Senior Software Developer – R1.2M PA – Remote / Cape Town – Well-Funded Startup

SUMMARY:
Senior Software Developer – R1.2M PA – Remote / Cape Town – Well-Funded Startup

POSITION INFO:

We''re not building just another app — we''re building platforms that empower communities, and tech that scales fast and delivers real-world impact.

We''re hunting for raw brilliance. If you’re a developer who thrives in fast-moving startup environments, loves shipping product early (win or fail), and wants to help shape architecture from the ground up — this one''s for you.

👨‍💻 What We’re Looking For:

• 7 to 12+ years of hands-on dev experience — ideally in early-stage, product-driven teams.
• You''re either an ex-founder, a serial startup builder, or just a damn good engineer who wants in early
• You’ve worked long hours before — not because you had to, but because you were obsessed with the product and the mission.
• Solid exposure to TypeScript, NodeJS, NestJS — but culture fit and raw problem-solving matter more than specific tech
• You’ve done time in consumer internet, fintech, or global tech firms — and you’ve got the scars (or badges) to show for it
• You treat GitHub like a second brain — show us what you’ve built
• Bonus points if you bring a touch of entrepreneurial spirit to the team

🌍 What You’ll Get:

• Join a tight-knit crew (<5 people) moving fast, working hard, and getting rewarded well for it
• A chance to build from scratch — real input, real ownership
• Remote-first setup with strong ties to Cape Town

Reference Number for this position is GZ60671 which is a permanent REMOTE position offering a cost to company salary from R1.0m to R1.4m per annum negotiable on experience and ability. Contact Garth on -merge.co.za or call him on to discuss this and other opportunities.
