Summary

Connect Mobile is a mobile communications software company and communications aggregator, that specialises in CPaaS software and solutions, primarily making use of the SMS, shortcode and USSD channels. The value behind these communication channels is augmented by our unique set of tools, which enable businesses both large and small to manage their use of mobile technology to foster meaningful and valuable interactions with their customers. Simply put, we act as a mobile communication highway, and we enable businesses to painlessly navigate its complex infrastructure.

The development house of Connect Mobile is the focal point, and has been a key to our success in a very competitive market. Our developers form an integral part of our business, and thus every provision is made to ensure all needed resources are provided, along with a relaxing and positive atmosphere, so developers can focus on solving interesting problems, and build creative and meaningful software.

We see all developers as creative contributors rather than manufacturing resources. As such, we have built a culture in which the development team shares and works collectively to make decisions and produce high quality, useful and reliable software. We also try to strike a balance between extensive collaboration and giving a developer enough space to fly solo. While process is important to our methodology, we constantly strive to tear down process barriers to keep software development holistic and iterative.

We make use of many current tech tools throughout our development cycles, from open source tools such as Linux, PHP and Java to build our software, GIT to manage our source code, and REDIS, Elasticsearch and MySQL to store our queues and data, both big and small. Our project management and QC team interact with the production process through Trello, and our company is backed by many of Google's business and security tools.

Working at Connect Mobile, you will be building beautiful and useful new interfaces, solving interesting and complex problems related to queuing and big data, and constantly investigating new technologies and methods to improve our software and process. We iterate and test frequently, and we embrace mistakes as valuable lessons learned alongside our many successes.

As for hiring, all we need from you is a relaxed interview, and the completion of a short online tech assessment to be done at home on your own time.

We look forward to chatting with you!
