Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Capitalh Full time R250 000 - R500 000 per year

Our client is a tech start-up making life better for everyday households in Africa and is looking for a Junior level Software Developer at their offices in Cape Town, South Africa.

The role is multifaceted in that it involves far more than pure software development. We are looking for a candidate with rigorous and structural thought, and the discipline to deliver exceptional tech projects, but with an interest in learning business, finance and operations.

As a Junior Developer you will:

  • Build across our tech stacks: Develop our cloud services in AWS, largely in Python, develop multiple custom front ends with various Javascript frameworks, and maintain several app builds in Zoho Creator with Deluge. When you join the company, you'll build across our ecosystem, meaning you'll become a versatile, cross-functional engineer.
  • Own commercial outcomes: Being a developer at the company is not about coding all day. You'll be expected to own business outcomes and do work beyond software to make things happen. What good is code if it does not provide value for us or our customers?
  • Empathise with end users: You'll be expected to understand the needs of our customers and users—usually people in-country that have very different experiences of technology than you do. This will require empathy, patience, and the ability to challenge your own assumptions about how technology should work.

Ideal Background

  • Education:
    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience:
    • 0–3 years of relevant experience in software development
  • Technical Skills:
    • Proficiency in programming languages such as JavaScript, Python, or similar. Familiarity with front-end frameworks like Vue or UX design experience is a plus.
  • Soft Skills:
    • Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and a collaborative mindset.

Skills you will use and develop:

  • Commercial Effectiveness
  • Front-end Development & Quasar)
  • Backend Development (FastAPI)
  • AWS
  • User Experience Design

General:

  • We are committed to fair and inclusive hiring. All suitably qualified applicants are welcome to apply.
  • Preference may be given in line with our client's Employment Equity plan and applicable legislation.
  • Applicants must have the legal right to work in South Africa at the time of application.
  • Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. If you do not hear from us within 30 days, please consider your application unsuccessful.
  • Please include your current remuneration (CTC), salary expectation, and notice period (optional but helpful for screening).
  • By applying, you consent to the processing of your personal information for recruitment purposes in accordance with POPIA.
