Front end developer (Cape Town)

About
At the factory our mission is to simplify creative performance production at scale. We do this to free up time for our clients which they in turn can utilize to their highest value.

Our roots have always been in digital creative and we have been remote servicing clients in Europe while being based in Cape Town for over two decades. Since our pivot just two years ago to becoming a B2B SAAS company offering creative performance at scale we have rapidly grown our portfolio of international enterprise clients. Today we are the largest performance production specialist with its own SAAS model in Switzerland.

Our values are: people first, reliable, supportive, ambitious, fairness, we value nature. Our team is built with passionate, culture-driven people and we are ready to grow (even) faster. Our vision for 2030 is to service the 30 largest clients in our field of expertise worldwide. That’s where we need your help!

As a people-first company we take care of our people.
