Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa The Internet of Behaviors Company Full time
Join the Team Reinventing the Brick & Mortar Shopping Experience at IOB

Imagine working at a company where you experience the best of both worlds: the fast-paced execution of a startup paired with the guidance of leaders who have built successful scalable solutions. Led by veteran innovator Hannes van Rensburg, we are not just rethinking the evolution of physical retail—we are redefining it.

We believe that physical retail is NOT dead; rather, it has yet to evolve alongside today's modern customers. Many shoppers are migrating to online platforms because physical retail has fallen short in convenience, selection, pricing, and enjoyment. We need your expertise to make it happen. At The Internet of Behaviors Company (IOB), we envision a future where physical shopping becomes an enjoyable social and retail experience once again. Our goal is to connect physical storefronts with customers in a way that rivals the convenience of online shopping. We're looking for great teammates to help us shape the future of connected retail, and we invite you to join us.

You will be part of a skilled team that is fundamentally reshaping physical retail, which still accounts for 80% of the overall industry. Together, we will invent a new standard for customer experience, personalized service, and ultimately, a delightful way to shop. You will work alongside some of the brightest minds in technology, develop cutting-edge software and hardware solutions, and be empowered to tackle challenging problems that will stretch your skills and enhance your thinking. If you are ready to join us in building the future of connected retail, we want to hear from you.
