Namocorp is a leading-edge South African based Technology and Software company that develops bespoke software solutions. Namocorp was founded with a clear sense of Why – that purpose, cause or belief that goes beyond the software we develop or the services we offer.
We do IT differently… by disrupting, innovating, and revolutionizing!
We believe in doing everything differently, from how we engage and add values to our Customers, our People, right down to the way we interact with the Environment.
Why Work for us
We are a young close-nit team, offering an environment that promotes collaboration and innovation. We strive to offer the best working environment possible to keep our team happy.
Our Culture
We're casual and we operate with an open-door policy, if you want to talk with anyone on our team, you just go and do it. We focus on things like interesting work and solving challenging problems without having to deal with corporate hang-ups. And we do it all in slops, jeans, and t-shirts. While we have an existing tech-stack to consider, you'll also be free to suggest any new tool or solution that you want to try out and just run with it, if you can justify it to your teammates.
Our Engineering Processes
We follow Agile development methodologies, so our clients experience increased productivity and ensure we deliver significant business value early in the development process. We are Agile enough to follow other methodologies as well as customizing a hybrid development methodology suited to our clients’ needs.
