Job Overview:

​We are looking for an experienced Full-Stack Developer with strong front-end skills to work with MAUI Blazor Hybrid applications, the shared Razor component library, and the AI interfaces. You will work alongside the existing Senior Full-Stack Developer (backend and architecture focus) and collaborate closely with our design team.

This is a hands-on role. You will work on front-end and MAUI architecture decisions, build cross-platform apps, and contribute to products that directly impact learners and teachers across South Africa.

• Implement SSO authentication UI (Microsoft, Google, Apple) and account management screens

• Build storefront, user library, and admin panel interfaces

• Deliver offline download management, sync status indicators, and conflict resolution UI

• Build utilisation dashboards with role-based views across learner, teacher, school, and district levels

• Implement data visualisation components (charts, heat maps, KPI cards, sortable tables)

• Conduct code reviews, uphold code quality, and contribute to architecture discussions

• Lead Android and iOS app store submission and release processes

• Translate design handoff documents into pixel-accurate implementations in close collaboration with the design team

​

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of professional C# / .NET development experience

• Proven production experience with .NET MAUI or Xamarin.Forms: cross-platform apps shipping on Windows, Android, and iOS

• Strong Blazor experience: Blazor Server, WASM, or Blazor Hybrid — building component libraries and complex UIs

• Solid grasp of Razor components, data binding, dependency injection, and Blazor lifecycle

• Proficient in responsive and mobile-first UI design and implementation; strong visual sensibility and attention to detail

• Experience with MAUI platform-specific APIs: file access, secure storage, local notifications, connectivity, and device info

• Experience integrating REST APIs from Blazor/MAUI clients using HttpClient and typed service patterns

• Working knowledge of ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, and Microsoft SQL Server

• Understanding of authentication flows: JWT, OAuth 2.0, MSAL (Microsoft Identity)

• Solid Git workflow: feature branching, PRs, code review

Nice to Have

• Experience with Android and iOS app store submission processes (signing, review guidelines, release tracks)

• Experience consuming streaming AI APIs from .NET applications

• Knowledge of offline-first patterns: SQLite, sync queues, conflict resolution

• Experience with Azure services: Blob Storage, App Service, Azure AD / MSAL
