Senior Java Developer/ Architect

Full-time

e-Merge IT Recruitment

Some heroes wear capes. Others write Java.

If you can tame legacy code, architect scalable systems, and know the difference between 'it works' and 'it's production-ready,' then we need to talk.

We're looking for a Senior Java Developer & Architect who's ready to take on complex enterprise projects, influence technical direction, and build software that's as elegant as it is powerful.

Your mission:

  • Transform complex business challenges into smart, scalable solutions.
  • Build web and mobile applications that stand the test of time.
  • Write clean, maintainable code your future teammates will thank you for.
  • Lead architecture decisions and champion engineering best practices.
  • Keep calm when production isn't.
  • Turn great ideas into even better software—one commit at a time.

Your tech stack:

If this list feels like home, you're probably who we're looking for:

  • Java SE 8, 21 & 25
  • Java EE 8
  • EJB, JMS, JDBC & JNDI
  • PostgreSQL
  • Apache Kafka
  • Docker
  • Git
  • Ubuntu
  • JBoss Undertow
  • GlassFish

What you bring:

  • 10+ years of software development experience.
  • 10+ years working with SQL (PostgreSQL gets bonus points).
  • 5+ years building robust Java applications.
  • Enterprise architecture experience? We'd love to see it.
  • A degree is a bonus—but exceptional skills and experience are what really count.

What's in it for you?

R1.02 million per annum

Reference number: GZ60904
