Fresh Openings at Impact

• This is a high-impact role. The systems you design and build will directly power our revenue growth, unlock new business models, and shape the backbone of how we operate.
• This is not a “business as usual” engineering role. We’re delivering functionality that changes the core of the business, while replacing a legacy monolith with a modern modular monolith - or individual services where it makes sense. While doing this, we strive towards applying best-of-breed technologies and leading-edge methodologies.
• We’re looking for someone who wants to challenge the status quo. Someone who has a strong interest in the latest technologies and engineering practices, and thrives in an environment where curiosity, experimentation, and continuous improvement are part of daily life.

What You'll Do:

• Take ownership of large, complex problems and design simple, elegant solutions.
• Work with stakeholders across product management, sales, and operations to deeply understand business needs — then deliver technology that meets them.
• Shape our architectural journey: from legacy monolith to modular monolith and event-driven systems, always with pragmatism and best practice.
• Champion domain-driven design (strategic & tactical), hexagonal architecture, test-driven development, and clean code.
• Mentor and guide less experienced engineers, helping the team level up.
• Continuously improve how we work, experimenting with new ideas and raising the bar.

What You Bring:

• BSc in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 7+ years' experience in software development
• Deep foundations in computer science and software engineering (algorithms and data structures, distributed computing, large system design, agile approaches etc.).
• Strong grasp of domain-driven design (strategic & tactical).
• Experience with hexagonal / ports-and-adapters architecture.
• Solid experience with object-oriented and functional programming.
• Passion for simple, clean and readable code.
• Understanding of, and appreciation for, test-driven development.
• Experience designing or working with event-driven architectures.
• A solid understanding of agile and iterative development approaches.
• Grasp of team organisation and dynamics (Conway’s Law, Team Topologies etc.).
• Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex systems clearly.
• A natural mentor who enjoys helping others grow.
• A true team player — you enjoy close collaboration, value collective code ownership, and believe the best solutions come from working openly with colleagues across disciplines.
• Above all: someone who actively seeks out better ways of building, delivering, and operating software, and isn’t satisfied with “the way things have always been done.”

Our stack:

• Backend: Java / Spring
• Persistence: MySQL
• Frontend: Vue.js (though deep frontend expertise is not required)
• Architecture: Modular Monolith (evolving from legacy monolith), Hexagonal Architecture, Domain-Driven Design, Event-Driven Systems

• As a Design Traffic Manager at impact.com, you’ll be the engine that keeps our design studio running smoothly. You’ll bring structure, clarity, and momentum to a fast-moving marketing environment—making sure the right work is prioritised, resourced, and delivered on time. This role is critical as we continue to scale globally, ensuring our designers can focus on great creative while you remove friction, surface risks early, and keep stakeholders confidently informed.

 What You'll Do:

• Own the end-to-end flow of design requests, from prioritisation through to delivery, ensuring work moves smoothly across all phases.
• Allocate design resources thoughtfully by balancing team capacity, timelines, and stakeholder needs.
• Maintain accurate, real-time visibility of project status, deadlines, and risks across design boards.
• Proactively identify bottlenecks or stalled work and escalate early to keep projects on track.
• Facilitate regular design status check-ins and ensure clear, timely communication across teams.
• Prepare and deliver a clear Weekly Marketing Design Update, highlighting progress, dependencies, and next actions.

What You Have:

• 3+ years of experience coordinating creative, design, or marketing workflows in a fast-paced environment.
• Confidence using project management tools (Asana experience strongly preferred) to manage boards, timelines, subtasks, and dependencies.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities without losing attention to detail.
• Clear, thoughtful communication skills. You’re comfortable working with designers, managers, and stakeholders at all levels.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset: you anticipate issues and act before they become problems.
• Comfort working in a hybrid setup and collaborating with teammates across time zones.
