Data Pipeline Maintainer

At Showmax, we bring world class video-on-demand entertainment to our customers across the African continent. For us, that means fun, innovation, cutting-edge technology, and building products people love to use. We believe in our work, and we focus on working with people — pushing people to learn, experiment, and bring new ideas to the table.
