What They Say About Working With Us
We are committed to growing exceptional tech talent in Africa. As a team, we leave no Martian behind and invest in each other’s growth so that we can all succeed together as a close-knit, diverse team – no matter where you are located or what your career trajectory may be.
My primary role as CTO at Deimos is to promote an environment where technical excellence shines and where engineers are set up for success. This involves a strong focus on coaching, mentoring, and leading technical initiatives on all fronts through a servant leadership approach.
CTO
The three words I would use to describe the Deimos culture are growth, empathy and respect.
Principal Site Reliability Engineer
Deimos has always struck me as a company with exceptional talent. My experience thus far has been nothing short of inspiring. The people and culture are what define a company, and Deimos has exemplified this through the way my fellow Martians have fostered a friendly, warm, yet driven work environment. It truly is a space where you can do your best work and have fun while doing it.

Our Tech Stack
We are a team of Polyglot Developers who are certified and expertly experienced across Google, AWS, and Azure. Together, we have successfully helped many businesses make the journey to the cloud.
We take pride in our ability to take on complex tasks and adapt our tech stack and technologies to align with our client requirements. All the solutions we provide are designed by applying cloud-first architecture and industry best practices. This often involves building distributed services that are containerized and deployed into Kubernetes.
Some of the technologies that we often encounter include Java, .Net Core, NodeJS, ReactJS, and Kubernetes.
Joining Deimos means using and staying up-to-date with the latest technology and industry trends. Every Martian is encouraged to investigate and propose new technologies that will improve and add value to our clients and internal processes.
If you enjoy trying out new technologies and want a career opportunity where you are not boxed in to using the same tech stack or working on 1 product for the next 2 years, Deimos could be the place for you to grow as a well-rounded and competent technologist who is confident to take on any challenge!
We are committed to empowering and creating more opportunities for young engineers in technology across Africa. By growing our tech presence in Africa and becoming known worldwide, we can provide opportunities for young African software engineers to grow, thrive, and leave their mark on the global technology industry.
We have recently partnered with She Code Africa, a non-profit organisation whose mission is to build a community that embodies technical growth, networking, mentorship, and visibility amongst women in tech. We have dedicated time and funds to mentoring and ensuring that women partaking in SCA’s Site Reliability Engineering Bootcamp get the support they need to complete the program and eventually get an offer to intern with us.
Growing young and aspiring engineers is important to us. Our internship programme provides hands-on experience by encouraging interns to get involved in real-life or simulated projects. Interns are also provided with an opportunity to complete relevant certifications. We support and guide interns throughout their internship to ensure that they have the resources needed to succeed, and hopefully, secure a full-time position at Deimos!
