Full Stack Engineer - Backend

Full Stack Engineer - Backend

Theodo UK – City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

We're building a team of highly-skilled engineers who want one thing above all else: to write excellent code every day, and continuously level up technically.

You thrive on solving hard technical problems, learning from brilliant peers, and getting deep into the codebase — day in, day out.

This isn't solo hacker mode.

You’ll be part of a high-performing team and expected to navigate real-world, fast-moving client projects.

That means collaborating thoughtfully, communicating clearly, and being proactive in unblocking yourself and others.

We want engineers who ask great questions, learn from their teammates, and know how to get what they need to do their best work.

As a Full Stack Engineer, your mission will be to focus on the backend, building a high-impact, cutting edge product used by hundreds of thousands worldwide.

• Proficiency with AWS, preferably within a serverless architecture (Lambda, Dynamo
  
  DB, etc.)
• Strong experience with C# and the .NET
• Frontend development experience with React
• Proven ability to manage external clients and build strong working relationships
• Demonstrated skill in managing stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams
• STEM or Computer Science degree, or equivalent practical experience
• Background in Full Stack Engineering, with a strong focus on backend development

• 22 Days annual leave
• Learning and Development Support throughout your career at Theodo
• 3 week work from anywhere policy
• Equipment budget for your tech setup
• Company pension
• Monthly Socials
• A Slack network of + engineers across our extended ecosystem — ask questions, share patterns, or troubleshoot obscure bugs with some of the sharpest devs out there.
• Monthly "Lunch & Tells" — in-person sessions to share technical discoveries, cool code tricks, or war stories from the field with fellow engineers.

You’ll work on a hybrid basis from our office based in Green Point, Cape Town—a vibrant location, with amenities, beaches, parks, and the CBD all within close proximity.

• Team Spirit:
  Our team has a natural ability to work together to achieve a common goal. Taking on the role of a good teammate requires courage; it means challenging and giving each other feedback. Its key to our teams succeeding.
• Pragmatism:
  Achieving effective results by utilising resources efficiently and avoiding unnecessary waste of time, energy and money. Emphasising agile practices, employing concise and direct interactions and engaging in firsthand experiences to challenge beliefs.
• Willingness to Improve:
  Actively identifying areas for improvement rather than tolerating good enough, promptly learning from problems and embracing challenges outside of one's comfort zone. These are all skills we promote in our team to benefit themselves, fellow Theodoers, Theodo and the wider community.
