Job Description

Here your code runs in production, not in a drawer: a logistics software company in Pinetown. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Pinetown; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

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

You'll need

  • Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
  • Experience writing automated tests
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people

Nice if you have

  • Experience in regulated sectors such as banking or medical schemes
  • Cloud certification on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): list of projects with the tech stack you used on each plus link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted
