DevOps / Build and Release Manager

THIS IS A REMOTE POSITION
Salary is open

WHAT WE DO FOR OUR CLIENTS
We develop sophisticated software products and solutions for some of the world's biggest corporations.

The software that we develop is efficient, scalable and very reliable. We specialise in .Net and complementary frameworks and architect our solutions from the ground up, designing tailor made systems for their intended environment. The majority of our developers are full stack engineers. We understand the entire chain and there is nearly nothing we can't build or solve.

We mainly focus on client software development, but we also offer end-to-end solutions ranging from IT consulting, web development, graphic design, domain name registration, web & server hosting and online backups, amongst other services and products.

HOW WE DO THINGS
We believe in doing things properly, no half-baked actions; doing it right the first time round. We pride ourselves on open communication, healthy relationships and setting expectations.

Very few software development houses or companies with internal development teams do code reviews and this is shocking. We believe that proper code reviewing is part of our key success and one of our many fantastic perks we offer, not only to our team, but equally to our clients and the quality of the products we deliver. We know that the biggest part of learning comes from learning from others, which is one of the benefits our peer reviews offer. We review everything we write before we commit any code. Every review involves the developer and a selected reviewer sitting side by side working through the functionality on a big screen, engaging in a constructive evaluation process. This is perhaps a timely exercise, but worth every penny.
