Job Description

Here your code runs in production, not in a drawer: a fintech start-up in Paarl. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The work, day to day

Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind
Write unit and integration tests before you merge
Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
Pick up tickets from the sprint board and estimate the work
Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards
Join daily stand-ups and sprint planning

What you need

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

On offer

Laptop and data allowance
Medical aid and retirement fund
Paid certification exams and learning budget
