AI & Systems Integration Developer
Motor Retail | Head Office
Western Cape, Cape Town
R50,000 – R65,000 per month, depending on experience and suitability

We don't need someone to talk about AI. We need someone who can build with it.

A large, progressive independent motor retail group with 30+ dealerships representing some of the country's most in-demand automotive brands is looking for an exceptional AI Product Developer to help shape the next generation of its technology and business processes.

This isn't a traditional IT support role.

We're looking for a genuine builder and problem solver – someone who can understand how different dealership systems operate, identify where technology can make them work better together, and then develop the integrations and AI-driven solutions to make it happen.

You'll be working in a fast-moving motor retail environment where technology, automation and AI are viewed as business tools, not buzzwords .

What you'll actually be building

Your primary focus will be developing and implementing AI solutions and system integrations across the group's operations.

You'll work with platforms such as Signio, Keyloop, Kerridge, CMS and Autobid , alongside AI technologies, APIs and data tools, to create better connections between systems and improve the way information moves through the business.

That could mean identifying a repetitive manual process and automating it, connecting systems that currently don't communicate effectively, improving data flow, or developing an entirely new AI-driven solution to an operational problem.

The objective is simple:

Less friction. Better data. Smarter processes. Greater efficiency.

We're looking for someone who can:

• Develop , not merely administer, software and AI solutions
• Build and maintain APIs and integrations between multiple business systems
• Understand complex workflows and translate business problems into technical solutions
• Work with data to create practical automation and improve operational efficiency
• Test, troubleshoot and refine integrations until they work reliably in a real-world environment
• Identify opportunities where AI can deliver measurable business value
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Take ownership of projects and drive them from idea to implementation

Technical background
You'll need:

• An NQF-level qualification in IT, Software Development, Computer Science or a related field
• Proven hands-on experience in AI product development, software development and/or system integration
• Strong practical experience with APIs and connecting multiple systems
• Strong technical, analytical and problem-solving ability
• Experience with data management and automation
• Strong Excel capability
• Valid Code 8 Driver's Licence

Experience with Signio, Keyloop, Kerridge, CMS and/or Autobird will be highly advantageous, as will previous exposure to the motor retail/dealership environment .

Who will thrive here?
Someone curious.
Someone who doesn't accept “that's just how the system works” as an answer.

You'll need to be innovative, analytical and technically strong , but also commercially aware enough to understand that the cleverest solution isn't necessarily the best one – the best solution is the one that solves the business problem and actually gets used.

This is a large dealership group with an ambitious, forward-thinking leadership team, so expectations are high. You'll need to be comfortable with pace, accountability and being challenged to produce exceptional work .

In return, you'll have something many developers rarely get:

The opportunity to see what you build being used across a real business – and potentially across more than 30 dealerships.

Show us more than your CV

If this sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd strongly encourage you to include a short introduction video with your application.

Tell us who you are, what you've built and, most importantly, about a problem you've solved using AI, development, automation or system integration .

We don't need a professionally produced video.

We want to meet the person – and the mind – behind the CV.

**If you want to maintain systems, this probably isn't your role.

If you want to build what comes next, it might be.**
