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.

You'll develop complex stored procedures, functions and queries that support our mobile apps, web platforms and real-time hardware integrations across 50+ remote mining sites.

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.

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

  • Growth Environment : Join a rapidly expanding company entering new markets (Namibia and Botswana), with opportunities to shape database development practices
  • Complex Problem Solving : Navigate multi-site environments where precision and efficiency are critical, developing skills in robust, scalable database 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 :

  • 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
  • Be willing to share in team responsibilities, including occasional after-hours support when needed
  • Adapt positively to changing priorities and evolving project requirements
  • View development as more than just a day job, continuously evolving your skills and expertise
  • Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain complex stored procedures, functions and queries to support front-end teams including mobile, web and cloud applications
  • Analyse and optimise existing SQL code to enhance performance and ensure efficient data handling across remote mining sites
  • Design, develop and deploy SSRS reports to meet business requirements and operational needs
  • Collaborate with the development team to ensure seamless integration between applications and the database
  • Work with stakeholders to understand business requirements and propose SQL Server-based solutions
  • Develop detailed technical documentation outlining proposed solutions, including design rationale, implementation steps and potential risks
  • Present proposed solutions clearly, explaining the approach and seeking approval before implementation
  • Provide support for database-related issues, ensuring high availability and reliability across all platforms
  • Effectively manage workloads and deliver high-quality solutions under pressure and within tight deadlines
