Junior Developer

Listing live now. A Junior Developer position is being filled in Midrand. Suitable candidates from across Gauteng are invited to submit their applications for review.

The Role

The Junior Developer vacancy forms part of how the Midrand branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the it jobs side of the business moving forward.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the it jobs team in Gauteng make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the it jobs group in Midrand.

Meet the Team

Practically speaking, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Midrand office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Gauteng operations get busy.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.

Equal Opportunity

Crucially, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Midrand.

Growing With Us

This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the it jobs team in Midrand have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Midrand team member.
