This South African Women’s Month, Chillisoft reaffirms our commitment to creating a workplace where women and men are equally supported, empowered, and offered life-changing opportunities.
We’re proud to play our part in providing women in the software development industry with opportunities for growth,, and transformative, career-defining experiences.
One example of such an experience is our working internationally. Here’s how the opportunity to work abroad has positively impacted three incredibly talented female software developers:
Soriya Das: “The opportunity to work in Oman has given me the ability to save enough money to achieve financial independence, something that can be especially challenging as a woman.
Chillisoft is a great place to work for women in software development. There’s no workplace discrimination, and our clear progression framework ensures that you always know how to grow and advance in your career.”
Elizabeth Chibvuri: “Working with Chillisoft in Oman has been a life-changing experience. I’ve developed new skills, taken on responsibilities I never imagined, and built real confidence through hands-on opportunities and daily support.
But the impact extends beyond my career, it has uplifted my family too. I’ve been able to support my children and siblings through better education and stability.
To young South African women: You are capable of more than you think. The road to success may not be easy, but companies like Chillisoft prove there’s room for you to thrive in tech globally. Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. Take that bold leap of faith — and God will do the rest.”
Nishka Maharaj: “Getting the chance to work in Oman has been a real blessing. I’ve gained international experience, worked with people from diverse cultures, and still felt the support of my Chillisoft community throughout.
Living in Muscat has brought benefits I didn’t expect: safer surroundings, better healthcare, and the opportunity to travel to nearby countries I once only dreamed of visiting....
Working abroad is an experience that changes your perspective in powerful ways, it's an opportunity not to be missed.”
This Women’s Month, we honor the stories of Soriya, Elizabeth, and Nishka and all the women of Chillisoft for breaking boundaries, embracing growth, and showing others what’s possible.
