Cape Town, South Africa Yoco Full time

Who we are

Yoco was founded in 2015, and has since processed over R100 billion in digital payments for over 400,000 businesses in South Africa. We’re breaking down barriers and unlocking economic opportunities that enable people to thrive.
We have over 330 team members across our key hubs in South Africa and the Netherlands, all with a bias for boldness, and a passion for simple, progressive solutions. We believe in uniting different people to solve hard problems together.
Our mission of making society more equal takes a variety of people, with different backgrounds and points of view, so we can keep building solutions that work for and include everyone.
Yoco is growing, and as we grow we have compelling challenges ahead of us.
Growing means we’re enabling more self-employed people and businesses to thrive every day. It also means that ambitious problem-solvers with big ideas are challenged, stimulated and will thrive at Yoco.
We don’t stop pushing, we break things to rebuild, we challenge ourselves and each other. We’re constantly evolving — and we’re doing it fast.
Grow With Us.

About the SDK (Tappy) team

The SDK team (Or Tappy Team) is responsible for the interface in the payment SDK which is used in all our Android card machines and POS integrations, and is responsible for the payment flow. The team has recently been involved in a very exciting project doing cloud-integrated payments through our POS integrations and is currently a team of 4 Senior Frontend or Fullstack Engineers.

About the role

As a staff engineer, you will contribute to an individual contributor's career path. You will be responsible for system design, ensuring that the team is aligned with the Yoco technical direction. To complement the team’s tech lead, you will be expected to mentor and coach engineers to ensure that the team supports and delivers new features quickly and with industry-leading quality and non-functional requirements (e.g. availability, security, performance, etc.).

What you will be doing

- Coding front-end interfaces in Kotlin, and Compose Multiplatform

- Writing unit tests and improving code quality with code refactors

- Assisting the team with further improvements to the stability of the cloud integration product, as well as the payment SDK

- Assisting with collaborating on, and doing work that spans multiple teams

- Helping improve the Software development lifecycle (SDLC) including leading system designs, writing technical requirements, and improving regression testing, and release management

About you

- 7+ years of experience as a frontend software engineer, preferably using Kotlin

- Experience designing and building systems with challenging non-functional requirements (e.g. availability, security, performance, etc.)

- Experience with technical leadership, with an emphasis on leading by example, and setting coding standards.

- Experience working as part of a globally distributed team

- Experience working in a product-based company (instead of a services-based company)

- The ability to thrive with a high level of autonomy and responsibility

- Experience in payments is a bonus

The People We’re Looking For

We’re looking for people who want to grow. And as Yoco grows we hope they stay with us, long term.
Building things that make society more equal is a daunting task. And it’s not for everyone. We never stop pushing, we break things to rebuild, we challenge ourselves and teammates. We start over, we constantly evolve — and we do it fast. We know that it’s just the right kind of meaningful madness for our kind of visionary human.
So, who are you? You’re someone who resonates with our mission, but also our values, when it comes to how we work.
You’re a curious problem-solver with a passion for doing good. You’re bright and grounded, experimental and bold. You play open cards and get stuck in. You’re not afraid of change. You close the loop.
At Yoco, we love to laugh, cherish each other’s quirks, and be authentic.
Find out more about who we are here.
We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply and ask that you please send your application in English and help us reduce unconscious bias by leaving out your picture, age, address, and other unnecessary information in your CV.
