How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio plus degree or diploma certificate.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Krugersdorp.

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.

For each job, name one thing you built and its impact, like "cut checkout load time by 40%".
Tidy your public repos before you apply; recruiters and tech leads really do open them.
