What we do

Over the past 18 years, Codeo has established its reputation as a leading consulting and software development agency in Durban. We've collaborated with customers on a number of amazing projects and have also been brave enough to launch our own products that we continue to actively support from an engineering and product design perspective. Recently, we launched a new product on Trello called SendBoard - check it out if you use Trello!

Why Work With Us

We have an incredible team that love designing and developing solutions using the latest technologies and standards. We constantly reevaluate our tools and processes to maximise the time we spend on aspects of software development we love.

Our Culture

At Codeo, we engineer web & mobile products that have a positive impact. We love learning and solving challenging problems in new ways. We love that technology lets small teams solve big problems. We focus on what we love to do and what we are brilliant at, to build products we are proud to share with those around us.

Our values are excellence, empathy, innovation, ownership, strategy and teamwork. These are practiced through 30 key principles which we refer to as the Codeo Way. At any point in time we are focusing on improving ourselves in one of these areas. Examples of key behaviours are “Listen Generously”, "Master your Tools" or "Check your ego at the door".

Our core value is excellence. We want to ensure that everything we do is aligned to being excellent. From crafting an email, to writing documentation, code, testing or design, we want to ensure that we do an excellent job. Some of our behaviours aligned to this are "Make quality personal" and "Be hungry to be better".

We have fully embraced the remote work movement and support employees working from wherever they feel the most comfortable.

Our Engineering Processes

We have a relatively robust process of designing, developing, testing and deploying code. We follow a kanban approach for development using Trello (we're huge Trello fans, having recently launched a PowerUp called SendBoard to support our help desk in Trello). In terms of quality, we generally practice TDD but also rely on a mix of collaborative code review processes and structured testing to ensure we meet our quality benchmarks. We are currently focusing on entrenching a strong DevOps culture in our team. Our builds and deployments are fully automated and we are currently focusing on automating all of our post deployment smoke tests.

Our Hiring Process

This is what you can expect when interviewing with us.

Our interview process has the following stages:

1. Intro Call - An intro call (30 mins) to find out more about each other and the role. This will cover high level technical/cultural fit.
2. Technical Assessment - In lieu of a public GitHub profile with sufficient work in the last 12 months to assess technical fit, a technical assessment (conducted online in your own time) will be assigned. If you do tackle the assessment, and we decline to move forward, we'll thank you for your time with a Takealot voucher 😊
3. Technical Interview - Technical interview with the engineering team (60-90 mins). In this session you will meet people you will work with, and you can expect a few questions about projects/technologies you've worked with. You will be able to ask a few questions of your own.
4. Final interview - the final interview will be 60-90 mins. This is the final step in the process, and you can expect to meet a wider selection of the Codeo team.
