This post is in Germiston (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Write, test and refactor code in your team's main language
  • 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
  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs

Must-haves

  • Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
  • A computer science or IT qualification, or a portfolio that proves you can build
  • Experience writing automated tests
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages

Helpful, not essential

  • Knowledge of secure coding and the OWASP Top 10
  • Docker and Kubernetes experience
  • Experience in regulated sectors such as banking or medical schemes

What's in it for you

  • Laptop and data allowance
