Lead .Net Software DeveloperCape Town | Full-Time | Hybrid (3 days in office - Salt River) | R130,000 CTC + Bonus
I'm working with a global enterprise SaaS organisation in the automotive technology space that is expanding its Cape Town engineering hub.
They're now looking for a hands-on Lead Software Developer to help shape the technical direction of a large-scale, data-driven Automotive Intelligence Platform used by retailers and OEMs worldwide.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who still loves writing code, enjoys solving complex problems at scale, and wants to play a meaningful role in building and maturing a growing engineering function.
You'll report into UK-based Engineering leadership while leading a local team of developers and senior engineers in Cape Town, working closely with Product and Engineering teams in the UK.
Leading and mentoring a team of developers and senior engineers in Cape Town
Designing and delivering new features across a complex enterprise SaaS platform
Remaining hands-on across the full SDLC from architecture and design to build, deployment, and optimisation
Contributing to architectural and long-term technical decisions
Driving high standards around code quality, scalability, and security
Supporting the evolution of CI/CD pipelines, engineering processes, and development standards
Collaborating closely with UK-based Product, QA, and Engineering colleagues
Helping shape a strong, high-performing engineering culture within a growing hub
The Platform & Tech Environment
C# and .NET / .NET Core
SQL / T-SQL (with performance optimisation and query tuning)
Azure (cloud hosting, services, integrations)
Azure DevOps (CI/CD, pipelines, deployments)
HTML, JavaScript, and Razor for frontend components
APIs and third-party system integrations within a SaaS ecosystem
The product itself is a globally used Automotive Intelligence Platform supporting high-availability, data-heavy workflows across international markets.
What They're Looking For:
Proven experience as a Lead Developer, or Technical Lead within an enterprise SaaS environment (or similar). Having led teams of 10+ people and able to foster a team culture.
Deep hands-on expertise in C#, .NET, and SQL
Strong understanding of architecture, system design, and scalable platform development
Experience building and maintaining APIs and third-party integrations
Solid experience working with Azure-hosted applications
Comfort contributing across backend and frontend where required
Experience mentoring or guiding developers, leading by example rather than hierarchy
Confident working with distributed, international teams
Nice to have:
Experience helping establish or scale a new engineering function
Background working on complex, high-availability SaaS platforms
Exposure to automotive technology or similarly data-intensive industries
