About the team

At Yoco, our Tech Enablement: Internal Systems team keeps the business running smoothly behind the scenes.
We take care of the tools and systems that power Yoco’s Revenue and Customer Operations teams — automating processes, integrating platforms, and making data flow effortlessly across the company.
We’re a small but mighty team that’s been together for over four years. Collaboration is our superpower, both within our team and with stakeholders across the business.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Integrations Software Engineer to help us scale and own Yoco’s internal integrations.
You’ll connect and automate our most critical business systems — from Finance to People Ops — ensuring reliable, secure, and seamless data flow across departments.
You’ll work closely with IT Operations, Engineering, Finance, and People teams to build scalable integrations that reduce manual work, improve data accuracy, and make everyday life at Yoco more efficient.

What you will be doing

• Building and maintaining NetSuite Yoco integrations for Supply Chain and Finance.
• Delivering automated, accurate, and timely financial data directly from NetSuite.
• Reducing reliance on spreadsheets and manual exports through smart automation.
• Owning HiBob PaySpace and other HR/People integrations.
• Driving automations across People, Finance, and Sales systems.
• Leveraging Kafka to power real-time data and event streaming.

About you

• 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, with significant experience in Python.
• Experience with a Java-based (JVM) language (e.g., Java, Kotlin) is a strong plus
• Strong background in API development and integrations (REST, GraphQL, SOAP).
• Experience running workloads on AWS or GCP.
• Hands‑on with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab or GitHub).
• Excellent communication and documentation skills — able to simplify complex systems.
• Proven experience debugging and maintaining distributed systems.

Bonus Points

• Experience with Kafka or other event‑streaming technologies.
• Hands‑on experience with NetSuite or HiBob APIs.
• Familiarity with integration platforms such as Workato, Zapier, or Boomi.

The people we’re looking for

You’re someone who thrives in autonomy — comfortable taking an idea, clarifying needs with stakeholders, and delivering scalable solutions.
You’re the “glue” who connects people and systems across departments, and you’re excited to share your knowledge and help upskill others as we grow.

We’re looking for people who want to grow and have a thirst for learning. And as Yoco grows, we hope they stay with us for the long‑term.

Building solutions for a more equal society is a daunting task - and it’s not for everyone. We never stop pushing, we break things to rebuild, and we challenge ourselves and our teammates. We start over, we constantly evolve - and we do it fast. We know that it’s just the right kind of meaningful madness for our kind of visionary human.

So, who are you? You’re someone who resonates with our mission and our values, and you’re relentlessly effective in your execution.

You’re a curious problem‑solver with a passion for doing good. You’re bright, grounded, experimental and bold. You play open cards and get stuck in. You’re not afraid of change. You close the loop.

At Yoco, we laugh, embrace each other’s quirks, and support one another’s growth, all while staying authentic.
