Job Description

You'll build and ship features that real users touch every day, for a fintech start-up in Brakpan. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in Brakpan; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Review teammates' pull requests with useful comments
  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards
  • Pair with junior developers to unblock them
  • Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Document how your features work for support and new developers

You'll need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Public GitHub portfolio or published app
  • Cloud certification on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
  • Experience in regulated sectors such as banking or medical schemes

On offer

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