We Want You

Join our team at our Head Office in Durban and contribute to building Premium Software Solutions that make a real impact. We’re looking for an Intermediate React Developer who is passionate about next-generation technologies, thrives in dynamic environments and has experience in designing, coding and maintaining complex applications.

In this role, you'll provide technical leadership, mentor junior developers and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions. You’ll be at the forefront of crafting premium products that ignite innovation and propel the business forward. Ready to tackle exciting challenges and grow with a forward-thinking, supportive team?

Your expertise can define what’s next, join us and make your mark!

You Bring:

• At least 3 - 5 years’ experience within a development environment (advantageous).

• 2 - 5 years database experience and 3 - 5 years server/client-side languages (advantageous).

• Good written and verbal communication skills.

• Strong attention to detail.

What You’ll Do:

Perform Planning

• Identify and establish objectives for self and team.

• Work on objectives or goals within timeline.

• Consider all reasonable factors, impediments and obstacles.

• Identify potential alternative strategies and refactor approach for maximum benefit within the shortest possible time.

Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Functionally Complete

• Deliver a solution which covers all the agreed specified tasks and user objectives.

• Deliver a correct solution which provides the correct results with the needed degree of precision.

• Ensure checked-in code is reviewed to ensure standards are met.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution is Reliable

• Ensure the solution performs appropriately under agreed conditions for extended periods of time without the need for intervention (despite potential attacks).

• Ensure all steps are taken to reduce the occurrence of faults due to misunderstood requirements, design errors, and implementation errors.

• Ensure the solution is robust and remains continually available.

• Respond to outages and failures when and where needed.

• Improve fault tolerance even when operational conditions are not optimal.

• Ensure complete data recoverability so that data may be recovered, and the desired state of the solution can be re-established (despite potential attacks).

• Ensure the solution is maintainable and actively seek methods to reduce down-time. Ensure the solution is durable so that as user volumes and requirements change the solution can evolve over the long term.

• Ensure the solution simplifies support and maintenance support through traceability, and effective error messaging.

• Ensure over time, the solution becomes more mature where the interval between the interventions to remain operational become less frequent.

• Ensure in the event of a failure reduce effective downtime is to the minimum possible.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution has Effective Security

• Ensure the solution is secure and confidential by protecting all information and data (also data transmission).

• Ensure persons or other solutions have the degree of access appropriate to their level of authorization and types.

• Ensure the solution has high integrity where the solution prevents unauthorised access to, modification of computer programs, data, or settings.

• Ensure the solution has a high degree of survivability despite third-party interventions (attacks, human errors, hardware or software faults).

• Employ logs and records so that actions and events can be proven to have taken place and cannot be disputed/repudiated later.

• Ensure wherever possible actions can be traced uniquely to the entity which performed it.

• Ensure wherever possible the identity of an entity can be proved to be the correct one.

Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Maintainable

• Ensure the solution and its relevant code base supports ease of modification for future maintainers.

• Ensure the use of appropriate standards and methods.

• Ensure where possible (without affecting performance/security) the solution caters for maintenance by support teams rather than developers.

• Ensure modularity where the solution consists of discrete components so that a change in one component has minimal impact on other components.

• Ensure relevant documentation is provided to support teams to reduce development support burden.

• Apply a strategy of reusability so an asset can be used in more than one solution or in building other assets.

• Where possible provide a mechanism for the solution to analyse its own faults and provide reports prior to a critical failure.

• Develop the solution in a manner which supports modification for future developers thereby reducing the numbers of defects or negatively affecting system quality.

Verify Deployed Solutions

• Ensure the solution is delivered completely and with the additional assets which are required to make installation/deployment as seamless and easy as possible.

• Ensure the adaptable solution delivered is appropriate for different or evolving software or other operational usage environments.

Respond to Outages & Failures

• Provide proactive support to Peers, Testing, Dev Support and Operational teams so number of escalations to the development team is reduced, thereby maximising development time.

• Provide support to Dev Support when required during operational events and create or assist with the creation of SOPs.

• Be available to handle emergency outages and failures for your or your teams’ solutions.

• Perform troubleshooting and effectively resolve issues to increase solution stability and reduce intervention required over time.

• Recommend and execute approved improvements to development methods and solutions.

• Provide quick resolutions to app/system issues, driving stability, efficiency and effectiveness.

• Support solutions which have completed development and are in the operations phase.

• Develop and maintain technical support documentation.

• Assess risk and impact of production issues/changes and take appropriate steps to mitigate risk.

Direct 3rd Party Development Partners

• When required supply appropriate information, domain knowledge and access to partners.

• Provide timely, relevant and constructive feedback to assist the partner to achieve success.

• Take corrective action when deviation from the plan is observed.

• Take all appropriate steps to ensure organisational success.

• Engages in cross-functional collaboration and problem solving whilst encourages a culture of inclusivity.

• Actively drives a culture of versatility and adaptability by modelling and encouraging team members to support each other not only within the department, but within BET Software as a whole.

• Shows up in an authentic manner and leverages off the team’s diversity to achieve deliverables.

• Views challenges as opportunities to expand on their knowledge base as well as encourages junior team members to do the same and takes a creative approach to overcoming the challenges.
