Internship & Careers
Great people create great ideas. We believe in people.
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
Where IT careers get launched: Join our Internship Bootcamp
We hosted our internship programme in early 2024. We realise the awful impact Covid 19 has had on many graduates’ career plans, having their internships cancelled, their studies being moved to remote lectures and graduations delayed, it’s been a scary and uncertain time for all.
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’ve run an annual software internship for over a decade and it has kick started many successful careers. 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.
