Job Description

Here your code runs in production, not in a drawer: an e-commerce platform in Umlazi. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

You'll report in Umlazi. Relocation is not covered for this one.

The work, day to day

  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
  • Join daily stand-ups and sprint planning
  • Pick up tickets from the sprint board and estimate the work
  • Review teammates' pull requests with useful comments

Must-haves

  • Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
  • Stable internet and a quiet workspace for remote days
  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • A computer science or IT qualification, or a portfolio that proves you can build
  • Experience writing automated tests
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people

Helpful, not essential

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

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Umlazi really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio, degree or diploma certificate plus list of projects with the tech stack you used on each.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

How to stand out

  • Start your CV with your stack in one line, such as "C#, .NET 8, SQL Server, Azure", then your years on it.
