Jobs

We are always looking for talented and passionate software engineers and designers to join the blackCurrant family.

Whether you are a freelancer, contractor, looking for a part-full-time role, or simply looking to supplement your income with a side-hustle, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

We will give you...

01.

...lots of flexibility and freedom

We trust in our people and therefore can offer a lot of flexibility when it comes to working conditions and working hours. We don’t like micromanaging.

Whether you are a freelancer, contractor, looking for a full-time position, or simply want to supplement your income with a side-hustle, we are sure we can find something for you if we believe you are a good fit.

02.

...highly attractive incomes

We pay at highly competitive rates. We believe that good work should be rewarded accordingly. If you are happy with your income, you’ll do great work. If you do great work, customers are happy. If customers are happy, we are happy. Win-win-win!

Depending on the projects you are working on, you can be paid on an hourly basis, or at fixed costs based on deliverables. We are always happy to work out something which works best for all parties.

 

03.

...lots of learning opportunities

When working on projects at blackCurrant, you’ll have the opportunity to use the latest tools and technologies, and, in the process, learn new skills.

We also value personal growth. So we are always looking for ways to help members of the blackCurrant family grow, not only technically, but also as professionals and individuals. For example, we often encourage developers and designers to take part in client demos to enhance their presentation skills.
04.

...exciting projects to work on

We work a lot with start-ups which are experimenting with cutting edge ideas and technologies. You’ll therefore get the chance to work on projects which are exciting, challenging, and diverse.

You’ll also get the opportunity to contribute your own ideas to the projects you are working on – whether that is from a technical implementation perspective or a functionality perspective.

We expect from you

01.

...honest and open communication

We believe that honest and open communication is the backbone of any professional relationship. We like to work with people whom we can trust and who are always upfront with us. We are all in the same boat and here to help each other.

As an example, if you are running late on a task, we like to be made aware of it as early as possible so we can manage clients’ expectations and also work together to find a mitigation strategy.
02.

...that you know your stuff

We like working with skilled people who care about the quality of their work and are always striving to get better by continuously learning and staying on top of the latest trends.

We don’t expect you to know or have an answer for everything, but we do expect you to be proactive and go and learn what is required in order to fill any gaps.
03.

...that you honour your commitments

For us, commitments are sacred. When we make a commitment to a client (e.g. set a delivery date), we’ll do whatever it takes to honour that commitment.

We therefore need you to honour your commitments to us so that we can honour our commitments to our clients.
04.

...a willingness to go the extra mile

We do not content ourselves with doing the bare minimum. We do not strive for “good enough” but strive for “great”.

To deliver a great product or solution, you need to be willing to go the extra mile. It can be anything from that nice page transition animation, to that extra optimisation which results in a very fast page loading. We know we’ve gone the extra mile when the client says “WOW!”.
