APAC cashback and rewards platform connecting shoppers to 20,000+ merchants
ShopBack operates a shopping and rewards network across 13 Asia-Pacific markets, processing over 500,000 transactions daily. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward marketing (55 roles) over engineering (22), reflecting a platform built to scale user acquisition and merchant partnerships rather than infrastructure—supported by a polyglot stack (Node.js, Java, Kotlin, Python, Go) that handles core transaction volume. Active projects center on paid social scaling, merchant onboarding, and discovery optimization, while pain points cluster around campaign workflow inefficiency and creative scaling across regions, indicating the company is hitting the operational limits of manual, market-by-market execution.
Notable leadership hires: Growth Director, Social Content Lead, Head of Business Development
