Web Developer

Hands-on from day one, the Web Developer will build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate building, implement and manage cybersecurity controls and design, develop, test, and deploy software applications for a professional services firm in eMalahleni, Mpumalanga.

You will gain exposure to a broad range of tasks that build valuable experience. It is a busy, practical environment where no two days look quite the same. The team looks after its own and expects the same in return. Get in touch with your application and start the conversation.

Discretion and confidentiality are essential given the sensitive nature of the work.

Software Development & Architecture

• Participate actively in code reviews by examining peers' pull requests for logic errors, security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and adherence to coding standards, providing constructive feedback and suggesting alternative approaches where appropriate.
• Design and implement robust database schemas, stored procedures, indexing strategies, and query optimisation techniques to ensure efficient data retrieval and referential integrity across high-volume transactional and analytical reporting workloads.

Collaboration & Agile Delivery

• Work closely with product owners, UX designers, and quality assurance engineers throughout the development lifecycle to ensure features meet acceptance criteria, user experience standards, and non-functional performance and security requirements.
• Actively participate in all agile ceremonies including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospectives, contributing ideas and feedback to drive continuous improvement of team velocity and delivery predictability.
• Document technical architectures, system configurations, operational runbooks, and troubleshooting guides in the team knowledge base, and mentor junior developers through pair programming sessions and lunch-and-learn knowledge-sharing presentations.
• Maintain and enhance CI/CD pipelines to automate building, testing, security scanning, and deployment of application releases across development, staging, and production environments using tools such as Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions.

System Maintenance & Support

• Implement and maintain comprehensive data backup and disaster recovery solutions by scheduling regular full and incremental backups, testing restore procedures quarterly, and documenting recovery runbooks with step-by-step instructions for all mission-critical systems.
• Provide second and third-level technical support for complex hardware, software, and network issues escalated from the service desk, diagnosing root causes through systematic troubleshooting and implementing permanent resolutions within agreed service levels.
• Manage and monitor network infrastructure including routers, switches, firewalls, wireless access points, and VPN gateways, ensuring secure, stable, and high-performance connectivity across all office locations and for remote workers accessing corporate resources.
• Administer and maintain server infrastructure across Windows and Linux environments including operating system installation, routine patch management, performance monitoring, and proactive capacity planning to ensure high availability of critical business systems.

• A commitment to continuous learning and staying current with emerging technologies, industry trends, and best practices.
• Knowledge of cybersecurity principles and best practices, with certifications such as CompTIA Security+ or CISSP being advantageous.
• Strong communication skills to explain technical concepts to non-technical users and stakeholders clearly and patiently.
• Strong understanding of IT service management frameworks such as ITIL and experience with helpdesk and ticketing systems.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills to diagnose complex technical issues and identify root causes systematically.
• A minimum of three to five years of hands-on experience in the relevant IT discipline with proven successful project delivery.
• For cloud and DevOps roles, hands-on experience with AWS or Azure and proficiency in infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform.
