Job Description

You'll build and ship features that real users touch every day, for an e-commerce platform in Rosslyn. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Home base is an e-commerce platform on the Rosslyn side of Gauteng. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Design database tables and write efficient SQL queries
  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Join daily stand-ups and sprint planning
  • Document how your features work for support and new developers
  • Write unit and integration tests before you merge
  • Investigate production bugs using logs and monitoring dashboards

You'll need

  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages
  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people
  • A computer science or IT qualification, or a portfolio that proves you can build
  • Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
  • Experience writing automated tests

On offer

  • Hybrid or fully remote work
  • Medical aid and retirement fund
  • Laptop and data allowance

How to apply

  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): list of projects with the tech stack you used on each, 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. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 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 Rosslyn.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

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