What is it like to work at KRS?

The Spirit of KRS: Human-centred careers

KRS has always been a human-centred company. The Covid-19 pandemic prompted us to go fully remote and find life-work balance in a new way.

We’re still a social bunch and love to hang out together. On any given day you might find teams playing a quick game of Among Us, enjoying a company braai in Wynberg Park or getting creative at Clay Cafe. The chance to chill out and have some fun is a vital part of our culture.

We actively focus on psychological safety to create an ethos where everyone feels that they belong. We’ve reduced our working hours, run workshops and career upskilling programs and improved our maternity and paternity benefits. We also have a small office with hot desks. This offers teams the opportunity or individuals to connect, if they prefer a more social environment.

Our ethos

We pause and reflect a lot. From quarterly leadership strategy reviews to teams retrospectives. Consequently we are determined to rethink the workplace constructs and reimagine the type of environment that allow our people to thrive and build incredible careers.

Internship Bootcamp 2026

Where IT careers get launched: Join our Internship Bootcamp

KRS is hosting our next Internship Bootcamp for Software Developers in January 2026, a 6-7 week, in-person programme at our Claremont, Cape Town office. We’re looking to welcome up to ten talented interns to join us for this career-launching opportunity. KRS has run successful internships for over a decade, and we’re proud to say that many of our alumni are now professional software developers across the industry.

Helping our youth to get their foot into the door of a career in software development has always been something KRS has been passionate about. We also have been working hard to make sure our internship can become more accessible for all. If you are an IT graduate or currently an IT intern with a passion for developing great software, this is definitely for you.

It is facilitated by a Senior developer and Scrum Master who will provide you with weekly feedback on your progress.

All interns will obtain a Certificate of Attendance at the end of the Internship. Upon completion of the programme, successful interns may also have the opportunity of permanent employment with the company based upon their performance during the internship.
