junior software engineer jobs in Cape Town, Western Cape

Spriggabyte is a small Cape Town web development agency building and maintaining websites for UK and international clients - including enterprise names in finance and professional services. We’re taking on one intern to train up properly.

What you’ll learn

Real commercial development from day one: PHP, Drupal, WordPress and Laravel, Git, Docker, staging environments, and how professional sites are built, deployed and looked after. You’ll work directly with the senior developer who owns the company - no layers, real code, real clients.

What we’re looking for

We care about attitude far more than your CV. You should be:

• Genuinely curious - you’ve built, broken or tinkered with something on your own time
• Comfortable being stuck and figuring things out (and honest about when you need help)
• Reliable and communicative - you say what you’re doing and do what you say
• Have basic exposure to HTML/CSS and some programming (any language - we’ll teach the rest)

No degree required. Bootcamp grads, self-taught developers and students all welcome.

Details

• Paid internship, 6 month fixed term with the goal of a permanent junior role for the right person
• Remote
• Start: TBC

How to apply

Don’t send a cover letter. Instead, answer these three things in your application (a few sentences each):

1. Why development?

2. Tell us about something you’ve built, fixed or broken - anything counts, even a WordPress blog or a game mod.

3. Describe a time you were completely stuck on a problem. What did you do?

Applications that ignore these questions won’t be considered.
