Job Description

Here your code runs in production, not in a drawer: an e-commerce platform in Brackenfell. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Brackenfell-based, with most of your time spent at an e-commerce platform. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What you'll actually do

  • Pick up tickets from the sprint board and estimate the work
  • Design database tables and write efficient SQL queries
  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards
  • Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind
  • Write, test and refactor code in your team's main language
  • Review teammates' pull requests with useful comments

You'll need

  • 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

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: degree or diploma certificate plus list of projects with the tech stack you used on each.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

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.

How to stand out

  • Expect a take-home or live coding test, so practise with a timer in the language you listed.
  • For each job, name one thing you built and its impact, like "cut checkout load time by 40%".
