Software Engineer (Senior)

This is a remote position.

Ready to own complex features, shape technical decisions, and help modernise a real enterprise SaaS platform used across Africa and the Middle East?

We’re a dynamic Business Information Systems Consulting firm that thrives on delivery. Our clients span banking, financial services, manufacturing, FMCG and recruitment — and we’re looking for an experienced Software Engineer who brings commitment, drive and a positive attitude to the table.

This is a hands-on upper mid-level / senior role. You’ll work closely with technical and business stakeholders to turn product requirements into secure, scalable, maintainable production software.

Responsibilities:

·       Design, develop, test and maintain features across a modern enterprise web platform.

·       Build secure backend services and web applications using C# and modern .NET.

·       Develop and maintain REST APIs and integrations with third-party systems.

·        Work with relational databases, data models and performance-sensitive queries.

·       Contribute to responsive and user-friendly web interfaces.

·       Take ownership of features from technical design through development, testing and release.

·       Review requirements and identify technical risks, dependencies and edge cases.

·       Participate in architecture discussions, technical planning and code reviews.

·        Write clean, maintainable and appropriately tested code.

·        Investigate defects, performance issues and production incidents.

·        Estimate development effort and communicate progress, risks and blockers clearly.

·       Produce and maintain technical documentation.

·        Contribute to engineering standards, secure development practices and delivery processes.

·       Support and mentor less-experienced developers where appropriate.

·       Use AI-assisted development tools responsibly to improve delivery, testing, documentation and technical analysis.

·       Understand that generated code and technical outputs must be independently reviewed, tested and validated.

·       Maintain full accountability for the quality, security and maintainability of delivered software.

·       Experience working within a professional software development team.
