Intermediate to Senior C# Full Stack Developer

About the Company

Founded in 1996, this Pretoria-headquartered financial services organisation has evolved into one of South Africa’s most trusted and accessible micro-finance providers. With 216 branches and 1,500 employees nationwide, the company is committed to empowering modest-income, formally employed South Africans through responsible credit solutions and community-centred service delivery.

Historically, the organisation outsourced its IT and development operations. However, as its growth accelerated, it made a strategic shift — bringing technology in-house and building a dedicated development capability. The IT division currently comprises 20 professionals, with plans to scale significantly as part of a major digital transformation aimed at modernising systems, broadening customer channels, and integrating branch and digital experiences into a seamless ecosystem.

This is an environment where technology plays a pivotal role in reshaping how financial services reach and serve the market. Developers joining this team will work on high-impact projects spanning back-end systems, customer-facing platforms, and API-driven integrations across online, mobile, and cloud environments.
