Lead C# Developer

Ready to level up from “the person fixing everyone else’s bugs” to Team Lead with actual power? One of South Africa’s heavyweight financial services giants is looking for a C# Team Lead to help run the tech behind their high-performance investment and wealth platforms.

Don’t worry—this isn’t one of those roles where you slowly transform into a professional meeting attendee. You’ll still be writing code, making the big architectural calls, and leading a crew of talented developers while building scalable systems thousands of people depend on every day.

If you get excited about clean code, smart architecture, and helping devs level up (while secretly judging messy commits), this role might just be your next adventure.

Your Tech Toolkit (aka the toys you get to play with)

• C# | .NET
• SQL Server (2012+)
• Angular & modern JavaScript frameworks
• ASP.NET (Web Forms & MVC 2.0+)
• RESTful services & API design
• CI/CD pipelines & Cloud PaaS
• Docker & Kubernetes
• Flutter for cross-platform mobile apps (iOS & Android)
• HTML5, Foundation, jQuery, BackboneJS, KnockoutJS

What You Bring to the Party

• A degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or something equally brainy
• 7+ years of real-world software development (aka battle scars included)
• 3+ years building mobile apps for iOS and Android using Flutter
• Experience leading, mentoring, and occasionally rescuing dev teams
• Strong system design skills and a “there’s always a solution” mindset
• A genuine love for scalable, high-performance, beautifully written code

Why You’ll Actually Like Working Here

• You’ll build enterprise-scale systems that real people rely on
• Your architectural decisions won’t vanish into the void—they’ll matter
• Work with smart developers who care about quality
• Lead a team without giving up coding
• Grow your career while shipping products you can proudly point to
