Full Stack Java Developer (Contract) - Gauteng/Hybrid - ISB1300158

Our client is seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer to join a high-impact DevOps team at the Group IT Hub South Africa, delivering IT solutions to the global Group.

Full Stack Mastery: Strong backend expertise in Java / Spring Boot combined with REST API development, microservices architecture, and graph database technologies including AWS Neptune for complex connected vehicle data use cases.

Technical Leadership: Functional expert working independently to deliver scalable, secure solutions, contributing to architecture decisions, code reviews, and mentoring junior team members within a global DevOps framework.

Global Delivery: Collaborate with Product Owners in Germany and global teams to deliver features aligned to Group IT standards, ensuring stability through CI/CD pipelines and production support.

Position Details:

• Contract Dates: 01-07-2026 to 31-12-2028
• Location: Midrand / Menlyn / Rosslyn / Home Office Rotation
• 6-8 Years related experience

Qualifications & Experience:

• Essential: Willingness and ability to travel internationally for project requirements

Essential Skills & Technologies:

Backend & API Development:

• Strong experience in Java / Spring Boot or similar backend frameworks

Cloud & DevOps:

• Experience working with AWS (preferred) or other cloud platforms
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and deployment practices
• Version control (Git)

Graph Database & Cloud:

• Experience working with graph databases and modelling complex relationships
• Hands-on experience with AWS Neptune or similar graph database technologies
• Ability to design and optimize graph data models for large-scale systems
• Understanding of graph-based use cases (connected data, knowledge graphs, digital twin scenarios)

Advantageous Skills:

• Frontend experience with modern frameworks (Angular, React)
• Strong understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• MongoDB exposure
• TypeScript and NodeJS

Who This Role Would Suit:

This role is ideal for a seasoned Full Stack Developer who is equally comfortable in backend architecture as they are navigating cloud-native environments.

The strongest candidates will have a solid Java / Spring Boot foundation paired with real-world experience in graph databases - particularly AWS Neptune - making them well suited to tackle complex connected vehicle data and digital twin challenges.

You are self-directed professionals who thrive in globally distributed teams, communicating confidently with Product Owners and stakeholders across time zones. They bring a natural curiosity for complex data relationships and an ability to translate ambiguous requirements into clean, maintainable solutions.

A background in automotive IT or large-scale enterprise data systems would be a distinct advantage, but what matters most is a proven ability to deliver full stack solutions at scale, take ownership end-to-end, and contribute meaningfully to architectural decisions within a fast-moving DevOps environment.
