Job Description

You'll build and ship features that real users touch every day, for an insurance company software team in Gqeberha. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll report in Gqeberha. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What your day looks like

  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards
  • Review teammates' pull requests with useful comments
  • Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab
  • Pick up tickets from the sprint board and estimate the work
  • Write, test and refactor code in your team's main language
  • Write unit and integration tests before you merge

Must-haves

  • Experience writing automated tests
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages
  • A computer science or IT qualification, or a portfolio that proves you can build
  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people
  • Stable internet and a quiet workspace for remote days

Nice if you have

  • Experience in regulated sectors such as banking or medical schemes
  • Knowledge of secure coding and the OWASP Top 10

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio 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. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted
