A Junior Developer position is being filled in Hermanus. Suitable candidates from across Western Cape are invited to submit their applications for review.
Overview
The Junior Developer vacancy forms part of how the Hermanus branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the it jobs side of the business moving forward.
Crucially, the organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Junior Developer taking on this position.
In addition, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Hermanus also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Day in the Life
Your day tends to start with a quick standup, where the team shares progress and surfaces blockers. From there, you settle into focused build time, breaking tickets into manageable chunks and pairing with colleagues when something gets thorny. Afternoons mix code reviews, planning discussions and the occasional production incident — everyone pulls together, fixes the issue and feeds the lessons back into the next sprint. By the time you sign off, you’ve shipped value, learned something new, and left clean code behind you.
Crucially, the Hermanus office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
