We’re looking for a bit of a (techy) unicorn to join arguably the most exciting department within our company. We are looking for an intelligent and experienced tech all-rounder to join our Systems, Automation, Digitisation and Analytics (SADA) department as a software engineer.
This department is responsible for the end-to-end creation of all in-house systems, digital tools and overall organisational technical enhancements. We are seeking your computer science degree coupled with solid experience in systems analysis, research, design, coding, developing, testing, organisational implementation, and maintenance.
In this role, you will be tasked with the creation, testing, implementation, maintenance, auditing, and improvement of all existing and new systems and software within the group. Your previous experience in the creation and implementation of systems and software within organisations will be vitally important as we would expect the incumbent to make recommendations for, and solution, technical system design projects.

We’re on a massive automation drive so this will be an exciting and challenging role for the right person! Only candidates keen on building with good project management skills need to apply!
What does this role do?
The Software Engineer will work across all organisational systems and projects which would include upgrades to existing systems, bug fixes and maintenance of all systems, new systems research and design, new systems building and creation and so on.
Raizcorp is a complex business and therefore often requires bespoke system creation to automate and control in-house processes, deal with (and ease) complexities in processes and to facilitate data management. You would also be tasked with ensuring that all systems integrate into one another as seamlessly as possible.
Previous experience in learner management systems, MS Access databases and SQL programming will be advantageous. You will also need to possess strong experience in systems analysis (you will do your own business analysis for all newly proposed systems), research, design, coding, developing, testing, organisational implementation, and maintenance.

What experience is preferred?
You need to be a strong all-rounder with the ability to learn quickly. You will be required to consider different systems based on business needs, be flexible to change and highly adaptable to finding solutions. We do use external programmers and developers and often you would need to brief specs into these developers, review their work, collaborate for the organisation’s best interests in all design projects, etc.
What kind of personality will excel in this role?
You will be reporting to and working very closely with the SADA Manager. You will need to be a bit of a unicorn as we’ve already mentioned – someone who is analytical, logical and systems thinking but also able to empathise with the user experience, having the required skill to build the system needed to bridge the gap between the company’s requirement and the employee or entrepreneur experience. You need to care about making everyone’s lives better through better technology and systems.
