Responsibilities

This opportunity requires an individual who is efficient, committed, and resilient, maintaining a problem-solving mindset to devise strategic solutions. You will also be an excellent communicator as you will need to provide customer service to end-users, sharing knowledge and information between developers, and collaborating with team members.

A crucial element of this role is to build solutions which help MAF fulfil its mission and purpose, to bring help, hope and healing through aviation to people living in isolation and poverty. This is done through software quality, consistency and maintainability by unit testing, code peer review and developer testing. You will also ensure that any new functionality or change is adequately tested prior to deployment.

There is an occupational requirement for the job holder of this position to be a committed Christian.  The post holder will be expected to lead and take part in prayer and biblical reflection and to be a role model for the organisation in accordance with our Christian beliefs and standards in the work place.
