Job Description

You'll build and ship features that real users touch every day, for an e-commerce platform in Gqeberha. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

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

The work, day to day

  • Design database tables and write efficient SQL queries
  • Pick up tickets from the sprint board and estimate the work
  • Join daily stand-ups and sprint planning
  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards
  • Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind

Must-haves

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Knowledge of secure coding and the OWASP Top 10
  • Cloud certification on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud

On offer

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