Job Mail is a South African online job board offering a large selection of vacancies across the country and some positions abroad. Job seekers can search and apply for jobs online, upload a CV and receive job alerts, while employers and recruitment agencies can advertise positions to a broad national audience. The brand is one of the longer-established names in South African job advertising and is operated from South Africa.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of professional software development experience across the full stack
  • Strong proficiency in at least one modern backend language/framework (Python, Ruby, Node.js, Go, C#, Java, or similar) with a demonstrated ability to pick up new stacks quickly
  • Hands-on frontend experience building user-facing applications - not just internal tooling or admin dashboards. You should be comfortable with modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (React preferred)
  • Solid relational database skills (PostgreSQL preferred) including schema design, query optimization, and data modeling
  • Experience building net-new product features from scratch, not solely migrating or upgrading existing systems
  • A user-centric design sensibility - you think about how operators will actually use the system, not just whether the code compiles
  • Comfort with ambiguity: you can take a loosely defined problem, propose a solution, and drive it to completion with minimal hand-holding

Strongly Preferred:

  • Experience with Python and/or Java (our primary backend languages) and React (our frontend framework)
  • Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and tools - whether that’s using LLMs to augment development workflows, building AI-powered features, or integrating with third-party AI APIs
  • Experience working in a startup or small-team environment (sub-50 engineers) where you owned features end-to-end rather than working within a single layer of a large system
  • Background in data-intensive applications: ETL pipelines, data normalization, or working with messy real-world datasets
  • Exposure to the restaurant, food & beverage, or supply chain vertical is a plus but not required

You don’t need to know all of these coming in, but this is what you’ll be working with:

  • Backend: Python, Java, Django
  • Frontend: React, TypeScript
  • Database: PostgreSQL, MongoDB
  • Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Docker
  • Data & Integrations: Invoice OCR, distributor and accounting APIs, point-of-sale system integrations
  • Tools: GitHub, Salesforce (CRM)

Note: Please ensure that you attach a certified copy of your ID and Qualification to be considered for this position.

Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Should you not receive a response within 14 days please consider your application unsuccessful. We will keep your CV on our database for any other relevant roles that may arise.
