“I joined Zinkworks in 2019 as a Software Engineer with a specialization in DevOps. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working on a variety of projects in both telecommunication and financial domains, each with its own unique applications and tool stacks. These experiences have significantly expanded my expertise and knowledge in the field.
Reflecting on my journey, I’m incredibly proud of the progress I’ve made in my career. The most rewarding aspect of working at Zinkworks is the people. There’s always something new to learn from the colleagues, along with countless opportunities to engage with cutting-edge technologies. I am truly grateful to be working here with a great bunch of people. Zinkworks truly fosters an environment where software engineers can continuously grow and evolve.”
“I joined Zinkworks in 2018 as a software engineer, where I gained extensive experience in designing, coding, and testing. As my career evolved, I transitioned into the role of a Scrum Master, where I facilitated agile development processes and coordinated cross-functional teams. In this role, I ensured smooth communication between the stakeholders and developers, helping my team stay focused and on track to meet project goals.
The best part about Zinkworks is that they are keen on knowing an individual’s career development path and helping them grow. As I wanted to leverage my technical background and leadership skills to guide projects from conception to completion, I put forward my interest to be a project manager. I’m glad that I got a suitable opportunity when I returned from maternity leave, and I have currently taken up the role of a Project Manager in Valeo. My primary focus is to align on business objectives with technical execution, ensuring that the project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality.”

Our Principles
Building a Community Where People Can Grow and Be at Their Best
Professionalism
We have the autonomy to work the way we know is best. We do what we say we will do. We take pride in our work, we commit, we deliver.
Teamwork
We are a safe environment, everyone’s opinion matters. We recognise and appreciate our peers. We give our time to mentor and guide.
Community
We create a welcoming and inclusive environment. We actively support local charities. We maintain a culture of openness and transparency.
Learning & Development
Our Learning and Development team is focused on helping our people, our teams and our account managers perform at their best – at all levels of the business. We offer a broad range of tailored programs that help create an environment that promotes continuous improvement.
Examples include rapid onboarding programs, cloud certification (AWS, GCP, Azure), and domain-expertise programs in the telecoms and financial services industries.
We also have communities of practice in areas like DevOps and Java and provide opportunities to get involved at the business frontlines. We also offer team-based upskilling in key technologies, mentorship programs and leadership development initiatives.
We also provide training platforms, buddy systems for new hires, and are proactive about creating opportunities to grow as leaders.
Our goal is to empower our teams to perform at their very best. This means that together we can remain leaders in our industry.
Women in Tech: Our Cause
We know that our female colleagues are exceptional, and that their experiences will inspire new generations of women in technology. By sharing their stories, we want to celebrate them and their abilities, but we also want to encourage women in our local communities – and across the world – to pursue a thriving career in technology.
