What We’re Looking For:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in Java development
  • Strong proficiency in Spring Boot and microservices architecture
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices
  • A proactive, solutions-driven mindset-this is a build, not maintain, environment
  • Passion for scalable systems, clean architecture, and meaningful product development
  • South African

Why This Role?

  • Join a confidential yet high-profile digital transformation project
  • Influence architecture and technical decisions from the start
  • Work with a team that values innovation, quality, and collaboration
