Job description

Overview

Century City, Cape Town | On-site

Competitive Salary

Build Tomorrow. Today.

We’re on the lookout for a code-slinging AI & Automation Developer who’s as comfortable crafting elegant frontends as they are wrangling Kubernetes clusters or plugging in machine learning models.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill dev gig. You’ll be shaping full-stack apps that fuse brains (AI) with brawn (automation) and your code will directly power smarter, faster, better ways of working across industries.

If you’re the kind of developer who thrives on experimentation, loves mentoring juniors and wants to ship stuff that actually makes an impact – we should talk.

What You Bring

• 5+ years as a full-stack developer, scaling web-based systems.
• Strong chops in:
• • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JS + React/Vue/Angular.
  • Backend: Node.js, Express, Python (Flask, FastAPI, Django).
• Experience with REST APIs, microservices, cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Docker & Kubernetes mastery.
• Confidence with Git workflows and CI/CD.
• Bonus points if you’ve plugged AI/ML models into apps before.
• A Computer Science degree (or equivalent experience that screams "I can do this").
• Solid communication skills + a touch of leadership instinct.

What You’ll Do

• Architect & Build: Design scalable full-stack apps with AI and automation baked in.
• AI Magic: Integrate NLP, computer vision, predictive models, and more into real-time applications.
• Mentor Mode: Share wisdom with juniors through reviews, pair programming, and coaching.
• DevOps Drive: Build slick CI/CD pipelines to ship with speed and confidence.
• Container Life: Run Docker + Kubernetes to keep services resilient.
• Data Brain: Work across SQL and NoSQL (Postgres, MongoDB, Redis).
• Security First: Lock everything down with OAuth, JWT, and best practices.
• Collaborate: Partner with stakeholders to turn ideas into working, world-class software.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Work on projects that push the limits of AI + automation.
• Be part of a team that values curiosity, experimentation, and bold ideas.
• Shape engineering culture while mentoring others.
• Build cool stuff that doesn’t just sit in a repo — it changes how people work.

If you’re an AI-savvy Full Stack Dev who wants to code the future (and have fun doing it), hit apply.

Bring your brain, your curiosity and your best code. The future’s waiting.
