15 Home Automation jobs in South Africa

Job Description

This is a remote position.

Malabie Infinitum is seeking a versatile and proactive AI-Enabled Tech Specialist to join our dynamic, fast-paced team. This is not a traditional developer role. Instead, we are looking for a hands-on problem solver who can work across multiple layers of our business — from AI-assisted software development to smart home support and field operations. The ideal candidate should have a strong foundation in cloud technology and APIs, a willingness to learn and work with AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Fire Studio, and the attitude to physically assist with technical support and troubleshooting at our smart properties.

This role is ideal for someone who is technically competent, practically minded, eager to learn, and not confined by rigid job descriptions. You must be willing to engage in both digital and on-site technical problem-solving, with the flexibility to switch between tasks ranging from setting up serverless functions to troubleshooting an Alexa routine or resolving a Wi-Fi issue in a smart apartment.

Requirements

You will be responsible for configuring and deploying cloud functions (primarily in Azure and Google Cloud), integrating third-party APIs and webhooks, and leveraging low-code / no-code platforms like Power Automate to support automation processes across the business. You will use AI-driven development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Fire Studio to accelerate coding tasks and generate practical business logic.

A critical part of your role will also involve supporting our smart home infrastructure. This includes helping to troubleshoot smart locks, motion sensors, lighting systems, and routine automation failures across our short- and long-term rental properties. You will be expected to assist with both remote diagnostics and on-site resolutions when necessary.

In addition to technical work, your flexibility and attitude will be essential. The role requires occasional assistance with general technical or operational issues — for example, investigating a water leak, doing a minor device reset, or supporting connectivity setups. You will be joining a small team, and the ability to step in where needed with a positive and solution-oriented mindset is non-negotiable.

Benefits

We are looking for someone with 3 to 5 years of experience in IT, cloud development, automation, or related technology fields. Formal qualifications are valued, but what matters more is your ability to think logically, problem-solve in real-world conditions, and learn new tools and platforms quickly. You must be comfortable working with AI-generated code, willing to engage with both software and hardware systems, and committed to contributing to a culture of responsiveness, ownership, and continuous learning.

If you are someone who enjoys a hybrid role that blends AI-driven innovation with real-world impact, and you are excited by the idea of being part of a company transforming rental properties into intelligent living spaces, we encourage you to apply.
