At JNS, we don’t throw people at problems.

We hire specialists who’ve been in the trenches—and who know how to turn a CRM from “barely working” into “business advantage.”

Right now, we’re looking for a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Developer who’s fluent in configuration, dangerous with custom plugins, and allergic to clunky systems.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing:
  • Customizing Dynamics 365 to make the system work for the business—not the other way around
  • Building workflows, plugins, and integrations that hold up under pressure
  • Migrating data like a pro, ensuring it lands clean
  • Connecting CRM to other platforms via APIs or middleware
  • Troubleshooting like you’ve seen every error message twice
  • Owning performance, security, and documentation so the next person doesn’t curse your name
Your Toolkit Should Include:
  • C#, .NET, JavaScript, SQL Server
  • Deep experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM
  • Solid grasp of API integrations and complex workflows
  • 3+ years in CRM development (not just admin work)
  • CRM certifications? Great. Real-world experience? Even better.
Details That Matter:
  • Based in Randburg (Hybrid: min. 3 days onsite per week)
  • 6-month contract , high chance of extension
  • It’s for someone who’s ready to build—not babysit systems

If you’ve ever looked at someone’s CRM setup and thought,

“Who built this—and why weren’t they arrested?” We want to talk.
