Intermediate Systems & Automation Developer

Company:

Magic Bullet Solutions (Pty) Ltd

Location:

Centurion, Gauteng (On-site)

Employment Type:

Full-time

Salary:

R50,000 CTC per month (depending on experience)

About the Company

Magic Bullet Solutions (Pty) Ltd is a South African technology company that builds

structured, scalable digital systems

for clients in the education and content space.

Our work focuses on

internal platforms, backend systems, automation, and system-driven workflows

rather than traditional client-facing agency projects. We design and operate systems that generate, manage, and distribute digital content at scale, with a strong emphasis on reliability, ownership, and long-term evolution.

About the Role

We are looking for an

Intermediate Systems & Automation Developer

who can take ownership of core systems and work independently as the

primary developer

on assigned platforms.

This is a

hands-on, responsibility-heavy role

focused on backend systems, automation, and the ongoing operation of internal platforms that support automated content and media workflows.

This is

not a junior role and not a training position

. You will not have a senior developer providing day-to-day supervision or step-by-step guidance. The right candidate is comfortable learning independently, making technical decisions, and being accountable for system outcomes.

The role is

fully office-based in Centurion

.

Key Responsibilities

Developing and maintaining backend systems and internal platforms Building and evolving automation-driven workflows and system pipelines Supporting automated media, content, and operational workflows Integrating third-party services and APIs into cohesive systems Monitoring, maintaining, and supporting production systems Ensuring operational continuity through system checks and reporting Preparing operational and technical reports on working days where required

What We're Looking For

We are

not hiring based on a rigid tech checklist

. We value

systems thinking, practical experience, and independence

.

Relevant experience may include:

Professional development experience (typically 3+ years) working on backend or internal systems Designing, building, and maintaining systems rather than only user interfaces Working with automation tools, scripts, job queues, or workflow engines (e.g. n8n, cron jobs, custom automation) Integrating APIs and working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or similar Using containerisation tools such as Docker Comfort working in hosted or cloud-based environments Ability to learn new technologies independently and apply them in production
Experience with

AI-assisted tooling, automation pipelines, or media-related systems

is a strong advantage, but not required.

Practical Requirements

Full-time,

on-premise role based in Centurion

Valid South African driver's licence and

reliable transport required

Working hours: Monday to Friday, 08h00 to 17h00 High level of reliability, accountability, and discretion required due to access to confidential systems and intellectual property

Language

A working understanding of

Afrikaans

is preferred, as some internal communication and context may be bilingual. This is not a strict requirement.

Important Notes

We do

not

offer structured training programmes or formal onboarding tracks The role requires comfort working independently and taking ownership of systems If you require close supervision or extensive hand-holding, this role is unlikely to be a good fit

Why Join Magic Bullet

Small, focused team with minimal bureaucracy High ownership and real responsibility from day one Work on meaningful systems used in production Exposure to automation, AI-assisted workflows, and scalable system design Competitive remuneration based on experience and capability
