React Developer

Overview

The Linkage platform is a multi-tenanted SaaS platform used by corporates and SMMEs so that corporates can identify suitable SMMEs to develop them into suppliers for the corporate.

The platform is built using the following technology stack:

Flask framework (Python 3.6) hosted on AWS Fargate ECS;

The solution consists of other AWS services to ensure that it satisfies enterprise-grade requirements.
