Senior Software Developer (Infrastructure)

About Doveforge Computer Services

Started by a former school district network admin in 2007, the business has grown almost entirely through referrals. Our bench is in the back of a strip-mall storefront, where we image laptops and swap failed drives. Lunch is usually whatever is closest to the client site.

The role

Doveforge Computer Services is hiring for the Senior Software Developer (Infrastructure) role on our operations team. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. This role is fully remote within South Africa. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async.

Day to day

• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.

What we're looking for

• 7+ years of professional software development experience.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.

Preferred

• Kubernetes and Docker in production.
• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Prior work at an early-stage startup.

Why work with us

• Data allowance.
• Provident fund.
• Medical aid contribution.

Start: Immediately.
