Introduction:

Help build the app millions of South Africans rely on daily.

We're hiring now. Our Capitec App team is growing fast and we need Intermediate UX Engineers to join us.

You'll build and improve features on one of South Africa's most-used banking apps writing real code that reaches real people, every day.

What you'll work with

• React and TypeScript
• Component libraries and design systems (MUI / MUI X or similar)
• Git, CI/CD pipelines and collaborative code workflows
• Figma design handoffs
• AI-assisted development tools (used responsibly)

What you'll do

• Build and maintain modern, responsive front-end features
• Develop reusable components using established design systems
• Write clean, tested and well-documented code
• Take work from requirement through to deployment with a reasonable level of independence
• Join code reviews, technical discussions and knowledge-sharing sessions
• Work with designers, QA, product owners and fellow engineers to deliver quality at pace

What you need

• 2–5 years of front-end development experience (or demonstrated equivalent)
• Solid React and TypeScript skills
• Experience with component libraries and design systems
• Familiarity with Git, code reviews and software delivery processes

Bonus if you have:

• MUI / MUI X experience
• Familiarity with micro-frontend architecture or Module Federation
• Experience with Figma handoffs or accessibility principles
• A working knowledge of UX best practices and how they shape front-end decisions

Who we're looking for

You take ownership. You make sensible technical decisions, write code you're proud of and ask for help when it matters. You're curious, collaborative and focused on quality not just closing tickets.

You don't need to define architecture or solve every hard problem alone. You do need the maturity to know when to push forward and when to ask.

Why this role

You'll work on technology that helps millions of South Africans bank simply and better. Your work ships to real people. That matters.

We are committed to employment equity. We actively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and strongly encourage candidates from under-represented groups to apply.
