Job description

Our client is a growing technology company that revolutionises mining logistics across South Africa. Their platform connects mines and hauliers, automating vehicle tracking, order management and weighbridge operations using NFC technology and IoT devices integrated with AWS Cloud.

They are seeking developers who genuinely love coding and continuously upskill themselves. Their collaborative environment encourages innovation, includes developers in technical decisions and supports both hybrid and in-office work arrangements. They invest in learning opportunities for those willing to put in effort, and because their clients operate 24 / 7, they value team members who can occasionally assist with critical support.

Role Overview

Our client is seeking an Intermediate React Developer to specialise in building desktop applications that bridge the digital and physical worlds of mining operations. You will develop cross-platform desktop solutions using React within the Electron framework for mining management, analytics dashboards and operational control systems that integrate with our client’s Node.js APIs to deliver real-time functionality across remote mining locations.

This role focuses specifically on desktop application development rather than traditional web development. You will be working primarily with React to build native-like desktop experiences, learning and mastering the Electron framework to package these applications for Windows, macOS and Linux environments.

This role requires keeping pace with evolving frameworks like React and Electron, whilst maintaining applications that handle critical mining operations. You will work across their tech stack, ensuring their desktop solutions remain current with the latest platform updates and security requirements.

Their core values include Focus on the Mission, Respect, Excellence, Integrity and working as One Team.

  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript, HTML, CSS and solid understanding of React principles including hooks, context API and component lifecycle
  • Experience integrating with RESTful APIs and JWT token authentication
  • Proficient with Git version control systems (GitHub experience preferred)
  • Understanding that this role focuses on desktop applications rather than traditional web development
  • Willingness and enthusiasm to specialise in desktop application development using the Electron framework
  • Demonstrated capability in implementing responsive designs and optimising applications for performance
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills with attention to detail
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with Electron framework, including main and renderer processes, IPC communication and native module integration
  • Familiarity with SQL Server T-SQL for database interaction
  • Experience with automated testing frameworks (Playwright, Jest or similar)
  • Understanding of offline-capable desktop applications and data synchronisation
  • Experience with application packaging and distribution across multiple platforms
  • Familiarity with Agile development methodologies
  • Challenges and Opportunities

  • Technical Variety : Work across diverse technologies including desktop applications, real-time data systems and hardware integrations, providing exposure to the full technology stack
  • Real-World Impact : Build applications that directly affect mining operations, with immediate visibility of how your code performs in industrial environments
  • Growth Environment : Join a rapidly expanding company entering new markets (Namibia and Botswana), with opportunities to shape desktop development practices
  • Complex Problem Solving : Navigate multi-site environments where precision and efficiency are critical, developing skills in robust, scalable solutions
  • Collaborative Support : Occasionally provide critical after-hours support as part of a shared team responsibility, ensuring our 24 / 7 mining operations remain operational
  • Cultural Fit

    The ideal candidate will :

  • Be passionate about coding and continuously self-learn through tutorials, courses and personal projects outside of work hours
  • Be excited about transitioning from traditional web development to desktop applications using React and Electron
  • Take initiative in problem-solving, attempting solutions independently before seeking assistance from team members
  • Embrace collaboration and knowledge sharing, contributing to our collective technical growth
  • View development as more than just a day job, continuously evolving your skills and expertise in desktop technologies
  • Adapt positively to changing priorities and evolving project requirements
  • Be willing to share in team responsibilities, including occasional after-hours support when needed
  • Work Arrangement :

    This is a full-time, hybrid position requiring two days per week in our Lonehill, Sandton office (currently Tuesday and Thursday, subject to change). They offer a flexible schedule based on a standard eight-hour day.

    You may adjust your start and end times to suit your commute; however, all team members are required to be available for collaboration during our client’s core hours of 8 : 00 AM to 3 : 00 PM, regardless of whether you are in the office or working remotely.

    Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain high-performance desktop applications using React within the Electron framework for mining operations management
  • Build reusable, scalable React components and user interfaces with modern CSS frameworks
  • Integrate with Node.js APIs to deliver real-time functionality across remote mining sites
  • Learn and apply Electron-specific concepts including main and renderer processes, IPC communication and native module integration
  • Write clean, maintainable code following best practices and company standards
  • Collaborate with UX / UI designers and backend developers to ensure seamless user experiences and system integration
  • Keep applications current with platform updates, ensuring compliance with Windows, macOS and Linux requirements as they evolve
  • Participate in code reviews and contribute to improving development processes
  • Stay current with React and desktop development trends to enhance our client’s application
  • Benefits
