Job Description

An insurance company software team in Pinetown needs a developer who can take a ticket from idea to production. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

Location: Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Write unit and integration tests before you merge
  • Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
  • Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind
  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards

Must-haves

  • Stable internet and a quiet workspace for remote days
  • Experience writing automated tests
  • Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages

Nice if you have

  • Docker and Kubernetes experience
  • Public GitHub portfolio or published app

What's in it for you

  • Laptop and data allowance
  • Hybrid or fully remote work
  • Performance bonus
  • Paid certification exams and learning budget

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: list of projects with the tech stack you used on each plus link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.
