Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of OfferZen as an employer.

What you need

  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering or technical problem-solving roles
  • Strong fundamentals in software design and system thinking
  • Experience working across systems, integrations, and data flows
  • Comfort working directly with customers and owning ambiguous problems
  • Clear communication skills and a strong ownership mindset
  • Curiosity and interest in building AI-powered systems that work in practice

Nice to have

  • Experience in forward-deployed, solutions engineering, or customer-facing roles
  • Exposure to AI agents, automation, or conversational systems
  • Experience operating and improving production systems

Worth weighing

  • Office attendance is expected to be around 4 days a week on-site, typically at a client's office rather than Wonderful's own office
  • No visa sponsorship available; candidates must already have the right to work in South Africa
  • Compensation is targeting the 95th–99th percentile of local market rates, but specifics are not provided
