How we work

We have several delivery teams that look after a specific product and generally consist of a handful of developers, a tester or two, a business analyst, a product owner and a scrum master / iteration manager.
We embrace Agile Methodologies, teams are self-organizing and deliver products that delight all stakeholders.

As much as possible we encourage our developers to be full-stack. We do have some amazing specialists that can help you with any problems you might encounter.

Our Culture

We have a work hard, play hard culture where we expect people to achieve incredible results and provide opportunities for them to genuinely enjoy themselves at work.

We have sports courts on our campus where people can take part in soccer, volleyball and cricket rosters as well many other company driven initiatives.

Within IT, we strive to have a culture where everyone is able to contribute all of themselves and people are not limited to doing what’s written on their job description. We love passionate, open discussions that help us move towards a culture where technical excellence is the norm and people are able to have a say in shaping the world around them.

Our Hiring Process

We try to make sure that the people we get to join our team are the best possible fit for what we’re trying to achieve. That means that you’ll be amazing at your work, a life-long learner and someone that people love to work with.
