Job Description

You'll build and ship features that real users touch every day, for a software development house in Umhlanga. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is in Umhlanga (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

What you'll actually do

  • Write unit and integration tests before you merge

  • Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Review teammates' pull requests with useful comments
  • Write, test and refactor code in your team's main language

Must-haves

  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • Stable internet and a quiet workspace for remote days
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages

Helpful, not essential

  • Knowledge of secure coding and the OWASP Top 10
  • Cloud certification on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
  • Experience in regulated sectors such as banking or medical schemes

What you get

  • Paid certification exams and learning budget
  • Laptop and data allowance
