Role description

Join Limitless Virtual Security and help evolve CASI, our high-availability emergency dispatch platform used by security, roadside, and public service organisations across South Africa and beyond. As a Senior Backend Developer, you'll be at the forefront of architecting and building features in Laravel, working within a Kubernetes-hosted AWS environment, and enhancing our real-time systems using Websockets and gRPC.

You'll be part of a cross-functional team, collaborating on frontend (VueJS), mobile (Kotlin, Obj-C), and infrastructure projects. Your expertise in Laravel, PostgreSQL, Docker, and AWS services will be crucial as we scale nationally and internationally. You'll have the opportunity to work on event-driven architectures, develop robust APIs, and optimize our CI/CD processes.

We offer a on-site environment from Pretoria with a Cape Town-based tech lead. You'll have the chance to solve real-world safety and emergency response problems, work alongside a highly technical team in a startup-led culture, and shape the future of dispatch tech. Join us in this high-impact role where you'll have ownership over features and systems, and be part of a team that values performance, reliability, and operational excellence.
