Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Jbedeker Full time R54 000 - R90 000 per year
Squint your eyes This is a rare opportunity for a Senior Developer to earn in US dollars while working in a flexible hybrid model based in the heart of Cape Town, building across tech stacks while owning commercial outcomes and architecting large-scale systems.

The Company:

A rapidly growing African scale-up improving everyday lives by providing access to solar energy and smartphones through innovative financing, in-house technology, and broad distribution networks across the continent.

What's in it for you?

This is your opportunity to step into a career enhancing opportunity purpose-led business that combines the stability of a large organisation with the agility of a small team, where you are trusted with meaningful responsibility from Day 1 in a high-expectation, high-support culture. Enjoy additional benefits such as share options, travel opportunities, hybrid flexibility and annual team retreats.

Your Responsibilities?
  • Build across tech stacks: Develop cloud services in AWS with terraform and Python, develop multiple custom front-ends with various Javascript frameworks, native Android, and maintain several app builds in Zoho Creator with Deluge. You will build across the ecosystem, meaning you'll become a versatile, cross-functional engineer.
  • Own commercial outcomes: The role is not about coding all day. You'll be expected to own business outcomes and do work beyond software to make things happen.
  • Empathize with end users: You'll be expected to understand the needs of 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.
  • Coach & manage others: A talented, enthusiastic team of devs could use your guidance and mentorship. Use your experience to improve standard practices, coach others, and build developer culture.
  • Advise on architecture & devops: You'll take a front-row seat in the architecture of new and existing systems, helping design them for long-term resilience and efficiency.
 What would make you ideal for the position?
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in programming languages such as JavaScript, Python, or similar. Requirement to be familiar with at least one backend framework such as FastAPI, including managing database, compute, and external integrations. Familiarity with front-end frameworks like Vue or UX design experience is a strong plus.
  • Technical Architecture: Demonstrated ability to design web and native apps with complex external integrations for resilience and efficiency.
  • Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and a collaborative mindset.
  • Dev Ops: Familiarity with test-driven development, cloud architecture (AWS a plus), and building strong developer workflows.
  • Experience: 6+ years of relevant experience in software development.
The Offer:
  • A USD-denominated monthly salary ($4,500 +), converted to ZAR (Offer will be market related, based on qualifications, skills and experience)
