We're looking for senior developers to join our team in helping further our SaaS platform for the agricultural sector. We are an emerging AgTech startup with a fully remote software development team, working across South Africa.

Our team comprises seasoned full-stack professionals, many of whom have extensive tenures. Meaning the code base is well understood and you can expect to be given the necessary support that will allow you to work on all parts of our platform.

Our hiring approach values overall development expertise and experience over specific skills, languages, or library knowledge. Most importantly, we seek individuals who find joy in building things and derive deep satisfaction from seeing their creations deliver real value to others.

To offer insight into the nature of our projects, the following areas outline the problem sets related to our core business domains. While expertise in these is not mandatory, they represent the scope of challenges you may encounter:
