C++ Software Developer at DotActiv

Job description

Write brilliant code in C++ for retailers and suppliers across the globe. 16 countries (and climbing) to be exact. If you happen to be staying in Somerset West then your car won’t have heated up by the time you arrive at work - winning. At DotActiv we do things differently, the environment here is laid back but that doesn't mean we aren't serious about being the best. The proof? Clicks, Africa’s largest pharmacy group, went through a formal process of evaluating their IT providers and we forged our way to the top.

• Translate application storyboards and use cases into functional applications
• Design, build and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable C++ code
• Ensure the best possible performance, quality, and responsiveness of applications
• Identify bottlenecks and bugs, and devise solutions to these problems
• Help maintain code quality
• Perks that come with the role:
• Dress however you want - grow a beard if you must
• You don’t have to deal with customers
• Interested in furthering your studies? We’ll sponsor and give you time off.
• Stamp your own creativity on developments
