About Us

We are a South African SaaS company delivering measurement-based technology solutions in energy, utilities, IoT, and manufacturing. Our platform helps businesses uncover hidden value, improve operational control, and make smarter, data-driven decisions in real time.

But we are only just getting started.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a sharp, systems-minded Developer to take ownership of our internal automation and customer interaction layers. You will play a central role in how we manage operational workflows, surface platform insights, and support commercial and customer-facing teams.

This is not a standard web app role. You will be building at the intersection of data, automation, and user experience, creating the tools that help our people move fast, our platform deliver value at scale, and our customer data become fully operationalised across workflows and decision-making.

What You Will Be Working On

• Zoho Enablement:
  Optimise the Zoho CRM, Desk and other environments for simplicity, speed, and usability
• Augos SaaS Platform Integration:
  Understand the platform's structure, datasets, and available insights, then integrate this data into Zoho to drive automations, surface intelligence, and enable real-time customer interactions
• Interaction Hub:
  Extend and maintain our custom-built customer-facing interface that drives digital engagement. This tool connects data from Zoho, Augos, and customer inputs to power automated, structured interactions across the customer lifecycle
• Automation and Efficiency:
  Reduce friction and manual work through smart, logic-driven interfaces and decisions
• Cross-functional Collaboration:
  Work with operations, commercial, engineering, and support teams to continuously improve internal systems

What We Are Looking For

• Strong experience in React and , with the ability to own and scale a modern frontend application
• Proficient in JavaScript, especially in building modular interfaces and handling complex logic
• Confident working with REST APIs and JSON data
• Experience with Git for version control within a collaborative environment, such as GitLab or equivalent platforms.
• Experience with Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, or Deluge scripting (Other CRM systems will also be considered)
• A systems thinker who brings clarity to complexity
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, in-office, outcomes-focused environment

Nice to Have

While not a core requirement, experience with Webflow development would be a valuable bonus. We use Webflow to maintain and evolve our marketing site, and having support on that front would be beneficial to the broader team.

Why This Role Matters

Your work will directly:

• Improve internal efficiency and operational clarity
• Deliver smarter and more scalable customer experiences
• Surface key platform data in meaningful ways
• Help us automate, accelerate, and grow
