SA dynamic player in the chat commerce and WA marketing automation space is Looking for:

Senior Software Engineer

(Node.js & Google Cloud)

Job Description

Who we are

The client is a global Chat Solutions company and Meta Business partner located in Cape

Town, South Africa.

Our primary focus lies in leveraging the WhatsApp Business platform to design and build

robust Software, Integrations, and APIs for various industry segments such as Retail,

Manufacturing, Transport and Logistics, Aviation, FMCG, Agriculture, Contact Centre,

Recruitment, BPO & IT.

In a nutshell, we love to solve interesting business challenges using the power of business

messaging tools. We’ve done our 10 000 hours building WhatsApp solutions, and have

established a long standing track record of innovation in helping clients solve uniquely

African business challenges. Some of our notable achievements have been building the first

ever Retail credit application and document collection chatbot eight years ago. In addition,

helping FlySAfair to deliver boarding passes through WhatsApp, as well as DStv offering

customer self-service using WhatsApp, both firsts on the continent.

Where we are in our journey

We are at the scale-up phase of our journey, looking at rapid global growth within the next 6

• 18 months. If you think you have what it takes to help us achieve this, then jump on board

and help us take our systems and business to the next level.

As a team we are still relatively lean and have been operating in a startup environment.

Everyone has been wearing multiple hats and as a collective we drove the business forward.

We are looking to change that by expanding our technical skills deeper within our tech stack

and are now entering into our next great phase where you don't have as many hats as a

small startup but you still get a lot of freedom and exposure that the corporate environment

lacks.

How We Work

For Local staff we are quite flexible in the way that we work. For the first 3 months you will

be required to be in the office every day to help get to know the team and the business.

Following from there we have a flexible and hybrid approach.

For International remote hires the position is fully remote and will provide equipment as

needed.
