.Net Software Engineer- Cape Town, Western Cape at Entelect

What you’ll actually be doing

• Joining a company with more than 16 years’ experience in software craftsmanship; a company known for hiring, continuously growing, and retaining the best people in the industry.
• Working with teams with a common goal: to solve complex business problems, to drive excellence and to make an impact, while pushing yourself and others to become more.
• Using your knowledge and experience to develop world-class, high-quality web and mobile applications for some of the country’s leading organisations.
• Getting involved in various parts of the SDLC – maybe having to do a bit of analysis, design and architecture work as part of your dev tasks.
• Looking at ways to improve the quality of the product we ship through the use of containerisation and continuous integration to create a well-oiled DevOps process.
• Researching cutting-edge technologies; and identifying ways to apply them into your project.

How you’ll do this

• By leaning on your mastery of software engineering ninjutsu: best practices, clean code, design patterns and principles.
• By working with the other deadly ninjas on your team; training, learning and sharing knowledge to complete your mission.
• By understanding how the business and the technology can combine to add true value to your customer and project.
• By pushing the limits, asking questions and challenging preconceived notions of what’s possible. Because, at Entelect, we believe everything is possible.
• By being agile and planning properly, but being open and able to accommodate change when necessary. So you prioritise, you adjust and you get things done.
• By having access to everything you need to become the best at what you do: the facilities, resources and autonomy you need to become more.

What your typical day could look like

• You arrive at the office and join your colleagues for the morning team coffee run, while discussing the social meet-up that’s happening tonight. You make a mental note to let your partner know that you’ll be out for dinner. That’s on us.
• This morning’s stand up highlights a problem that a team member is facing. You volunteer to help them out. An hour of pair programming later, your team member is on the right track meaning you can move onto that other big-ticket item you’ve been designing in your head for the past few days.
• You put your headphones on and set about coding your design into a reality. After seeing that your unit tests pass, you commit and push…and watch in anticipation as the build monitor lets you know that it’s been deployed. Awesome!
• Before grabbing lunch, you get side-tracked by a debate taking place in another squad regarding whether to go with Chef or Ansible. You add your two cents, biased because you had once contributed to that open source project. High fives and back pats all round. Good job!
• You have 20 minutes free before your demo, so you decide to knock off some technical debt. You spend the next hour having a successful demo with the customer and then rush off to a training session on event sourcing. With a happy customer and having learnt something new, you stop by the bar for a beer with your colleagues while deciding whether to stay for this evening’s LAN or head straight home.

Today was a good day. Tomorrow will be too.
