Eat, sleep, code, and repeat!

Is this you? Is coding your passion?

Webafrica is a top ISP in the country and we are looking for a developer who is edgy, keen on building an online environment that works like a well-oiled machine and is meticulous in doing so.

We are looking for the CSS to our HTML – a perfect fit!

In addition, this person can turn code into functional art, of sorts, and will be given source code good enough that it just could change the view of the world!

Interested?

Great! Then stop hiding in room 404 where we can’t find you, step forward and show us the strength of your algorithms.

About The Employer:

We are 24 years old. We’re ancient in internet years so we’ve been around the block and we’re here to stay.

We’re not a fancy ‘start-up’ and we can’t remember if we were born in a garage.

We have done all sorts of internet things along the way but now we just focus on what we’re best at, getting South Africans online with increasingly fast internet and giving them a great experience once they get there.

Garage or not, we do know we were born in Cape Town. About 190 Webafricans still thrive in a fancy office in Upper Woodstock (the posh part) but we opened an office in Joburg a couple of years ago, Grayston Drive, we’ll have you know (even posher), just to reassure our Gauteng doubters that we’re not a 419 scam.

We’ve got over 60,000 customers and we’re growing so fast that someone should probably get fired for not updating the figure by the time you read this.

We’ve got a small Board and a small Shareholder group with no boring institutional investors to slow us down, although amongst that small group we have massive experience to help us to continually become more fabulous at what we do – our Board members have all been founders/CEO’s of successful businesses, locally and internationally including: Storm Telecom, Teraco, Smartcom, Host Europe Group.
