Job Description

An e-commerce platform in Vanderbijlpark needs a developer who can take a ticket from idea to production. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

Location: Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
  • Join daily stand-ups and sprint planning
  • Write, test and refactor code in your team's main language
  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards
  • Document how your features work for support and new developers
  • Design database tables and write efficient SQL queries

Must-haves

  • Experience writing automated tests
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people
  • Stable internet and a quiet workspace for remote days
  • A computer science or IT qualification, or a portfolio that proves you can build
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages
  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases

Nice if you have

  • Docker and Kubernetes experience
  • Public GitHub portfolio or published app

On offer

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