IT IS OUR EXPERIENCED AND DEDICATED TEAM THAT ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE OUR CLIENTS WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS

WAY TO GROW TALENT We have thus launched our redPanda Software Developer Internship Programme, in which we take on up to ten interns annually.
By providing the platform to develop the required skills, coupled with mentorship from our most experienced developers, redPanda interns receive the grounding they need to propel themselves into highly successful, rewarding and satisfying careers.
To achieve this, we provide practical training and hands-on experience in all relevant toolsets and programming languages. We also instil in our interns the insights that differentiate our software development methodology.
Moreover, we convey all this learning through our ‘Way to Grow’ ethos. A company-wide vision that revolves around the values we believe matters most in the development of software: curiosity, creativity and confidence.
Having grown into a thriving custom software development company, we realised an opportunity to play our part in solving two increasing problems in South Africa: youth employment and the scarcity of young developers entering the industry.
