About The Position

Software Developers (with Data and Analysis Skills) - Live, Work and Build in Paradise. 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. This is not a pure reporting or BI role. It is a software development role with strong analytical and data responsibility. On-site role based on Thesen Island, Knysna. Preference for candidates already in Knysna / the Garden Route. Ideal for someone looking for long-term lifestyle balance alongside technical growth. This Role Is Perfect For Someone Who: Identifies as a Software Developer, not just a Data Analyst. Enjoys coding, building tools, and solving complex technical problems. Likes working across data, logic, and user-facing components. Is early to mid-career level but serious about building strong technical depth. Believes you don’t need city chaos to build an impactful tech career.

Requirements

• Solid understanding of software logic, data structures, and problem-solving
• ±2 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 (not rebuilding reports, but extending value)
• Working across the full flow — from data sources, through logic and transformation, to application or visual output
