Job Description

You'll build and ship features that real users touch every day, for a logistics software company in Pinetown. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Design database tables and write efficient SQL queries
Write unit and integration tests before you merge
Join daily stand-ups and sprint planning
Handle personal data safely, with POPIA rules in mind
Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab

Must-haves

Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages
You can explain technical choices to non-technical people

Extra points for

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

What's in it for you
