Senior Software Developer - Cape Town - Up to R125,000 CTC + 15% Bonus
Ada Meher are partnered with a global enterprise SaaS business in the automotive space that's currently building out its Cape Town engineering hub. They're looking to bring in a Senior Software Developer who wants to stay hands-on and play a key role in shaping a large, data-driven platform used worldwide.
This is a genuinely senior, delivery-focused role ideal for someone who enjoys designing solutions, writing high-quality code, and having a real influence on how a product evolves.
You'll be reporting into a locally based Lead Developer while working very closely with UK-based Product and Engineering teams. Together, you'll be building and evolving a large-scale Automotive Intelligence Platform used by retailers and OEMs across global markets.
This isn't a role where you disappear into meetings or spend your days reviewing other people's pull requests. You'll be hands-on throughout the full software development lifecycle, from initial design and architecture through to build, integration, deployment, and ongoing improvement.

Contributing to architecture and technical decision-making alongside senior peers
Writing clean, scalable, and well-tested code that holds up at enterprise scale
Modernising legacy code
Working closely with Product, QA, and Engineering colleagues across regions
Helping uphold and improve engineering standards, practices, and code quality
Supporting a growing engineering hub as it matures and scales
The Tech Environment
C# and .NET / .NET Core
SQL / T-SQL
Azure (cloud services, hosting, integrations)
Azure DevOps (CI/CD, pipelines, deployments)
Front-end work using HTML, JavaScript, and Razor
APIs and system integrations within a SaaS environment
What They're Looking For
Strong commercial experience as a Senior Software Developer
Deep hands-on knowledge of C#, .NET and SQL (optimization, stored procedures, SQL profiler)
Experience building or supporting scalable SaaS or enterprise-scale platforms
Solid experience working with Azure-hosted applications
Proven background building APIs and third-party integrations
Comfortable contributing across backend and frontend when needed with Razor
Someone who enjoys ownership, problem-solving, and working at scale
Experience working with distributed or international, large teams is a bonus
