Profile match
Scrums.com is a South African software development company that supplies dedicated engineering teams to clients on a subscription basis rather than through fixed-price projects. Customers subscribe to a level of development capacity and receive squads covering web and mobile development, quality assurance, design and DevOps, managed by the company and scaled up or down as the client's roadmap changes. Based in Johannesburg and working largely with clients in South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States, the company positions the model as a cheaper and more flexible alternative to hiring in-house.

  • Apply engineering rigour appropriate to enterprise SaaS, banking, mortgage, fintech, or other regulated-industry contexts.
