Job Ref:

JHB000491/CB

Date posted:

Thursday, May 21, 2026

Location:

Pretoria, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Tired of building features nobody uses?
This role is for engineers who want to see their work matter — internal platforms used by real teams, every single day. You'll own the full stack, work directly with the people using what you build, and skip the layers of process that slow everything down. Modern stack, global scale, and the kind of autonomy most developers only get after a decade.

POSITION INFO:
What you need:

4+ years of full stack engineering experience
Strong backend skills in Python or Node.js
Frontend experience with React, Next.js, Vue, or Nuxt
Comfortable with REST APIs, authentication, and third-party integrations
Solid on relational databases — PostgreSQL is what they run
You know your way around Git, CI/CD, and cloud deployments
You can work independently and ship production-ready code without hand-holding

Nice to have:

GCP, AWS, or Azure hands-on experience
TypeScript and modern UI component libraries
Infrastructure as Code or containerised environments
Built dashboards or data visualisation tools before
Worked in fast-moving teams where you wore more than one hat

What you'll be doing:

Build: internal web applications and operational platforms end-to-end — database to UI
Integrate: third-party services, SaaS tools, and enterprise systems
Ship: APIs, backend services, and cloud deployments that teams depend on daily
Collaborate: directly with business teams, data engineers, and AI specialists — not just a ticket system
Own: your code in production, including reliability, performance, and continuous improvement
What's in it for you:
High autonomy — you own what you build
Flexible working environment
Exposure to a modern, cloud-native tech stack
International teams and real-world scale
