Junior Software Developer

Summary

Build and maintain full-stack web applications using C#/.NET or Java, SQL databases, and occasionally cloud tools; collaborate in a team to deliver features and debug issues.

We are looking for a passionate and driven Junior Software Developer to join our team in Gqeberha. This is an ideal opportunity for a recent university graduate or a developer with up to 3 years of experience looking to accelerate their career.

We are looking for people who take pride in their work, enjoy working with a team and are eager to learn and grow.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with the team to design, develop and maintain software.
  • Work across the full stack, implementing features from the database level through to the frontend UI.
  • Participate in code reviews, learn from other developers and contribute to technical discussions.
  • Debug and troubleshoot issues in existing software applications.
  • Continuously learn new technologies and apply them to client challenges.

Basic Qualifications

  • To be successful in this role, you need a solid grounding in software engineering principles and specific technologies:
  • You must understand Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and basic Relational Database Design (how tables link together).
  • A strong understanding of how web applications work from front to back (full-stack developer).
  • Experience in C# (.NET Framework/.NET Core) or Java.
  • You must be comfortable writing SQL queries and working with SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MySQL.

Additional

Nice to Have

  • Experience or familiarity with Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or Google Cloud).
  • Exposure to containerisation tools like Docker.
  • Understanding of version control (Git).

Who We Are Looking For

  • You genuinely enjoy coding. You likely have side projects or a history of tinkering with tech outside of class requirements.
  • You understand that good software is built by teams, not individuals. You are open to feedback and eager to help others.
  • You take ownership of your learning. When you don't know the answer, you dig until you find it.

Please note:

Only short-listed candidates will be contacted for this role.
