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.

Send your CV

Send us your CV.

Applying for one of the roles above, or just want to be on file for later? Attach your CV. We read everything that comes in and we keep it for two years, not until the end of the month.

Useful things to add in the note: what you work with, where you are based, and a link to something you have built that you can talk through.

We will not always have something for you and we will not pretend otherwise. Your CV goes to private encrypted storage, is seen only by the people here doing the hiring, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

PDF or Word document, up to 5 MB.

We do not sell your information. The Recruitment Privacy Notice sets out exactly what we keep, where, 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.
