A healthcare organisation in Cape Town is looking for a Mobile App Developer to join its technical team on a major systems-renewal project. The work is cross-platform web and mobile applications built with Angular and Capacitor on the Ionic UI framework.

You’ll design, develop, test and deploy enterprise and client-facing applications where the user experience genuinely matters — these are apps that support clinical work, not internal tooling nobody sees.

What you’ll do

• Develop and maintain cross-platform web and mobile applications for Android and iOS using Angular and Capacitor with Ionic
• Build responsive, high-performance UI components using Angular best practice
• Write high-quality, reusable, well-documented code and related test scripts
• Apply object-oriented principles so the code stays scalable and maintainable
• Debug, test and optimise for both web and mobile
• Work closely with backend teams to integrate REST APIs
• Generate and manage builds in Android Studio and Xcode, and publish to the Google Play and Apple App stores
• Provide estimates, deliver on time, review code and support applications as escalated from operational teams

What you’ll need

• At least 5 years of mobile development experience
• Solid experience with recent Angular
• Hands-on Capacitor and Ionic
• Experience building and deploying both Android and iOS apps
• Good understanding of mobile UI/UX design principles
• Ability to troubleshoot mobile-specific performance and compatibility issues
• Knowledge of security best practice, and a comprehensive understanding of Agile/Scrum
• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or a related field, or equivalent qualification
• Strong written and verbal communication in English

Nice to have

• CouchDB or equivalent for offline access
• Git, Jenkins, Docker, Flyway and Jira
• KeyCloak setup and integration
• Experience with, or interest in, building on native AWS services
• Strong time and complexity estimation
