“I joined Zinkworks in 2022 and currently work as a Software Engineer, contributing to projects across the telecom and financial services industries. From the beginning, I was trusted with meaningful responsibilities and had the opportunity to learn hands-on alongside experienced engineers.
Working on large-scale telecom systems has been a particularly valuable experience, helping me strengthen my technical skills and better understand how software is delivered in real production environments.
I’m proud of how much I’ve grown, both technically and professionally, and I value being part of a team where there are always opportunities to learn, take on new challenges and continue developing.”
“From the very moment I joined Zinkworks I was met with kindness and laughter from each employee I talked to. From learning new things every day in my apprenticeship with such a carefully curated programme to talking possible growth and future within the company I have been guided so well by my mentors. I have been given resources for anything I have or will set my mind on to grow here.
One of my favourite aspects about working with Zinkworks is their dedication to learning.
With my goal to go down the Product Management route I have been given opportunities to step up in my team and to practice some skills I will need for this future role. It is such a unique opportunity to be able to make mistakes and fix them as I go but with the apprenticeship this is possible and the advice I am getting along the way I will be taking with me throughout my career.”
“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.”
