You'll need

Good SQL and understanding of relational databases

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Johannesburg CBD really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: list of projects with the tech stack you used on each plus degree or diploma certificate.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Johannesburg CBD.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

For each job, name one thing you built and its impact, like "cut checkout load time by 40%".
Expect a take-home or live coding test, so practise with a timer in the language you listed.
