Job Description

You'll build and ship features that real users touch every day, for a fintech start-up in Atlantis. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

What your day looks like

Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
Document how your features work for support and new developers
Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
Write unit and integration tests before you merge
Pair with junior developers to unblock them

Must-haves

Stable internet and a quiet workspace for remote days
Experience writing automated tests
Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages
A computer science or IT qualification, or a portfolio that proves you can build
You can explain technical choices to non-technical people

Helpful, not essential

Cloud certification on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
Public GitHub portfolio or published app
Experience in regulated sectors such as banking or medical schemes

On offer

Hybrid or fully remote work
Paid certification exams and learning budget
Medical aid and retirement fund
Laptop and data allowance

How to apply for this job

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Atlantis really suit you before you apply.
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, link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio plus degree or diploma certificate.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
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 Atlantis.

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

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