional experience in software engineering with a proven track record of delivering production-ready changes. Strong proficiency in Python and a solid understanding of SQL and data modelling. Competency in TypeScript and React, with the ability to build and debug modern product interfaces. Practical experience deploying software on AWS or similar cloud environments using Git and CI\/CD tools. A disciplined approach to security, testing, and data privacy, particularly within a regulated financial context. Proficiency in using AI development tools (coding agents and LLMs) while maintaining accountability for code maintainability and correctness. Previous experience or exposure to FastAPI, Snowflake, dbt, or serverless AWS services (Lambda, S3, Cognito) is highly advantageous. Excellent communication skills and the ability to work autonomously in a remote, agile environment. What's on Offer The opportunity to work in a high-growth fintech environment with direct business context and visible ownership. Exposure to a sophisticated tech stack including payments data platforms, cloud-native systems, and practical AI applications. A collaborative culture that values professional growth and the ability to influence architecture and engineering practices. Remote work flexibility within South Africa. Provision of high-end equipment and modern AI-driven development tools.
