Our Engineering Processes

In this dynamic realm of technology, our customers confront a growing array of business challenges. Big Tech and Data is at the heart of what makes our banks and insurers tick. It is how they make decisions, how they manage their operations and how they provide a competitive offering to their customers. But in such complex businesses, this is no easy task. It takes top talent, experience and diverse technical skills. We strive to offer our clients a comprehensive approach, encompassing both business analysis and its technical execution. Monocle is building out their technological and digital offering for our blue-chip clients and are currently hiring across a range of developer, data, and digital innovation positions.

Our team boasts a roster of experts with robust technical capability, including developers, data engineers, solution architects, and specialists. Our primary objective is to consistently deliver services that best fit our clients' needs. Each of our placed resources are backed and supported by senior team members possessing deep subject matter expertise and years of institutional knowledge gained onsite at our clients.

If you are looking to make a real-world impact in financial services, build your capabilities and work for one of South Africa’s top employers, then we might just have the role for you. Join us in this exciting venture to create a more advanced technological future for our clients!
