The majority of our development work is with Open Source such as PHP, Python, XML, Javascript, CSS and MySQL and also includes communications and networking tasks related to our voice/VOIP connectivity to telcos as well as the routing and firewall structure for our server farm. We are looking for a talented, proven web application developer with networking skills to join our team. * **We are looking for the following qualities in a candidate: *
- Interested in learning and have a creative mind that enjoys the challenges of application development - Gets excited about clean code but knows that ugly code is out there and dealing with it is a necessity sometimes - Enjoys client interaction and problem solving, in a passionate way. - Knows the tools of your trade - Wants to raise the skill level of the whole team, not just themselves - Has the ability to play well with others – we will be welcoming you into our team - Has the ability to work independently – coding, testing, gathering requirements, and communicating with clients - Knows the value of a great user experience when it comes to building applications - Accepts the fact that mistakes will be made and that every experience is an opportunity to get better and improve the working processes within the agency - Appreciates that meetings are necessary but detests unnecessarily long or unproductive ones. You can’t wait to leave a meeting and go back to writing code! - Knows that open, honest and productive communication is key to project success - Believes that working less hours smarter is better than working more hours harder - Knows that perfection may not be possible but aiming for excellence is realistic - Wants a full-time position in a growing company Are you an application developer who is savvy enough to deal with a ground-breaking mobile payment services company? We are that company. We are breaking new ground by introducing a fascinating range of mobile payments solutions and services. On any given day you could be part of a large team maintaining, implementing, troubleshooting or developing a new service or you may be “solo” coding feature enhancements or fixes for existing services. We thrive in a results oriented environment because our team is treated well and our clients/partners are treated even better. *What we need from you: * - Provable, quantifiable expertise as an application developer (code samples and/ or project descriptions) - Provable experience working on web application projects (work history) - Salary expectations. *What we don’t need from you: * - We don’t enjoy reading lists – especially not a list of the 50 technologies you know. If your resume doesn’t make it clear that you have focus on a specific web technology(s) then you’re just wasting both of our time sending us your CV – and nobody enjoys having their time wasted. - If you are looking to ladder climb and want to play politics this is also not the place for you. You are happy to work and are ready to address and solve problems as they arise. We do not pretend to know everything and mistakes are likely in every endeavor. *Where you will work: *You will be based at our offices in Kampala but may occasionally need to travel to other countries where we have operations and maybe also to our head office in South Africa. We dress down most of the time, but are always at our best in front of clients. We are professional and the management team is very hands on and engaged with the work that is done. We try very hard not to require more hours that are required of anyone and we strive to work 8.30 to 5.00 pm every day with a one hour lunch break. That said, we’re flexible and recognize that we all have lives outside of the office – and we also know that sometimes, especially when deadlines demand it, normal working hours just won’t get the job done. When it doesn’t, we act accordingly – and we show our appreciation when people step-up. We use our leave days and so will you, for your sanity and ours. If think that your that special talent we may be looking for, kindly send us your CV* mailto:[email protected]<[email protected]> *
