• Contribute to architectural decisions and technology choices.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3-5 years of professional experience in full-stack web development.
• Proficiency in front-end technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and at least one modern JS framework.
• Strong experience with back-end development (e.g., Node.js, Express, Django, Flask).
• Experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and/or NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and deployment practices.
• Understanding of version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for a remote setting.
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively.
• Experience with agile methodologies.
• Awareness of development best practices in locations like Mossel Bay, Western Cape can be beneficial.

• Our client provides a competitive salary, performance-based bonuses, and a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance and retirement contributions.
• Employees benefit from a culture that emphasizes continuous learning, professional growth, and work-life balance.
• We invest in our team's development through access to online courses, workshops, and conferences.
• Join a forward-thinking company that values innovation, collaboration, and the well-being of its remote workforce.
