Summary

What We Do

SimplePay started with a desire to create, innovate and improve, which permeates everything we do. We’ve brought craftsmanship to payroll software and put the “care” back into “customer care”.

Our system takes the headache out of payroll for more than 42 000 companies across South Africa, Singapore, Ireland and Hong Kong – allowing them to produce accurate, compliant payroll and submissions with plenty of time left over to focus on what really matters: growing their own businesses.

Values & Our Culture

It’s our mission to make the world more human and manageable and we’re looking for bright and enthusiastic individuals to help us continue this fight against mediocrity. We're developer-owned and focused on building great software to provide an awesome customer experience. We’re also a fun and diverse group of people who enjoy solving problems, simplifying things and a bit of good banter.

You can read more about the team here, happily spread around the world! :)

In addition to being fully remote, some of the other benefits of joining our team include the peace of mind that we’re a strong company that is not going anywhere anytime soon (other than up!), a collaborative and growth-oriented team, the scope to chart your own course within a supportive framework and being part of something constantly changing and innovating to make the lives of our clients simpler.

What will you be working on?

You will work on various tasks and projects, from bug fixes to major feature updates, all of which will be used by multiple clients daily. We're all about improvement and simplification so even the smallest change has the potential for a big impact in our clients' lives.
