Job Summary
Were on the hunt for a developer who can comfortably jump between frontend finesse backend logic and database wizardry - basically someone who doesnt panic when the stack gets a little tall.
Youll be building cool things people use (yes in production) taking ideas from this might work to this is live dont touch it on a Friday. Youll spend your time crafting slick interfaces wiring up powerful backend logic and making sure everything plays nicely together including those mysterious third-party integrations that occasionally have moods of their own.

Key Responsibilities:
- Turning product ideas and designs into real working features across the stack from shiny UI to the logic that makes it all tick
- Building smooth responsive interfaces using React 18 Vite TailwindCSS and shadcn/ui (Radix UI) and yes they should look as good in real life as they did in Figma
- Writing backend magic with js and Express creating APIs that are fast secure and dont randomly fall over
- Keeping frontend data under control with TanStack Query and making forms behave with React Hook Form Zod (because validation matters)
- Designing and maintaining clean efficient data structures in PostgreSQL writing SQL that doesnt make future-you cry
- Making sure everything is secure using tools like Helmet rate limiting and proper session handling (no just hope for the best approach here)
- Translating UI/UX into pixel-perfect builds using TailwindCSS Radix primitives with just enough Framer Motion to make things feel polished
- Handling navigation like a pro with React Router so users never feel lost
- Working with maps (Leaflet) and icons (Lucide) to keep things visually consistent and user-friendly
- Integrating with external services including payment flows (PayFast) and email systems (Nodemailer) and dealing with the chaos when third-party APIs feel unpredictable
- Managing file uploads (yes users upload anything) using Multer and keeping storage organised
- Keeping everything running smoothly in Docker with environments that actually behave the same locally staging and in production
- Helping push code to production via CI/CD (GitHub Actions) without breaking everything on a Friday afternoon
- Debugging weird mysterious issues the kind where you say that doesnt make sense at least twice
- Refactoring older code to make it cleaner faster and less confusing for the next person
- Writing commit messages that future developers will silently thank you for
- Quietly making sure good security and engineering practices are followed across the board
Job Experience and Skills Required:
- Have at least a couple of years of real-world development experience under your belt.
- Have built products that actual humans use (and occasionally complain about).
- Can take a feature from great idea to its live without needing a weekly motivational speech.
- Understand that Git is for version control not for creating 146 branches nobody will ever merge.
- Enjoy solving problems and dont immediately declare bankruptcy when faced with an unfamiliar issue.
- Can work independently but also know when to ask for help before accidentally reinventing Google.
- Communicate technical concepts without sounding like a malfunctioning Stack Overflow post.
- Give constructive feedback during code reviews and dont take feedback personally when its your turn.
- Stay curious about new tools and technologies without feeling compelled to rewrite everything every six months.
- Take ownership meet commitment
