Fullstack Developer / Software Engineer

Monita is a young and exciting platform that is transforming the digital landscape with the ability to track and detect 🔍 data problems in real-time 📈. It's built from the ground up on top of an open-source stack. Our customers love the platform, and can't wait for us to offer them more!

We have big plans for new integrations, user interfaces and in-app visualisation, and as a Fullstack Software Developer, you will be able to bring to life this vision with your genius dev skills🐇

You will have a hand in implementing new features (backend API), as well as maintaining the existing codebase of our web application. You will primarily be writing in TypeScript & Python for the backend, and for the frontend, you will be working with React and Material UI. You will also be hands-on with our cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipeline.

We are a dev house with a flat structure 🤓 so you'll be working with the product owner, and the sales team. We organise work via Jira, user-stories and wire-frames, and take personal ownership of every aspect of the system.

If you are a self-made dev, we would love for you to join our team of self-made devs!
