Job Summary

Software Engineer (Python (FastAPI), JavaScript/TypeScript (React) & PostgreSQL) (DBN Hybrid/Remote)

IT - Software Development Durban - KwaZulu Natal - South Africa, Remote

ENVIRONMENT:

IF you have a keen interest in EdTech & get excited by the prospect of taking a user problem and owning the solution from concept to deployment, then an innovative, AI-powered Educational Platform wants you as its next Software Engineer. The role will be a blend of product thinking and Engineering execution where you will write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code for both Frontend and Backend systems. Working closely with both the Founder & the Design team, you will help translate complex user needs and pedagogical concepts into robust technical solutions with the opportunity to have a tangible, lasting impact on the lives of students across Africa. Applicants will require at least 1 year of professional experience building and shipping web applications, with a GitHub profile or portfolio to show for it. Your tech toolset should include Python (FastAPI), JavaScript/TypeScript (React), and PostgreSQL. Any experience with Docker and Event-driven Architectures will prove hugely beneficial.

DUTIES:

Full-Stack Contribution: Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code for both Frontend and Backend systems.

Technical Collaboration: Work closely with the Founder and Design team to translate complex user needs and pedagogical concepts into robust technical solutions.

Maintaining Quality: Uphold and improve Engineering standards by participating in code reviews, writing technical documentation, and helping to manage the CI/CD pipelines.

Problem Solving: Debug and resolve technical issues across the stack, ensuring the platform remains reliable and performant for students.

REQUIREMENTS:

You have at least 1 year of professional experience building and shipping web applications, with a GitHub profile or portfolio to show for it.

You have strong proficiency in our stack: Python (FastAPI), JavaScript/TypeScript (React), and PostgreSQL. Experience with Docker and Event-driven Architectures is a major plus.

You are a fast learner who excels at mastering new tools and technologies in a dynamic environment.

You actively leverage AI tools as a force multiplier in your daily workflow to maintain high velocity and code quality.

What Will Make You Stand Out:

Previous experience working in an EdTech or a high-growth startup environment.

You have personally built and deployed an end-to-end web application, giving you a holistic understanding of the entire stack.

ATTRIBUTES:

Mission-Driven: You're passionate about our goal to improve education and are motivated by the unique challenges within the South African context.

High-Ownership: You thrive on autonomy and are excited by the prospect of taking a user problem and owning the solution from concept to deployment. You see your role as a blend of product thinking and engineering execution.

Pragmatic Problem-Solver: You build with empathy for the end-user and have a knack for turning complex pedagogical ideas into simple, effective technical solutions.
