Counder is the network for collective understanding. A global community of remarkable leaders, investors, and creatives from different backgrounds, making sense of a changing world — together. The conference is the once‑a‑year peak where we bring 500+ curated leaders from 27+ nationalities to Cape Town. But the network runs year‑round: curated introductions, and a digital platform that keeps members collaborating between editions. Counder is growing — in ambition, in product, and in the communities we bring together. The scope of this role will grow with us. Role As a Software Engineer at Counder, you’ll build the systems that power a year‑round global network and world‑class conference. You’ll work in‑person in Cape Town, directly with the CTO in a small, focused team. Every engineer owns significant surface area. What You’ll Work On Website & Digital Platform – Build and maintain Counder’s public‑facing website with modern design standards. Use web analytics to drive continuous improvements to conversion and engagement. Counder Connect – Contribute to our AI‑powered member web app. Build matching and recommendation systems, conference‑week digital experience, and engagement features that keep 500+ leaders connected year‑round. Internal AI Tools & Infrastructure – Help build our AI‑native CRM and business operating system. Build data enrichment pipelines, integrate third‑party systems, and automate repetitive processes – a lean team depends on engineering leverage. What We’re Looking For AI‑Native Developer – You already work with coding agents at a high level, running parallel agents, managing git worktrees, and getting the most out of the tools most engineers are still figuring out. 3–5 years of full‑stack experience with strong frontend skills. Comfortable across the stack with a genuine eye for design – solid UI/UX sensibility. You’ve built AI‑integrated applications, MCP tooling, and are comfortable with data and analytics work. You understand CRM systems and have built CRM automations – you know how to translate business operations into reliable, automated workflows. You’re a generalist whose skills go beyond engineering. Knowledgeable in Marketing and Sales and interested in how the business works, not just the code that runs it. You have a Computer Science degree or related qualification. Not mandatory if you have proven project experience. Bonus AWS experience Experience with building multi‑agent orchestration with RAG Experience building platforms for communities, networks, or membership products Docker, CI/CD, and IaC experience Why Join Counder AI‑native from day one – Claude Code is the standard. The entire team builds this way. No politics, no resistance, just building. Real ownership – in a small engineering team, you own what you ship. No ticket factories, no sprint theatre, no layers of approval. Product impact – your work serves investors, founders, and decision‑makers from around the world. Right stage, right moment – early enough to shape technical foundations, established enough to have clear product direction and real users. #J-18808-Ljbffr
