ABOUT CENTRAX DIGITAL

Centrax Digital is an AI-first consulting and digital engineering firm operating from Bryanston, Sandton and Grand Prairie, Texas. We are a Level 1 B-BBEE, black woman-owned Advanced Zoho Partner. Our work spans AI and advisory, platforms, cloud and security, and digital engineering, delivered on our own published methodology. Because Innovation Matters.

THE ROLE

To build the custom components of Zoho One solutions to a technical brief from the Zoho Consultant or Solution Architect, and to own their technical quality through to production. You turn designs into working Creator applications, integrations, and migrations.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Build Zoho Creator applications end to end from a technical brief: data model, forms, pages, workflows, and client scripts.
• Write and maintain complex Deluge across the Zoho One suite: multi-module workflows, custom functions, and scheduled automation.
• Design and build integrations between Zoho and third-party systems using REST APIs, webhooks, and middleware where scoped.
• Design and execute data migrations: extraction, transformation, validation, load, and reconciliation, with a documented audit trail.
• Estimate custom build effort and flag technical risk on designs before build starts.
• Apply version control and code review discipline to all practice code, and unit test custom components before handover to UAT.
• Resolve custom-component defects raised in user acceptance testing and document the resolution.
• Produce technical documentation for every custom component: what it does, how it is configured, and how to maintain it.
• Contribute reusable components, functions, and patterns to the Zoho Practice Library.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Bachelor's degree or three-year diploma in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated development experience.
• Minimum 2 years' hands-on Deluge and Zoho Creator development experience.
• At least one integration between Zoho and a third-party system built and running in production.
• Working knowledge of REST API design and consumption, authentication patterns, webhooks, and middleware fundamentals.
• Version control discipline for Creator and Deluge code, code review practice, and unit and system testing of custom components.
• Zoho Creator Certified Developer certification preferred.
• Additional Zoho, API, or integration credentials are an advantage.
• Data migration experience into Zoho or a comparable SaaS platform is an advantage.
• Consulting or partner environment experience is an advantage.

WHERE THE BOUNDARIES SIT
