We’re looking for a strong Full-Stack Python/Django Developer to join a global industrial services organisation. You’ll form part of a small Digital Transformation department, working directly with the Digital Transformation Manager as their second-in-command.

This role is perfect for someone who is self-driven, creative, and able to turn ideas into working, production-ready solutions. Your work will be a mix of 80% hands‑on development and 20% project coordination and technical leadership. You won’t need industry knowledge, but you will need excellent programming skills, solid data analysis ability, and strong Excel capability.

Area: Elandsfontein, Gauteng.

Salary: R40,000 CTC per month (includes 65% Medical Aid contribution).

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Build, improve, and maintain full‑stack applications using Python, Django, and modern frontend tools.
• Turn high‑level ideas into practical, workable solutions and explain what is possible from a technical perspective.
• Work closely with the Digital Transformation Manager to plan and deliver digital projects.
• Manage project progress, documentation, scheduling, and communication when required.
• Analyse data, create reports, and support the business with insights when needed.
• Develop integrations with Microsoft technologies (Azure, SharePoint/OneDrive, Power BI, Microsoft Graph).
• Ensure high-quality code through proper testing, reviews, and best practices.
• Support deployment pipelines, background task handling, and environment setup.
• Assist with on‑site implementation and visit sites using the pool vehicle when necessary.
• Travel internationally on rare occasions for project‑related work.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience delivering production Python/Django applications.
• Strong experience with Django REST Framework.
• Solid SQL skills, preferably with PostgreSQL.
• Frontend development experience with React or Vue, TypeScript, and a CSS framework.
• Strong Excel skills and solid data analysis ability.
• Experience with Docker, Git, CI/CD pipelines, and background task systems (Celery/Redis or RQ).
• Experience with Azure Entra ID SSO, OAuth2/JWT, and access control.
• Exposure to Azure services and Microsoft Graph API.
• Strong testing discipline (PyTest/unit test) and code‑quality tooling.
• Excellent problem‑solving ability and a strong technical mindset.
• Clear communicator, comfortable working with only one direct colleague in the department.
• Able to work independently, manage priorities, and take ownership of delivery.
• Creative thinker who enjoys exploring new ideas and possibilities (“head in the clouds” mindset).
• Open to all race and gender groups (C‑Band role).

Nice-to-Have:

• Power BI reporting experience.
• Azure DevOps pipelines or Kubernetes (AKS).
• Experience with OCR, document processing, or advanced PDF/Excel handling.
• Experience in any industrial or services environment (not required).

If you’re a hands‑on developer who loves building real solutions, enjoys creative problem‑solving, and wants a role with both independence and influence, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and help drive digital transformation in a growing global environment.
