Junior Developer

Looking for your next move as a Junior Developer in Thohoyandou? A role has just opened that gives you real responsibility and a clear path forward in Limpopo.

The Role

The Junior Developer vacancy forms part of how the Thohoyandou 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 Limpopo make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Junior Developer to step into the it jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

Diversity and Inclusion

Importantly, 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.

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

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.

Where You’ll Work

Equally, the environment is hybrid-friendly where the role allows, with collaborative tooling, modern source-control workflows and a strong emphasis on shared ownership of code and incidents.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Thohoyandou site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Limpopo. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Write clean, testable code that follows the team’s coding standards
• Design, develop and maintain features across the application stack
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical design discussions
• Automate repetitive operational tasks using scripts and tooling
• Maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams and runbooks
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and structured feedback
• Monitor system health using observability tools and respond to alerts

What You’ll Need

• Relevant IT qualification (degree, diploma or recognised certifications)
• Hands-on experience with relational and NoSQL databases
• Experience with Git, branching strategies and pull-request workflows
• Good written and verbal communication for technical and non-technical audiences
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
• Understanding of secure development principles aligned with POPIA

Candidates who meet most of these criteria are welcome to be considered for the role.
