  • Experience in the Gambling & Betting industry
  • Knowledge of containerisation or cloud-native architectures
  • What’s On Offer

  • Opportunity to lead architecture on a high-visibility project
  • Hybrid working model with a preference for Cape Town-based candidates
  • A contract role with strong potential for impact and further engagement
  • Join a trusted consultancy environment that values innovation and autonomy
  • Company Culture

    Our client is more than a consultancy - they’re a global community of innovators, craftsmen, and change-makers. They bring a "stepping stone" mindset : your growth and theirs go hand in hand. They operate around five core values that drive everything they do : Pioneer Spirit, Care, Trust, Performance, and Independence.

  • Pioneer Spirit — Encouraging bold thinking and experimentation
  • Care — Respect, diversity, and a balanced, supportive environment
  • Trust — Autonomy, open dialogue, and empowered decision-making
  • Performance — A commitment to excellence and real impact
  • Independence — Flexible, adaptive, and self-directed operations
  • You’ll be trusted from day one to contribute meaningfully, take initiative, and challenge the status quo - all within a culture that supports international collaboration and mobility.

    If you have not been contacted within 10 working days, please consider your application unsuccessful.
