🔥 Hey, we’re Nando’s!
We’re the home of PERi-PERi. The legendary flame-grilled chicken loved all around the world. From our first restaurant in South Africa to thousands of tables today, we’ve been serving up good vibes, great food, and a whole lot of heart.
At Nando’s, we’re all about people, our teams, our customers, and our communities. We bring the heat every day, making sure everyone who walks through our doors leaves feeling a little warmer, a little happier, and a lot more full.
We’re growing fast, but we’re staying true to what makes us us: passion, pride, and PERi-PERi. So if you’ve got fire in your belly and you’re ready to make magic happen, come join the Nando’s family.
Because great experiences start with Nando’s.

Interview Process
Everyone Is Welcome
Inspired by our Southern African heritage we know and value the richness that diversity brings, not just in running a successful business, but in creating a better world for us all to live in. We believe in inclusivity and opportunity for all - at Nando’s you will find people from every country, every race, and every religion working together and eating together.
We believe that there is no such thing as a ‘typical Nandoca’ (our word for employee), but what connects us all is the commitment to being open-minded, embracing and accepting of every individual. We are proud to welcome everyone who shares these values and attitudes. At the same time, we aim to create a place where our people feel they can be themselves, belong, grow and in turn deliver a great experience to our customers.
At Nando’s, we’re all about changing lives, together. That starts with our Nandocas. We deliberately work to create a safe environment where their voices are heard, they can really thrive and grow.
With people at our core, we actively address any barriers our current and future Nandocas face inside and outside Nando’s. We take responsibility and accountability of the role we play and need to continue to play in creating a fairer and equal society, for everyone. And by doing so, we inspire and encourage others to do the same.
Creating a sense of Inclusion and Belonging is essential for our people, our customers and our brand.
At Nando’s, as much as we care about our PERi-PERi, we’re equally passionate about pushing boundaries in tech and engineering to deliver seamless, innovative experiences for our customers and our people. If you love building things that matter, you’ll feel at home here.
We work with a modern tech stack (Node.js, TypeScript, Go, Rust) and Google Cloud, using serverless architecture and API-driven systems to build scalable, efficient solutions. Our front-end and UX teams use React, Next.js, and React Native to craft smooth, connected digital journeys across our apps, website, and loyalty platforms.
Our projects span digital ordering and loyalty integration, data-driven forecasting, learning & employee services, internal app, intelligent rota scheduling and many more — all designed to make life easier for both customers and teams.
What truly sets us apart is our people. We believe diverse perspectives create stronger products, and we’re committed to supporting women in tech and engineering through mentorship, growth, and visibility.
Join us and help shape the future of tech at Nando’s — where innovation, inclusion, and great food come togethe
“At Nando’s, our mission is to use technology to bring people together, creating effortless, personal, and joyful experiences for our teams and our customers, wherever they connect with us.”
Even if you don’t see your perfect role right now, our Corporate Ambassadors are always looking to connect with women in tech from the SheCanCode community.
Many of our partner employers offer training, mentoring, and development to help women grow into their next tech role.
