Careers

Build with us.

Samloryx delivers through a small network of specialists rather than a permanent bench. If you build things properly and like working on systems that matter to the business running them, we would like to know you exist.

There are no open roles right now

We would rather say that plainly than run a permanent advert for jobs that do not exist. Samloryx is a small consultancy and it staffs work project by project. What we do keep is a list of people we would call first, and this page is how you get on it. When something fits, we come back to you directly.

Skills we call on

The work we take on, and who we need for it.

Deliberately unfashionable technology, because clients have to be able to maintain what we leave behind.

Backend engineering

Java and Spring Boot, REST and SOAP integration, event-driven work on Kafka, PostgreSQL. People who care what happens under load.

Frontend engineering

React and TypeScript, and the discipline to build interfaces that work on a mid-range Android phone on a bad connection, not only on a laptop.

Cloud & delivery

AWS and Azure, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and the operational judgement to keep a small deployment cheap and boring.

Testing & quality

Automated testing that earns its keep, and people who will say clearly when something is not ready to ship.

How we work with people

What to expect if we call.

01

Project by project

Engagements are scoped and paid per piece of work, with the scope and rate agreed in writing before anything starts. No unpaid trial builds.

02

Remote, South Africa based

The work is remote. We prefer people in South African time zones because most of our clients need to reach someone during their working day.

03

Judged on work, not on a CV

Show us something you built and can explain: a repository, a system you shipped, a problem you solved. That tells us more than a list of years.

04

You keep your name on it

Where a client agrees, we say who did the work. Subject to client confidentiality, we do not hide contributors behind the company.

Register your interest

Tell us what you build.

Send us a short note and a link to something you have made. We read everything that comes in, and we keep it on file rather than deleting it after a month.

Useful things to include: what you work with, where you are based, whether you want project work or something longer, and a repository, portfolio or system we can look at.

We will not always have something for you, and we will not pretend otherwise. If we have nothing, you will not hear from us until we do.

We do not sell your information. See the Recruitment Privacy Notice for exactly what we keep, for how long, and how to have it deleted.

Not an individual, but a studio?

If you run a small agency or development shop and want to talk about delivery partnerships or overflow work, that conversation happens on the partners page.
