We give a f#&k
and we're human
Howler’s at the heart of the best events – and people are at the heart of ours. That’s why, even though we’re constantly evolving, our values stay the same. We give a f#&k about our clients, our customers and most importantly, our employees.
Burnout buster leave, reduced working hours and a team as diverse as the public we serve means that our users get great results, and we get a happy workforce.
Seamless and fuss-free events
Online Ticketing
Howler Ticketing is an all inclusive online ticketing solution that drives sales for organisers and offers event-goers a seamless user experience.
With diverse payment options, easy communication tools and ticket Resale, Howler’s next-gen ticketing platform makes handling event tickets a fuss-free experience for organizers and their customers.
We're global
Today, events of all sizes across the globe use Howler to sell more tickets, manage access control and streamline payments with a slick RFID system.
There’s a spot for you
Like us, you’re clearly on the hunt. You’re into the kind of events that makes magic and money, in equal quantities. Great. Same. At Howler, we have loads of different positions available. So if live music and large-scale events give you life instead of headaches, or you loved crowds as a kid but hate them now, you can pick between our part-time and full-time roles.
Casual Work
Work the biggest events in the country. Get paid for it.
Howler runs ticketing, access control and cashless payments at festivals, concerts and expos across South Africa — Ultra South Africa, Comic Con Africa, Black Coffee Weekender, MTN Bushfire. Every one of them needs Wolves onsite: on the gates scanning tickets, helping vendors with cashless, and making sure a crowd gets in, gets served and has a good night.
Register once and you join the pack. When an event near you needs crew, we offer you the shift — you choose which ones to take. Show up and work hard, and there is always another event — and a path into the roles that run the team.
Performance Marketing Specialist
Take the number. Own every rand between here and it.
Howler powers ticketing, cashless payments and the event app for some of South Africa's biggest live experiences — Ultra South Africa, Comic Con Africa, Black Coffee Weekender, MTN Bushfire. Behind those events sits a marketing machine our organisers run on too: Pulse, campaigns, CRM, the app. The machine is built. We're hiring the person who makes it pay.
We're hiring a Performance Marketing Specialist to own performance marketing end to end — Howler's growth and our clients'. The business sets the destination; you own the spend, the channels and the campaigns that get there — and what you learn on the way redraws the map for everyone.
System Support Specialist
When a payment fails at 21:00 on a Saturday, you are the person who finds out why.
Howler runs ticketing, cashless payments and the event app for some of South Africa's biggest live experiences — Ultra South Africa, Comic Con Africa, Black Coffee Weekender, MTN Bushfire. Money moves through our platform while the crowd is in the venue. When something breaks, it is rarely theoretical: a settlement file that did not arrive, a gateway that stopped authorising, a report that shows a blank where a number should be.
We are hiring a System Support Specialist to hold that line. You are the first person on the problem — triaging it, reproducing it, fixing what you can, and handing engineering something they can act on when you cannot.
Senior Ruby on Rails Developer
Your code clears the gate at Ultra while sixty thousand people are standing in front of it.
Howler builds the technology behind live experience — ticketing, access control and cashless payments in one system, trusted across more than 20 countries and used by some of South Africa's biggest events: Ultra South Africa, Comic Con Africa, Black Coffee Weekender, MTN Bushfire. Millions of tickets, payments and check-ins flow through the platform every year, and a great deal of it has to work with no network and no second chance.
We are hiring a Senior Ruby on Rails Developer to take ownership of significant areas of that platform — leading the technical implementation of complex product work, shaping the architecture underneath it, and raising the engineering bar for everyone around you.
Flutter Developer (Intermediate to Senior)
The app has to work in a field, on one bar of signal, with sixty thousand people around it.
Howler builds the technology behind live experience — ticketing, access control and cashless payments in one system, trusted across more than 20 countries and used by some of South Africa's biggest events: Ultra South Africa, Comic Con Africa, Black Coffee Weekender, MTN Bushfire. The mobile app is where most people meet all of it: buying the ticket, getting through the gate, paying at the bar.
We are hiring a Flutter developer, intermediate or senior, to build and improve that app. You will turn ideas into working software quickly and stay accountable for your changes from implementation through release — not through to "pull request opened".
Be clear on one thing before you apply: we are looking for software engineering accelerated by AI, not a replacement for engineering fundamentals. Both halves of that sentence are load-bearing.
Account Manager
You are the person an organiser calls at 23:00 the night before their event — and you already know the answer.
Howler powers ticketing, access control, cashless payments, streaming and the event app for some of South Africa's biggest live experiences: Ultra South Africa, Comic Con Africa, Black Coffee Weekender, MTN Bushfire and more. Behind every smooth gate-open is a web of internal teams — Event Operations, Finance, Product, Marketing, Data, Customer Support — all needing the right information at the right time. That coordination does not happen by accident.
We are hiring an Account Manager to own a portfolio of client relationships from sales handover through to post-event closeout. You will be the main day-to-day contact for your clients: gathering their event requirements, briefing internal teams, tracking deadlines, catching risks before they become problems, and making sure everyone — client and Howler alike — has what they need to deliver a great event.
