We're rebuilding
Pursuit
, a mission-critical insurance policy management system used by UMAs, brokers, and insurers across Southern Africa. The current platform runs on
legacy .NET Framework, WinForms, and a custom ORM
. Our goal is to modernise it into a
browser-based, API-driven, scalable system
.

You'll be working directly with our
lead software developer
to
execute hands-on
: rewriting middleware, building new APIs, and moving toward a clean, maintainable front end.

This is a
short, intense engagement (6 months full-time)
to make major progress on the core system.

Note:
This is the
first phase of extensive upgrades
. A successful candidate will have access to multiple follow-on projects, including building advanced features,
implementing AI capabilities
, and
using AI tools to improve productivity and automation
across the platform.

Responsibilities

• Replace the
  legacy custom ORM
  with a standard solution (Entity Framework or similar).
• Build and optimise
  .NET Core / ASP.NET Core APIs
  to gradually move business logic out of the WinForms client.
• Work with Mo to
  design and deliver the new middleware layer
  — the "engine" of the system.
• Contribute to
  front-end modernisation
  (Angular or React) once APIs are in place.
• Ensure
  performance and scalability
  (system must handle large claim surges and multi-tenant setups).
• Integrate with external systems like
  rating engines, debit order processors, and reinsurance modules
  .
• Collaborate with and mentor existing devs to adopt best practices in
  API-first development, testing, and CI/CD
  .
• Work in
  short cycles
  : deliver usable components in weeks, not months.

Requirements

• 7+ years full-stack development
  with strong C#/.NET skills.
• Deep experience with
  .NET Core / ASP.NET Core
  , API design, and Entity Framework.
• Solid SQL Server knowledge (queries, indexing, optimisation).
• Hands-on experience modernising
  legacy .NET / WinForms
  apps.
• Proficient in
  Angular (preferred) or React
  for building browser-based UIs.
• Experience building and consuming REST APIs.
• Comfortable with
  cloud-hosted environments
  (Azure/AWS/VM-based).
• Strong problem-solving skills: able to
  ship production-ready code fast
  .

Nice to Have

• Insurance, fintech, or other
  transaction-heavy system
  experience.
• Knowledge of
  multi-tenant SaaS design
  and configuration-driven systems.
• Exposure to
  DevOps tools
  (CI/CD pipelines, containerization).
• Understanding of
  security and compliance
  in financial systems.
• Curiosity and hands-on experience with
  AI-assisted coding and productivity tools
  (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT for code).

Engagement

• Freelance / Contract.
• Full-time, 2–3 months (Nov–Jan)
  with possibility of extension into future phases.
• Remote-friendly, must align with
  South African working hours
  .
• Immediate impact expected: this role is about
  execution speed + quality
  .

What Success Looks Like

• Middleware and API layer rebuilt on modern frameworks.
• Core functionality running off APIs instead of legacy ORM.
• First modules of the new browser-based UI are working against the new APIs.
• The internal team is enabled to carry forward on a clean foundation.
• Path cleared for
  future projects in AI and automation
  , with the candidate positioned as a key contributor.

Optional Tech Challenge

To help us identify developers who can deliver at speed, shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a
practical coding challenge
(API design + small UI task) or a
system refactor exercise
. We can change this, obviously, maybe easier to find someone interested in working on a longer project.
