Job Description - Senior .NET MAUI Developer (Android Terminal Application)

The role

You'll be one of two developers building a new Android terminal application from the ground up, targeting PAX payment devices in a fuel forecourt environment. The application consolidates fleet card processing, mobile money, cash handling, shift management and attendant management into a single terminal app.

This is a small, senior team working in an AI-assisted development model - Claude and Cursor are core to how we build, not an optional extra. You will be expected to work at a pace that model enables, and to bring the engineering judgement that makes it safe.

Responsibilities

• Design and build the terminal application in .NET MAUI, targeting Android on PAX hardware

• Integrate with payment, fleet and mobile money backends, and with PAX device SDKs (card readers, printers, peripherals)

• Own features end-to-end, from spec conversation through to on-device testing

• Test on physical PAX terminals at the Cape Town offices

• Contribute to architecture and technical direction — this is not a ticket-taking role

Must have

• Strong commercial .NET / C# experience

• Proven .NET MAUI or Xamarin.Forms delivery - real shipped applications, not tutorials

• Android platform experience, including native interop and working with hardware SDKs

• Practical, daily use of AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot or similar) with a clear view of where they help and where they don't

• Ability to work independently against loosely defined requirements and move fast without breaking things

• Able to travel to Cape Town for periodic on-site testing

Advantageous

• Payments, POS or terminal application experience (EMV, ISO 8583, PCI)

• PAX, Ingenico, Verifone or similar device SDK experience

• Fuel forecourt or retail automation background

• Offline-first / intermittent connectivity application design

• CI/CD for Android deployment

Who this suits

Someone who is self-driven, comfortable with ambiguity, and enjoys building something new with a small team and short feedback loops. If you need a fully specified backlog to be productive, this isn't the right fit.
