our DNA
At The Workshop, we invent and reinvent software solutions so businesses can rise above the competition. From disruptive software to cutting-edge technology, we’re all about thinking big and bringing our razor-sharp ideas to life. We’re not bogged down by process or limited by lack of aspiration. And we trust each other to make intelligent decisions, to challenge, change, improve and perfect. It’s a culture where forward-thinkers like you can be fearless.
Your mission
You’ll be part of a super-motivated Software Development team that’s structured around product-centric PODs. Each POD includes technical leadership, development, architecture, QA, and product and project management functions. Whether your POD focuses on sports, website or platform games, it’ll be your job to expand their online functionality and improve their appearance.
Using JavaScript, HTML and CSS, you’ll create simple, intuitive and effective web-based Graphical User Interfaces that make our online games even more compelling and engaging. For you, it will be a labour of love and a chance to put your own bright ideas into action.
