Job Description

Here your code runs in production, not in a drawer: a fintech start-up in Randburg. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work, day to day

  • Document how your features work for support and new developers
  • Review teammates' pull requests with useful comments
  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards

  • Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind
  • Join daily stand-ups and sprint planning

You'll need

  • Experience writing automated tests
  • Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people
  • Stable internet and a quiet workspace for remote days
  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases

Helpful, not essential

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

What you get

  • Paid certification exams and learning budget
  • Performance bonus
  • Hybrid or fully remote work
  • Medical aid and retirement fund
