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.

This role requires designing robust database solutions that handle critical mining operations data, working closely with their development team to ensure seamless integration between applications and their SQL Server databases hosted on AWS RDS. You'll collaborate across their tech stack, ensuring the database solutions remain performant, reliable and scalable as they expand into new markets.

  • View development as more than just a day job, continuously evolving your skills and expertise
