Why Work For Us

Kazang is all about the people. Without them, Kazang would not exist. We know the balance of having fun, and working hard. Keen to embrace new technologies, we are always aware of why we need to change, and how easy it is to support.

Developers are encouraged to explore the best way to solve the problems we have, but are always accountable for the work that they do. We provide high spec laptops, dual HD monitors, docking station and wireless keyboard / mouse.

Be part of our "Thirsty Thursdays" and connect with colleagues and if you're feeling more active, join our Park Run teams and social Padel sessions.

Our Engineering Processes

Plan, Develop, Test, Release, Check, Maintain...

The team is relaxed and unencumbered by heavy-laden methodologies and strict development cycles. Minimal over watch with high emphasis on self-management enforces code-ownership. Support structures are in place for knowledge sharing amongst developers.

Our Hiring Process

Our process is informal, but we aim to investigate 3 things:

  1. Are you the right fit for the team. Are you a self-starter, do you look at the bigger picture, can you work alone, do you know when to ask for help, are you aware of the impact of the changes that you are making?
  2. Can you code as well as you say you can?
  3. Do we tick all of your boxes?

You will meet with some of our developers, and managers, and we will give you a technical test to complete at home.
