Hybrid Working
We’re in the office three days a week, with core hours from 10:00 to 15:00. This setup gives you plenty of flexibility to plan your day and enjoy a smoother commute!
Access to Online learning
We encourage continuous learning at Byte Orbit. We design a development roadmap for each individual in the company and work with our employees to support skills development in line with their areas of interest and career objectives.
Annual leave
Our annual leave entitlement is 21 days per cycle. Once you’ve been with the company for 5 years, this increases to 26 days. Those who have been with us for 10 years or more can enjoy unlimited leave. T&Cs apply.
Team building & socials
We host a variety of team building events and other social activities. Byte Orbit’s year end functions are epic!

We have launched an EAP which provides our employees with unlimited access to legal assistance, nutritional and fitness advice, debt assistance and 24/7 trauma counselling.
Starter Pack
All new starters receive a Mac laptop and other equipment necessary to perform your role. You will also receive a gift box full of Byte Orbit swag.
Trust
We trust our employees and we don’t micro manage. We expect you to be responsible for your own commitments and we allow you the freedom to solve problems, make decisions and deliver your work based on your own skills.
Stocked Bar
We have a great bar area, stocked with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for after work drinks. We always encourage socialising responsibly.
Group meditations
At Byte Orbit we are passionate about meditation and we offer 2 group meditation sessions per week over Zoom. Employees are also always encouraged to invite their families to attend if they wish.
Generous parental leave policies
We offer up to four months of parental leave to all employees who become parents. After one year with us, you’ll also qualify for paid parental leave options!
Weekly company standups
We run a varied schedule of sessions every Friday, which is either a general standup and company related feedback with the CEO and MD, or it is some sort of online presentation focused around one of these themes: Relaxation, Motivation, Demonstration or Innovation. Some of these sessions are mandatory, but others are recorded for you to watch in your own time.
Endless career opportunities
We don’t place you in a box. Anywhere you want to grow in the organisation is fair game.
Flexible work hours
We offer flexibility in start and end times. We don’t watch the clock and we expect our employees to take responsibility for time management.
Family responsibility leave
We believe in the importance of being available when your family needs you, therefore our standard family responsibility leave is 5 days.
Modern Offices
Beautiful offices situated in Century City. Uninterrupted view of Table Mountain and the city bowl. Stylish meeting rooms, a comfortable pause area and a
stocked bar.
Adventure Club
A space for Orbiters to encourage one another to stay healthy and active through our monthly hikes and Strava club.
Birthdays
You can take a day off on your birthday. You are welcome to take it on any day of the week (in which it falls). Consider it our gift to you.
Byte Orbit Team Appreciation day
To show appreciation for everyone’s hard work, we give an extra leave day to all our Orbiters to relax and recoup.
Tenure travel bonus
To show our appreciation for your loyalty and service, on your 10 year work anniversary, we will gift you a R50 000 travel bonus towards your dream holiday.
We believe in a culture of constant innovation, co-creation, transparency, knowledge-sharing and mutual support. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we aim to promote fairness and inclusivity in all that we do, which includes the recruitment of people with disabilities.
Stellar: Where values shine
Recognising and celebrating our core values—innovation, authenticity, reliability, impact, initiative, and self-development—is central to our culture. To make this part of daily life, we built Stellar, an in-house platform where employees send Orbstars to colleagues who embody these values. Every Orbstar is shared on our community channel and showcased on Stellar, making appreciation a routine.
Testimonials
It's been an absolute pleasure being a part of the Byte Orbit team for the past four years. I have grown so much since joining. Byte Orbit truly is an environment that encourages skill and people development. I look forward to the next four years.
I started working at Byte Orbit early in my career, and since then I have never stopped growing and learning. I could not imagine a company with a more amazing and inspirational boss than our own, Amit Ramdath. Almost 10 years down the line, and I'm still excited to be part of continuously new and exciting projects. I'm grateful to Byte Orbit for giving me never-ending opportunities to add growth to my career.
I've taken the famous words of our CEO to heart, "When you look back after 12 months you should not recognise yourself". When I look at myself from starting at Byte Orbit to now, I don't see the same person at all, and I owe a lot of that growth personally and professionally to this company. Byte Orbit has given me the freedom to branch out and learn new things while still getting better at my initial responsibilities. I love the work I do and the people I work with have made working at the company a joy.
As clichéd as it may sound, teamwork makes the dream work. I have had the pleasure of working within a team that is committed to a shared vision and the greater success of the organisation. As an HR Generalist, it has been a great experience to be exposed to our leadership team, who are committed to the personal growth of all its employees. “When you look back after 12 months you should not recognise yourself” - Amit Ramdath. This quote is my daily inspiration when I walk through the doors of Byte Orbit.
