Careers at Code Smithers

We build websites, software and IT solutions for real businesses. Here is who we look for and how to get in touch.

Real client projects

Websites, stores and systems for businesses, not demo work. See some in Our Work.

Plain-language teamwork

We explain decisions in terms clients understand, and we expect the same of each other.

Nairobi-based, working worldwide

Our clients are in Kenya and beyond, and projects run through a shared portal.

Work With Us

Do careful work? Let’s talk.

We build websites, software and IT solutions for businesses, and we’re always interested in people who do careful work and explain it plainly. This page tells you who we look for, how we work, and how to introduce yourself.

We’re a small team that builds for real clients, so you will talk to the people doing the work.

“Show us what you’ve built, tell us what you want to work on, and we’ll take it from there.”

Who We Look For

Five areas, one standard.

Our work covers the areas below. If one of them is yours, we’d like to hear from you, whether you are experienced or just starting out.

Web development

Responsive business websites and web applications.

Custom software and databases

Tools built around a client’s own workflows and data.

UX and UI design

Interfaces that are easy to understand and use.

IT support and security

Practical help with everyday technology and keeping systems safe.

Marketing and content

SEO, content, social media and email campaigns.

Whatever the area, we value people who care about the client’s business as much as the code, finish what they start, and say so early when something is going wrong.

How to Apply

Three steps, right here.

You apply on this page. There is no email to write: just fill in a short form and upload your CV if you have one.

  1. 1

    Pick a role

    Choose Apply on a role in Open Roles above. If nothing fits, and tell us what you do.

  2. 2

    Fill in the short form

    Your name and email, a few lines about yourself, your CV as a PDF or Word file (up to 1.5 MB), and a link to your portfolio or GitHub if you have one. A phone number is optional. Real work you can point to matters more than a long list of titles.

  3. 3

    We read it and reply

    We read every application. If there is a fit, we’ll set up a call to talk about your work and what you would like to do.

A few roles may send you to their own application page. When that happens, the Apply button opens it in a new tab. If the form gives you any trouble, you can still email codesmith.sc@gmail.com with the subject “Application” followed by the area you work in.

Your information

We use what you send only to consider your application and reply to you, as described in our Privacy Policy. Please don’t include ID or passport numbers, bank details or passwords. A CV with your contact details and work history is all we need.
