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.

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.
