We are looking for developers to join a our development team. Work will include maintaining existing code and developing new products / features .

Requirements:
  • Degree preferred but we can talk
  • 3-5years experience with:
    • C#,
    • MVC
    • HTML5/Bootstrap (nice to have but not essential)
    • MS SQL
    • API development
    • Knowledge of SDLC
Benefits:
  • R50k+, negotiable depending on experience.
  • Hybrid, 2 days at the office (JHB), rest work from home
Please note we are looking for people who can think for themselves, take ownership of their work and can work independently or in a team as and when required. Our environment is sometimes fast paced with short delivery times and you should be able to work under pressure if needed.

Please PM me and send your CV's.

I'm not in the market for these roles, but your post seems OK. It includes salary range, which is nice.
It doesn't give much more than that though. The better job postings out there tell potential applicants more about what the job will offer them. Why should a candidate who is pretty happy with their current role consider this one? Will they be working on an exciting project / app? Will their work make a difference in some way? Will they work for a company that will offer some amazing perks?

Failing all of that, if someone would apply only knowing the salary and tech stack, the pay needs to be something special.

30-40k for 3-5 years in JHB sees lowish though which might be your issue.

Did you post it elsewhere? I don't believe you will get a lot of interest from here.
 
Recruiters and job hunters, as well as devs should also consider joining the zatech.co.za Slack.

3-5 years you'd need to take junior out of the title.

A good full stack should be earning 40k ctc in Jhb by year 3, in CT I'd be looking at 40-60k range for that depending on what they worked on.

Why do you do this. Well you ask for feedback and just personal opinion.

Personally, I read tech stack and never bother telling the list of 38 developers about it.
Why?
C#? Most likely it dinosaur .NET Framework with some db first approach. I bet 0 testing coverage.
MVC - dinosaur
MS SQL - dinosaur
API development - dinosaur
Knowledge of SDLC - Seriously.
short delivery times? I implemented over 36 of 37 projects successfully, 0 delays and always on time. So I know the drill.
Lastly you ashamed to post company name therefore it tells a lot.

Not at all. He ask why "no developers in the market"?
Honestly its just dinosaur tech project most likely. Not going to recommend the post to anyone. A few did discuss it in another channel and those comments are really nasty but true.
 
Maybe advertise elsewhere?
Most people on here already have a good paying IT job where they do very little which gives them the time to sit and browse forums the whole day

I fit that profile pretty well, and exceeded your salary around when I crossed 1 years' experience. A colleague of mine with about 4 years exp and no degree took an offer for 90k after getting multiple competing offers.

Also, your post doesn't say anything about the role. With forcing developers (many of whom really want to work remote) into the office, offering a lowball salary, and the only highlight saying that the work is fast paced and demanding with short delivery times all while being under pressure (all negative things, which doesn't really sound nice, to be honest).

I would disagree with the other posters about dinosaur tech, though - not all developers insist on working with the latest and greatest stack. Personally I find working on a mature codebase acceptable and sometimes far less stressful. *

* granted, I have had the pleasure of working on well architected solutions with at least some level of testing and documentation

C# is because lots of people are on .Net Framework and if you can write code there, you can write in .Net 6, not really relevant.
MVC is a design pattern... it helps even with REST to think a bit about the separation, rest of the patterns can be taught, but understanding MVC is a true basic.
MS SQL is still pretty popular, and I can think of many use-cases for it over e.g. PostgreSQL (vertical indexing, better application transparent fall-over, last I remember there were issues with accent insensitive search, etc.). Every larger company I've worked at (in terms of revenue) has used MS SQL (or Azure SQL).
API development, that can mean anything, probably REST, saying dinosaur without knowledge is great.
Knowledge of SDLC is probably them saying they follow an iterative model, so you know how they operate

Agreed on short delivery times being an instant turn-off, same with no company name.

You know I meant that as a personal opinion and not as a general. For me, it feels like a dinosaur tech stack base on the post. So I gave my opinion not sure why I triggered off guys living in the Triassic period.

I fail to understand how you can say "API development - dinosaur", when you are clearly also building APIs if you are using Angular/React (SPAs) on the frontend, serverless / C# .Net core on the backend.

WCF services are not API in my books.
