POSITION INFO:

A forward-thinking, tech-driven company based in Kenilworth is looking for a Java Software Engineer Team Leader to join their talented team. This hybrid role is ideal for someone who thrives in both leadership and hands-on development, working with purpose and passion.

Lead and mentor a team of Java Software Engineers.
Stay actively involved in solution design, architecture, and coding.

Build clever, reliable software that helps expand fast, dependable internet access across Africa.
Collaborate with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) such as MWEB, Vox, Cybersmart, and Frogfoot.

What You’ll Bring:

A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
5+ years of Java development experience.
2+ years in a leadership or team lead role.
Strong grasp of software engineering principles, design patterns, and clean architecture.
Confidence in a hybrid working environment (Kenilworth-based office).

What’s in It for You:

Flexible hybrid work setup.
Supportive, high-performance culture.
Competitive, negotiable salary.
A chance to build real solutions for real users—and make a meaningful impact.
