Job description

We’re hiring: Telematics Developer


Office based, George – Western Cape


Are you a hands-on Python developer with a passion for turning data into powerful, real-time insights? Do you thrive in an agile environment where you can prototype, build, and deploy tools that directly impact business and customer outcomes?


At Dotsure, we’re redefining how insurance and technology work together. We’re looking for a telematics developer to help shape the systems behind our next-generation telematics solutions.

The Opportunity

As a telematics developer, you’ll be at the heart of building and scaling our custom-built analytics tools.

Key responsibilities:

• Enhance and extend our custom-built Streamlit telematics platform.
• Integrate Python apps with SQL databases, Azure services, and third-party APIs.
• Build and maintain data pipelines to support automated scoring and real-time reporting.
• Develop interactive dashboards and visualisations using Plotly express, including geospatial views.
• Refactor existing code for performance, scalability, and modularity.
• Contribute to architectural and design decisions—prototype, test, and ship.
• Support AI/ML integration projects such as risk scoring, alerting, and event detection.

What we’re looking for


Education and experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or similar.
• 2–4 years building Python-based data apps (Streamlit, Dash, or Flask).
• Experience in insurance or telematics is a plus, but not required.

Requirements

Technical skills:

• Advanced Python (Pandas, Plotly, NumPy, SQLAlchemy).
• Experience with Streamlit, Reflex, or interactive dashboards.
• Strong working knowledge of SQL, REST APIs, and Azure cloud tools.
• Bonus: Geospatial libraries like GeoPandas, Folium, or similar.
• Comfortable with Git, VS Code, and modern coding standards.

Soft skills:

• Passion for clean, reusable, and efficient code.
• Enthusiastic about exploring data and extracting real-world value.
• Excellent communicator who thrives in a collaborative, high-impact team.

At Dotsure, we believe the future of insurance is real-time, data-driven, and customer-centric. As part of our nimble and fast-growing telematics team, you’ll have room to shape the architecture, influence product direction, and make your mark on tools that touch thousands of lives.

We offer:

• A startup mindset within a secure, established organisation
• Autonomy to build, break, and improve
• Exposure to AI, risk modelling, and geospatial insights
• A clear path to growth in a high-tech domain
