Senior Software Engineer - Risk & Compliance (Node / React / Fintech)

SUMMARY:
If the idea of building tech that protects people hits harder than another AI‑generated hype reel, this role is for you. Our client wants someone who thrives in that sweet spot between engineering finesse and real-world impact — the kind of developer who enjoys untangling complexity and turning regulations into clean, intelligent systems.

POSITION INFO:

Step into a role where fintech meets modern SA digital energy — fast, sharp, and built for scale. You’ll:
Build and enhance features like transaction monitoring, sanctions checks and audit logging — think smart systems with real consequences
Prototype workflows in low/no‑code tools, then strengthen them with production-grade code.
Integrate internal + external services through secure APIs — making data flow as clean as a top-tier creator edit
Embed privacy controls, rule engines and anomaly detection into the platform’s core
Balance delivery speed with long-game stability in a regulated space (no cowboy coding)
Work closely with founders, product and compliance teams to translate complex laws into smooth digital experiences
Mentor juniors and uplift engineering quality across code reviews and technical discussions
This role suits someone who loves ownership, thrives in a scaling tech environment, and wants their builds to matter

Skills & Experience:
Minimum 4+ years software engineering experience (fintech/regulatory environment is a plus).
Strong backend with NodeJS + frontend experience with ReactJS.
Solid with relational databases (PostgreSQL).
Comfortable with containerisation and secure API integrations.
Experience with low/no‑code workflow tools, rule engines or configurable logic platforms.
Passion for building secure systems handling sensitive customer data.

Qualification:
Relevant tertiary qualification in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems or similar (advantageous).
Demonstrated track record of hands-on engineering delivery in regulated environments is highly valued.
