We've just wrapped up our 12-month Associate Engineering Program! 🥳 Launched at the beginning of the year, this initiative was a bold step for us. We onboarded 12 amazing South African engineers, fresh in their careers, and going on an ambitious journey together. Our engineering team served not only as mentors but as collaborators, guiding them through their journey into the tech world. Throughout the year, they got stuck into projects, joined various squads, pushed their problem-solving skills, and overall gained super valuable hands-on experience 🙌. The growth we've seen has been inspiring. As they step into engineering positions in January 2024, we're not just celebrating their success but also the growth culture we're building here at Zepz. Below are some quotes from the superstars themselves on their experience. We can't wait to see them continue to excel. 🚀 #lifeatzepz #associateengineers

We've made so much progress! 💜 Customer Connections: Next, an inspiring customer session!
