Job description

Senior Software Developer - Cape Town (2 days in office) - Up to R125,000 CTC + 15% Bonus

Ada Meher are partnered with a global enterprise SaaS business in the automotive space that’s currently building out its Cape Town engineering hub. They’re looking to bring in Senior Software Developers who want to stay hands-on and play a key role in shaping a large, data-driven platform used worldwide.

This is a genuinely senior, delivery-focused role ideal for someone who enjoys designing solutions, writing high-quality code, and having a real influence on how a product evolves.

You’ll be reporting into a locally based Lead Developer while working very closely with UK-based Product and Engineering teams. Together, you’ll be building and evolving a large-scale Automotive Intelligence Platform used by retailers and OEMs across global markets.

This isn’t a role where you disappear into meetings or spend your days reviewing other people’s pull requests. You’ll be hands‑on throughout the full software development lifecycle, from initial design and architecture through to build, integration, deployment, and ongoing improvement.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and delivering new features and enhancements across a complex SaaS platform
• Building and maintaining integrations with third‑party systems and APIs
• Contributing to architecture and technical decision‑making alongside senior peers
• Writing clean, scalable, and well‑tested code that holds up at enterprise scale
• Modernising legacy code
• Working closely with Product, QA, and Engineering colleagues across regions
• Helping uphold and improve engineering standards, practices, and code quality
• Supporting a growing engineering hub as it matures and scales

The Tech Environment

• C# and .NET / .NET Core
• SQL / T-SQL
• Azure (cloud services, hosting, integrations)
• APIs and system integrations within a SaaS environment

What They’re Looking For

• Strong commercial experience as a Senior Software Developer
• Deep hands‑on knowledge of C#, .NET and SQL (optimization, stored procedures, SQL profiler)
• Experience building or supporting scalable SaaS or enterprise‑scale platforms
• Solid experience working with Azure‑hosted applications
• Proven background building APIs and third‑party integrations
• Comfortable contributing across backend and frontend when needed with Razor
• Someone who enjoys ownership, problem‑solving, and working at scale
• Experience working with distributed or international, large teams is a bonus
