  • Build, modify, and optimise back-end functionality supporting core auction processes, including bidding logic, transaction handling, and auction result processing.

  • Develop and maintain data processing modules using MySQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch to support auction data, bidding records, search functionality, and reporting.

  • Integrate third-party services such as payment gateways, notification systems, and internal reporting tools through well-structured APIs.

  • Participate in system architecture design, code reviews, testing, and performance optimisation to ensure system stability and scalability.

  • Support cloud-based deployment and system operations (e.g. AWS or similar environments), assisting with application releases and ongoing system monitoring.

  • Ensure software security, data integrity, and technical documentation standards are met, contributing to long-term system maintainability and compliance.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience as a Developer Programmer or Software Developer
  • Strong proficiency in web application development (front-end and/or back-end)
  • Experience with database design and management (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL or similar)
  • Familiarity with real-time systems, transactional platforms, or e-commerce solutions
  • Understanding of system security, data protection, and performance optimisation
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently

Preferred Experience

  • Knowledge of cloud hosting environments and deployment workflows
  • Experience working in small, agile technical teams
