Software Developer (with data analysis)

Network1 • Eden, NC

2d • $20,000 • Onsite

About The Position

This role is for a Software Developer who thinks analytically — someone who enjoys writing code, building front-end tools, integrating systems, and applying data-driven thinking to real business problems. It’s a rare opportunity to grow technically while embracing a slower, richer, coastal lifestyle on Thesen Island, Knysna. The role involves developing Python-based solutions for data integration, automation, and business logic, writing and optimising SQL, working with front-end technologies to build internal tools and interfaces, contributing to custom applications, applying analytical thinking to business processes, and supporting the existing Power BI environment. This is a software development role with strong analytical and data responsibility, not a pure reporting or BI role.

Requirements

• Python development experience (essential)
• Strong SQL skills for data extraction and integration
• Experience with at least one front-end language or framework (JavaScript, HTML/CSS, React, etc.)
• Solid understanding of software logic, data structures, and problem-solving
• 0-1 years’ experience in a software development, data engineering, or technical analyst role
• Degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field
• Strong analytical mindset — able to understand data flows, systems, and business context
• Comfortable working with existing systems and improving them through code
• Curious, hands-on, and motivated to grow into broader technical ownership

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to Power BI and DAX (advantageous, not the primary focus)

Responsibilities

• Developing Python-based solutions for data integration, automation, and business logic
• Writing and optimising SQL to extract, transform, and integrate data from existing systems
• Working with front-end technologies (JavaScript, HTML/CSS, or similar) to build internal tools and interfaces
• Contributing to the development of custom applications and front-end tools, alongside outsourced or partner developers
• Applying analytical thinking to understand business processes and translate requirements into technical solutions
• Supporting and enhancing the existing Power BI environment, including DAX where required
• Working across the full flow — from data sources, through logic and transformation, to application or visual output
