Senior Java Developer/ Architect - Stellenbosch - R1.02m per annum

Some heroes wear capes. Others write Java.

If you can tame legacy code, architect scalable systems, and know the difference between "it works" and "it's production-ready," then we need to talk.

Your Mission

• Transform complex business challenges into smart, scalable solutions.
• Build web and mobile applications that stand the test of time.
• Write clean, maintainable code your future teammates will thank you for.
• Lead architecture decisions and champion engineering best practices.
• Keep calm when production isn't.
• Turn great ideas into even better software—one commit at a time.

Your Tech Stack

If this list feels like home, you're probably who we're looking for:

• Java SE 8, 21 & 25
• Java EE 8
• EJB, JMS, JDBC & JNDI
• PostgreSQL
• Apache Kafka
• Docker
• Git
• Ubuntu
• JBoss Undertow
• GlassFish

What You Bring

• 10+ years of software development experience.
• 10+ years working with SQL (PostgreSQL gets bonus points).
• 5+ years building robust Java applications.
