Software Developer
Bloemfontein

Summary

My ideal next role would be a Backend Engineering role, but I am also open to Full Stack and .NET Engineering roles. I would like to work with .NET, Angular and Node.js in my next role, but am also open to working with/learning other tools and technologies.

I would prefer a large-sized company, but am definitely open to companies of other sizes. I have no preference with regards to company industry. For benefits, I would like an annual bonus and more than 15 days' leave. However, these are not dealbreakers for me.

In terms of company culture, I would like the culture to be one of inclusivity, where everyone feels welcomed and encouraged to grow. I would like the culture to be a friendly space that is open to communication with people who are easily approachable. Ideally, the environment should promote trust and teamwork and should enable me to use my skills to support and mentor other developers when the need arises.

I am willing and able to relocate.
