Communicate Recruitment

Job Ref:

CTI006098/Chels

Date posted:

Wednesday, December 3, 2025

Location:

Cape Town, South Africa

Salary:

700 000 Annually

SUMMARY:
Well, what do we have here? Someone who’s spent 5+ years charming pipelines, coaxing APIs, and taming misbehaving databases. If that’s you, congratulations—you might be the kind of audacious problem-solver my client wants on their team.

Your skills are about to meet their grandest challenge yet.

POSITION INFO:

A degree in Industrial Engineering—because someone needs to be the Less Grinchy around here, and it sure isn’t me
Minimum 5+ years building and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines that slurp data from IoT meters, SCADA systems, and those dreadfully cheerful financial platforms
Experience crafting relational and non-relational databases/data warehouses robust enough to survive an avalanche off Mount Crumpit
The ability to build APIs and integrations so smooth they might actually make me smile. (Don’t get used to it.)
Expertise performing data quality checks, anomaly detection, and reconciliation routines—because messy data makes my heart shrink even smaller
Proven experience deploying AI/ML models for forecasting, optimisation, and spotting anomalies faster than I can spot a Who caroler
Skills supporting financial and technical modelling A problem-solving mind sharper than my icicle collection—and hopefully less bitter

WHY YOU (UNFORTUNATELY) MATTER:
Because, much to my irritation, someone has to be smart enough to tame this unruly data. You’ll be the one propping up operational excellence, driving energy innovation, and keeping all those ridiculously “good-for-the-world” projects alive—while I sit back, scowl, and mutter under my breath about how annoying it all is.

APPLY IF YOU MUST!
