Job Description

Write clean code, review pull requests and fix what breaks at an insurance company software team in Krugersdorp. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

  • Pair with junior developers to unblock them
  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards
  • Write, test and refactor code in your team's main language
  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Document how your features work for support and new developers
  • Write unit and integration tests before you merge

What you need

  • 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
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people

Helpful, not essential

  • Public GitHub portfolio or published app
  • Cloud certification on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
  • Docker and Kubernetes experience

What's in it for you

  • Performance bonus
  • Medical aid and retirement fund
  • Paid certification exams and learning budget
  • Laptop and data allowance

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio, list of projects with the tech stack you used on each plus degree or diploma certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

How to stand out

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