Job Description

You'll build and ship features that real users touch every day, for an e-commerce platform in Benoni. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll be based at an e-commerce platform in Benoni. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Write unit and integration tests before you merge
  • Document how your features work for support and new developers
  • Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
  • Design database tables and write efficient SQL queries
  • Pick up tickets from the sprint board and estimate the work
  • Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind
  • Pair with junior developers to unblock them

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Cloud certification on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
  • Public GitHub portfolio or published app

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: degree or diploma certificate, link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio plus list of projects with the tech stack you used on each.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.

How to stand out

  • Expect a take-home or live coding test, so practise with a timer in the language you listed.
  • Start your CV with your stack in one line, such as "C#, .NET 8, SQL Server, Azure", then your years on it.
