New Generation Group · Johannesburg, South Africa ·
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior
Full-Stack Software Developer to lead the development, stabilization, and
enhancement of the SHERQ365 application. This role requires managing a complex
project involving an AI-generated codebase, with responsibilities encompassing
code assessment, backend API development, authentication, database
infrastructure, notifications, offline synchronization, and testing. The
candidate must deliver production-ready features across modules, mitigate
technical debt and risks, and propose efficient compromises to align with
quality and timeline objectives.
The project involves refining an AI-generated
frontend (built with v0.dev), characterized by inconsistent patterns, absent
documentation, incomplete error handling, and hardcoded mock data, into a
robust enterprise system with integrated backend functionalities.

(e.g., defer Google OAuth, email-only notifications).
Implement 100% of mission-critical features
(e.g., offline sync) and at least 95% of all specified requirements.
Conduct milestone reviews
and user acceptance testing (UAT) to verify feature completeness against the
document's scope.
Risk Mitigation
Effectiveness
Management of high-risk areas (e.g.,
Authentication, Offline Sync) to prevent production issues.
Reduce high-risk items to medium or low by
project end, with zero critical security vulnerabilities.
Perform risk assessments
at key milestones using tools like OWASP checklists and track via a risk
register.
Testing and Security
Compliance
Thorough testing and hardening to ensure
application reliability and security.
Achieve 95% pass rate in unit/integration tests
and pass all security audits.
Monitor test results from
frameworks (e.g., Jest, Cypress) and security scan reports (e.g., from Snyk
or similar).
Documentation and
Reporting
Production of necessary documentation and timely
progress reports.
Deliver bi-weekly reports and lightweight docs
covering 100% of key modules.
Review submission logs and
completeness checklists in project management software.
Overall Budget Adherence
Alignment with financial constraints based on
hourly rate.
Stay within R616,250 budget equivalent.
Calculate total
expenditure from hours and rate, reviewed monthly.
