Summary

What we do

Yellow Dog focuses on using the appropriate technology and resources at the appropriate time for the appropriate reasons. This has led to us becoming known as a true integration company to our customer base and to the coining of the phrase "Highly Specialised Generalists" to describe our team and what we do.

After being established in 1998, with an initial focus on providing technical solutions to IT centric environments, our company has grown and matured and our offering has expanded to provide end to end consulting and services across the diverse ICT landscape.

Why Work For Us

We maintain a broad set of skills across both mainstream and niche technologies and, whilst we are a certified Microsoft partner and have a wealth of skill and experience on this technology stack, we are not bigoted or biased against any particular platform or technology. Having said this, should an individual wish to focus on and be the specialist in a specific technology or discipline, we are flexible enough to accommodate this.

At Yellow Dog we keep abreast of technological developments and continually upgrade our skills and offerings in line with this, for example, we have been providing integrated mobile solutions to our customers since 2003.

We work on diverse, interesting and challenging solutions across a number of clients and we are constantly evaluating and exploring new technologies and keeping abreast of industry trends.

We are busy changing focus and have started packaging some of our existing technology into products for the market and we will be including several breaking technologies, amongst others, biometrics (multi-factor), machine vision, OpenCV, AI and Blockchain.

Our Culture

We are passionate about our work, our people and our sponsors. Because of our love for what we do, we equate ourselves to professional athletes and this is why we call our customers sponsors.

Our Engineering Processes

We were early adopters of agile, utilising the Extreme Programming approach from when the company was founded. We continue to adopt an agile approach where appropriate, but we are pragmatic in our approach to projects, deliverables and client scenarios. Where an alternative approach is more appropriate, we are flexible enough to adopt the required processes.

Our Hiring Process

We will screen your CV and have an initial interview, should we wish to proceed, you will be requested to do a technical assessment at our premises.
