Full-Stack Developer
Johannesburg
A fast-growing scale-up SaaS company has a new opening in their team for a talented Software Developer. This individual will help build, improve and support its expanding product and user base.
Your focus will be on frontend development while gaining valuable backend experience as well supporting their product. You'll work closely with their Product/Design and development team to reduce technical debt, implement robust testing practices and build incredible experiences helping them scale from 5,000 to 10,000 users over the next 18 months.
By joining this team, you'll get exposure to the whole business across Sales, Marketing, Success, Product and Tech, with significant opportunities for growth and skill development.

What You'll Gain
At Progressive Edge, we’re not a bulk recruitment agency. We’re a focused technology search firm for high-growth, forward-thinking companies that care deeply about who they hire and how they hire.
We work with scale-ups, SaaS businesses, and innovative tech-led organisations - especially those in SaaS, payments, and product software development environments, who value precision, clarity, and true partnership in their hiring.
We specialise in mid-to-executive level search & recruitment services, offering retained and executive search services to leaders who want to build lasting teams, not just fill roles.
Our clients aren’t looking for shortcuts. They’re looking for alignment. And so are we.
What Makes Us Different:
👉 We’re a search partner, not a CV broker. Every search is intentional, research-led, and run by senior specialists with over 15 years of experience hiring for technology and product environments.
👉 Our model isn’t about volume or speed at all costs. It’s about accuracy, thoughtfulness, and care.
Although our fees are comparable to traditional contingent recruitment models, the way we work is different:
👉 We ask for meaningful partnership, dedicated engagement, and a commitment to collaboration—because that’s what it takes to find the right people, not just the available ones.
We bring:
👉 Deep knowledge of the South African tech and product talent markets
👉 A curated, confidential process designed for complex or business-critical hires
👉 A values-driven approach, grounded in quality, competence, and long-term thinking
We work best with founders, investors, executives, and leadership teams who are building something meaningful and want to do it with the right people beside them.
If you value clarity over chaos, thoughtful process over shortcuts, and genuine partnership over transactions—we’re built for you.
