  • Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind

What you need

  • 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
  • Experience writing automated tests

Nice if you have

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