But the words of some of our developers put it much better than we can:

• “Every one of our products carries the imprint of the people who built it.”
• “Being a software developer at GFI is challenging, fun and most of all rewarding: watching the code you’ve written deployed into production to become part of something bigger.”
• “The role is dynamic, you never know what issues will arise or what new features customers will request. GFI are willing to give you the time to cross-train to new languages and the close-knit teams of developers and testers provide all the support you need to succeed” 
• “GFI may be an international company but they have successfully retained the small company feel where it is a pleasure to socialise with people inside and outside of work.”
• “In my role, I don't work on one boring CRUD application; instead I work on lots of cool things.  We work with a diverse range of technologies, so there is always an opportunity to get your hands dirty with something new, and develop with the latest tech.”
