Job Description

You'll build and ship features that real users touch every day, for a fintech start-up in Epping. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is Epping-based, with most of your time spent at a fintech start-up.

  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards
  • Review teammates' pull requests with useful comments
  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Join daily stand-ups and sprint planning
  • Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind
  • Write, test and refactor code in your team's main language

You'll need

  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • Experience writing automated tests
  • 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
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people

Nice if you have

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

On offer

  • Laptop and data allowance
  • Hybrid or fully remote work
  • Performance bonus
  • Medical aid and retirement fund

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: list of projects with the tech stack you used on each, degree or diploma certificate plus link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Epping.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • Expect a take-home or live coding test, so practise with a timer in the language you listed.
  • Start your CV with your stack in one line, such as "C#, .NET 8, SQL Server, Azure", then your years on it.
