Make a positive social and environmental impact with this forward-thinking Agri-tech company

Tech: C#, .Net Core+, Angular 17, SQL, Linq, Azure DevOps (nice to have Flutter)

Ada Meher are currently partnering with a client based in Stellenbosch who is looking for two mid-senior level full stack developers. The role will involve mostly new development, with limited support and bug fixes. The company are growing, with plans to expand their product offering, take on new clients and projects. Their software optimises farming processes and really makes a difference to the industry on a social, economic and environmental level. The company have clients across SA as well as some in the USA.

They are looking for a self-starter who takes initiative and can solve problems independently, but is not afraid to ask for help when needed. This client offers a collaborative culture where knowledge sharing is encouraged throughout their two development teams. The successful candidate does not necessarily need to have experience with all the listed technologies, but they must be willing to learn and show an adaptable mindset.

This company operates on a fully remote basis, using a discord server for collaboration. They do meet up face-to-face once a quarter in Cape Town, but that is not a requirement for people to attend.

To be considered:

3+ years experience with .Net Core+
Experience with a current SPA framework such as Angular, React or VueJS
Strong SQL skills
Exposure with Azure DevOps and/or Azure Functions
Exposure with Flutter is a bonus
The business offer a performance based bonus, which can equate to more than a 13th cheque for a good performer. They really value culture as an open minded, collaborative business and they are looking for candidates that align with their values

How Many Data Engineering Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Engineering Job?

If you’re aiming for a career in data engineering, it can feel like you’re staring at a never-ending list of tools and technologies — SQL, Python, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, and the list goes on. Scroll job boards and LinkedIn, and it’s easy to conclude that unless you have experience with every modern tool in the data stack, you won’t even get a callback. Here’s the honest truth most data engineering hiring managers will quietly agree with: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can solve real data problems with the tools you know. Tools matter. But only in service of outcomes. Jobs are won by candidates who know why a technology is used, when to use it, and how to explain their decisions. So how many data engineering tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think — but you do need them in the right combination and order. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Engineering Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, the first thing to understand is this: Hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it. They look for signals of relevance, credibility, delivery and collaboration — and if they don’t see the right signals quickly, your application may never get a second look. In data engineering, hiring managers are especially focused on whether you can build and operate reliable, scalable data systems, handle real-world data challenges and work effectively with analytics, BI, data science and engineering teams. This guide breaks down exactly what they look at first in your application — and how to shape your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out.

The Skills Gap in Data Engineering Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data engineering has quietly become one of the most critical roles in the modern technology stack. While data science and AI often receive the spotlight, data engineers are the professionals who design, build and maintain the systems that make data usable at scale. Across the UK, demand for data engineers continues to rise. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, government, media and technology all report difficulty hiring candidates with the right skills. Salaries remain strong, and experienced professionals are in short supply. Yet despite this demand, many graduates with degrees in computer science, data science or related disciplines struggle to secure data engineering roles. The reason is not academic ability. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data engineering work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data engineering.
