fibertime™ is South Africa’s fastest-growing telco, building affordable, pay-as-you-go internet access for township communities across the country. Our mission is simple : connect everyone to great, affordable internet — for R5 a day, no T&Cs.

With operations expanding across all major provinces and a growth pipeline of over 2 million homes under build (and another 2 million earmarked for further expansion), fibertime™ combines deep infrastructure execution with a customer‑centric, technology‑driven operating model. We’re scaling nationally and shaping the next chapter of South African connectivity.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Full Stack Senior Developer, that will form part of the technical backbone behind fibertime™’s transaction and payment systems – building the distributed infrastructure that powers our vouchers, wallets, and customer access flows. As a key member of our development team, you will play a crucial role in designing, developing, and maintaining our software applications.

This is not just about clean code – it’s about designing for scale, resilience, and real‑world complexity. You’ll be joining a small, elite product and tech team solving real African infrastructure problems at fintech scale.

WHAT YOU'LL DO (AND LOVE DOING)

• Full‑Stack Delivery – Own the end‑to‑end development across front‑end and back‑end components, delivering intuitive interfaces and efficient server‑side logic using modern frameworks and best practices.
• System Architecture & Development – Design, build, and maintain scalable microservices powering fibertime™’s pay‑as‑you‑go ecosystem – authentication, payments and voucher redemption, customer wallets, and real‑time provisioning. Deliver resilient, high‑performance systems capable of handling heavy concurrent load.
• API & Integration Ownership – Develop and maintain secure, well‑documented APIs connecting fibertime™’s core platform to customer apps, captive portals, WhatsApp, call‑centre tools, and third‑party partners such as payment gateways and voucher distributors.
• Performance, Observability & Security – Implement robust authentication and authorization to protect data integrity. Instrument and optimise systems for latency, load, and reliability, resolving bottlenecks before they affect customers.
• Engineering Excellence – Maintain a high standard of development processes, tooling, and deployment pipelines to ensure quality and speed are adhered to. Enforce strong code quality, testing, and documentation standards.
• Leadership & Mentorship – Guide technical decision‑making, and mentor junior and mid‑level developers, fostering accountability, learning, and craftsmanship.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
