We Want You:

BET Software is on the lookout for two Intermediate Software Development Engineers to join our dynamic team in Cape Town. In this role, you’ll be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality software solutions that meet performance, scalability, and security requirements. Must be experienced with REACT. Beyond coding, you’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor junior developers, and stay ahead of industry trends to drive innovation. If you're eager to enhance your expertise and make a meaningful impact in a fast-paced environment, apply today.


You Bring:

• At least 3-5 years’ experience within a development environment.
• 2-5 years database experience.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail.
  
  

What You’ll Do:

Perform Planning

• Identify and establish objectives for self and team.
• Work on objectives or goals within timeline.
• Consider all reasonable factors, impediments and obstacles.
• Identify potential alternative strategies and refactor approach for maximum benefit within the shortest possible time.

Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Functionally Complete

• Deliver a solution which covers all the agreed specified tasks and user objectives.
• Deliver a correct solution which provides the correct results with the needed degree of precision.
• Ensure checked in code is reviewed to ensure standards are met.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution is Reliable

• Ensure the solution performs appropriately under agreed conditions for extended periods of time without the need for intervention (despite potential attacks).
• Ensure all steps are taken to reduce the occurrence of faults due to misunderstood requirements, design errors, and implementation errors.
• Ensure the solution is robust and remains continually available.
• Respond to outages and failures when and where needed.
• Improve fault tolerance even when operational conditions are not optimal.
• Ensure complete data recoverability so that data may be recovered, and the desired state of the solution can be re-established (despite potential attacks).
• Ensure the solution is maintainable, and actively seek methods to reduce down-time.
• Ensure the solution is durable so that as user volumes and requirements change the solution can evolve over the long term.
• Ensure the solution simplifies support and maintenance support through traceability, and effective error messaging.
• Ensure over time, the solution becomes more mature where the interval between the interventions to remain operational become less frequent.
• Ensure in the event of a failure reduce effective downtime is to the minimum possible.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution has Effective Security

• Ensure the solution is secure, and confidential by protecting all information and data (also data transmission).
• Ensure persons or other solutions have the degree of access appropriate to their level of authorisation and types.
• Ensure the solution has high integrity where the solution prevents unauthorised access to, modification of computer programs, data, or settings.
• Ensure the solution has a high degree of survivability despite third-Party interventions (attacks, human errors, hardware or software faults).
• Employ logs and records so that actions and events can be proven to have taken place and cannot be disputed/ repudiated later.
• Ensure wherever possible actions can be traced uniquely to the entity which performed it.
• Ensure wherever possible the identify of an entity can be proved to be the correct one.

Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Maintainable

• Ensure the solution and its relevant code base supports ease of modification for future maintainers.
• Ensure the use of appropriate standards and methods.
• Ensure where possible (without affecting performance/security) the solution caters for maintenance by support teams rather than developers.
• Ensure modularity where the solution consists of discrete components so that a change in one component has minimal impact on other components.
• Ensure relevant documentation is provided to support teams to reduce development support burden.
• Apply a strategy of reusability so an asset can be used in more than one solution or in building other assets.
• Where possible provide a mechanism for the solution to analyse its own faults and provide reports prior to a critical failure.
• Develop the solution in a manner which supports modification for future developers thereby reducing the numbers of defects or negatively affecting system quality.

Verify Deployed Solutions

• Ensure the solution is delivered completely and with the additional assets which are required to make installation/deployment as seamless and easy as possible.
• Ensure the adaptable solution delivered is appropriate for different or evolving, software or other operational usage environments.

Respond to Outages & Failures

• Provide proactive support to Peers, Testing, Dev Support and Operational teams so number of escalations to the development team is reduced, thereby maximising development time.
• Provide support to the Dev Support when required during operational events and create or assist with the creation of SOP’s.
• Be available to handle emergency outages and failures for your or your teams’ solutions.
• Perform trouble shooting and effectively resolve issues to increase solution stability and reduce intervention required over time.
• Recommend and execute approved improvements to development methods and solutions.
• Provide quick resolutions to app/system issues, driving stability, efficiency and effectiveness.
• Maintain solutions which have completed development and are in the operations phase.
• Develop and maintain technical support documentation.
• Assess risk and impact of production issues/changes and take appropriate steps to mitigate risk.

Direct 3rd Party Development Partners

• When required, supply appropriate information, domain knowledge and access to partners.
• Provide timely, relevant and constructive feedback to assist the partner to achieve success.
• Take corrective action when deviation from the plan is observed.
• Take all appropriate steps to ensure organizational success.

Resourceful and improving

• Generates new ideas and challenges the status quo, takes risk, supports change and encourages innovation.
• Searches for opportunity to create new ideas and innovate or improve efficiencies wherever possible.
• Solves problems through questioning the status quo.
