Summary

What we do

Episerver connects digital commerce and digital marketing to help organizations create unique digital experiences for their customers, with measurable business results.

The Episerver Digital Experience Cloud™ combines content, commerce and multi-channel marketing in a single platform to work full-circle for businesses online – from intelligent optimization and lead-generation through to conversion and repeat business – with unprecedented ease-of-use.

Why Work For Us

We offer the best of a small company and a large company - a smaller local office where you will be personally mentored and developed while also being part of the larger global Episerver family. The clients you will get exposed to are household names both in South Africa and worldwide. You will also be gaining valuable experience in high-demand skills which will increase your own value and your value to Episerver.

Our Culture

We have a 'lifestyle' culture at the company where results are rewarded and no-one watches the clock. We expect every employee to have the most excellent of standards so that we can deliver superb support to clients and partners while ensuring we have a pile of fun doing it.

Our Hiring Process

Usually we have a telephone chat first and then, if we proceed, you'll have a first interview with us where you may be tasked to prepare something like a short demo or presentation. You will then come back 1-2 weeks later for a second interview to show what you prepared. If we like you and you like us, we'll then make you an offer!

Nothing like a little tipple on the Ecommerce Expo stand to draw a crowd :)
Quad-biking, clay pigeon shooting and riding... we have fun in-between projects because otherwise why live in Cape Town?
