Profile match
Profile Personnel is an independently owned executive recruitment and HR solutions firm headquartered in East London, South Africa, providing recruitment and selection, payroll services, industrial relations and labour consulting, time and attendance, verification and personality testing. Founded in October 1997, it serves clients locally and nationally and lists contact numbers for Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Gqeberha and Bloemfontein. Its vacancies, placed on behalf of client companies, include sales representatives, diesel mechanics and electricians, accountants and financial managers, quantity surveyors, software developers and process and quality engineers.
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)
