Introduction

We are a small company, and each employee is an intrinsic member of the team. We are continually on the lookout for quality people. This document covers some of the basic information you will need to know if you are exploring the idea of working with us.

What We Do

We are a software, and electronics, development company. To this end we; Most of our work involves building products which we then take to market commercially. Occasionally we do custom development, but that is unusual, and is usually as an ancillary for an existing customer. As commercial products the work has to maintain a particularly high standard.

Who We Do It For

Most of our income comes from customers outside of South Africa. Our installed base exceeds several thousand sites, and our code is used in products used by hundreds of thousands of users. We regularly travel abroad to attend conferences, to train users and to do marketing.

Skills in Demand

As we develop a wide range of server and client software, across a broad range of platforms, we necessarily have people with a wide range of skills. Some skills are more in demand, or more urgently required. The current needs are listed below;

Embedded C / Linux programmer

Experience with C programming, especially on Linux. Programming of embedded devices, possibly including PIC processors would be a bonus.
Needs to be comfortable with the Linux command line, Shell scripts, C language and so on.

Windows / Web Programmer

Should have strong programming skills in an imperative language (C, Pascal, Basic, Clarion, Java or whatever) along with reasonable experience with web source code (html, css & JavaScript). jQuery experience would be a bonus.

Technical Support

We have customers for our products around the world, and we believe in top-notch support for those products. This means we need top-notch support people, who have good technical skills, good communication skills and most importantly good problem solving skills. Any experience in the Time ad Attendance industry would be a bonus.

What We Look For

There is no cookie-cutter specific person which we employ. Each person is different and brings different skills, and responsibilities to the team. We don't care about your color, your gender, or your age. We do however care about the following;

Our Work Environment

Our primary work-space are our offices in Diep River, which is in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa. If we're going to spend a lot of our lives at work anyway, it may as well be a place we like to go.

Every programmer, and indeed almost all other employees as well, have their own office. We don't have any cubicles.

We believe in people having the right equipment to do their job. That means up-to-date computers, with multiple flat-screen monitors, plus any other bits and pieces you need to get the job done. Your environment should not hold you back.

We work hard, but hard work needs a release occasionally. To that end we have a pool table, a table-tennis room, a large kitchen and an open-plan lounge with comfortable sofas.
