Senior Full Stack Engineer - Contract - Frontend Leaning
Our story actually starts in Rosettenville, a Portuguese neighbourhood in Johannesburg, South Africa. It was 1987 and Robbie Brozin and Fernando Duarte opened their first chicken restaurant. Now, with over 480 restaurants (and counting), our PERi-PERi is a bestselling hot sauce and Nando's has become as big a part of culture as drinking tea.
We care as much about them as we do our legendary, flame-grilled PERi-PERi - because it's the people that make the chicken.
Inspired by our Southern African heritage, we know and value the richness diversity brings. We've even been recognised as one of the industry leaders by the Financial Times.
