Lead C# Developer

Ready to level up your career and lead a team that actually likes coming to work? A major financial powerhouse is on the hunt for a C# Team Lead—someone who can help build heavyweight systems powering investment and wealth platforms across South Africa… and look good doing it.

In this role, you’ll be the tech trailblazer: coaching brilliant developers, crafting scalable backend magic, and helping steer the future of one of the country’s most trusted financial brands. If you enjoy being hands-on, making smart architectural calls, and leaving your “this-could-run-faster” mark on every system you touch, you’ll fit right in.

You’ll get to play with modern tools, solve real problems, and build software that genuinely makes life easier for clients, advisors, and the people sitting down the hall. Oh—and clean code lovers? You’ll feel right at home.
