Job Description

Write clean code, review pull requests and fix what breaks at a software development house in Krugersdorp. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Krugersdorp; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Design database tables and write efficient SQL queries
  • Review teammates' pull requests with useful comments
  • Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind
  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards
  • Pick up tickets from the sprint board and estimate the work
  • Document how your features work for support and new developers

What you need

  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
  • A computer science or IT qualification, or a portfolio that proves you can build
  • Experience writing automated tests
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience in regulated sectors such as banking or medical schemes
  • Knowledge of secure coding and the OWASP Top 10
  • Public GitHub portfolio or published app

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Krugersdorp really suit you before you 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, link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio plus degree or diploma certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

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

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.

How to stand out

  • Tidy your public repos before you apply; recruiters and tech leads really do open them.
  • Start your CV with your stack in one line, such as "C#, .NET 8, SQL Server, Azure", then your years on it.
