Intermediate Electron / React Developer (Technology / Mining)

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

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.
