Taurine Technology is a Cape Town startup building Axon, an AI-powered network management platform that gives providers deeper insight, better control and agentic workflows. Axon is hardware-agnostic, running on anything from a Raspberry Pi to a firewall at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems. Our customers range from schools running small networks to ISPs serving tens of thousands of subscribers.

We are hiring a mid-level / senior backend developer located in Cape Town, South Africa. As a backend developer you'll own meaningful parts of the Axon controller, which turns millions of telemetry data points per site into insight and control. You'll also build the LLM tooling our agents use to classify traffic, troubleshoot and enforce policy, delivered over MCP.

You will work on:

• High-throughput telemetry ingestion under tight CPU, memory and disk budgets
• Systems resilient to unreliable links and offline devices, built for remote networks
• MCP integrations that let agents act autonomously while keeping operators in the loop
• New traffic intelligence features, from classification through to anomaly detection
