Software Engineer - Backend

Our Journey ShopBack was born one night in 2014 when co-founders Henry and Joel were toying around (with entrepreneurial ideas) in Henry's car. Their brainstorming session sparked the concept of a more rewarding way to shop, starting with the idea of earning online Cashback.

From those late-night musings emerged the ShopBack Group, now the leading shopping, rewards, and payments platform in Asia-Pacific. With over 40 million shoppers across 12 markets (and counting!), ShopBack now facilitates more than half a million transactions daily for over 20,000 online and in-store partners.

Fresh off its debut in the European market, ShopBack is on the lookout for thrill-seekers to embark on this exhilarating journey to build The World's Most Rewarding Way to Shop. Get ready for the ride of a lifetime: a blend of startup spirit woven into a solid business foundation.

Warning: Not for the faint-hearted. Possible side effects may include spending more on shopping (but don't worry — you earn Cashback).
