Shape the Future of Smart Mobility Across Africa

Join a fast-growing, innovation-driven technology company at the forefront of transforming public transport systems across Africa and beyond. This organisation delivers cutting-edge software and intelligent transport solutions that power cities, improve passenger experiences, and optimise large-scale mobility networks.

They’re looking for a Technical Software Consultant who thrives at the intersection of technology, problem-solving, and client engagement — someone who wants to work on complex, real-world systems that make a visible impact.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on, client-facing role where you’ll play a key part in delivering and integrating sophisticated software solutions used in public transport environments.

You’ll work across the full lifecycle — from understanding client requirements through to design, configuration, integration, testing, and deployment — collaborating with cross-functional teams and engaging directly with customers.

If you enjoy variety, ownership, and solving complex technical challenges in dynamic environments, this role offers exactly that.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Engage with clients to understand and analyse public transport system requirements
• Design, configure, and implement complex software solutions tailored to operational needs
• Lead system integration efforts, including third-party and gateway integrations
• Conduct system testing (internal and user acceptance) to ensure quality delivery
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across live environments
• Produce and maintain high-quality technical documentation and user guides
• Support the development of training materials and knowledge transfer to clients and partners
• Collaborate with internal teams across delivery, QA, and integration functions
• Explore and apply AI-driven approaches to improve implementation and efficiency
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to clients throughout project delivery

What They’re Looking For

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field
• ~5+ years’ experience in software implementation, configuration, or systems analysis
• Strong experience working with complex, integrated software environments
• Proven ability to troubleshoot, problem-solve, and work across multiple technologies
• Experience working in client-facing or consulting roles
• Strong documentation and communication skills
• Ability to work independently while collaborating within a broader team

Bonus points for:

• Experience in public transport, mobility, or large-scale infrastructure systems
• Exposure to system integrations and API/gateway development

Why This Role?

• Work on meaningful, large-scale projects that impact cities and communities
• Be part of a collaborative, high-performing international team
• Gain exposure to cutting-edge transport and smart city technologies
• Opportunity to travel across Africa and occasionally internationally
• A role that blends technical depth with real client engagement
