Job Description

Write clean code, review pull requests and fix what breaks at a software development house in Germiston. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll be based at a software development house in Germiston. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

  • Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
  • Document how your features work for support and new developers
  • Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind
  • Write unit and integration tests before you merge

What you 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
  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages

Nice if you have

  • Public GitHub portfolio or published app
  • Cloud certification on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
  • Knowledge of secure coding and the OWASP Top 10

What's in it for you

  • Hybrid or fully remote work
  • Laptop and data allowance
