About the company
Stitch is a South African fintech building payments infrastructure APIs so businesses can move money, collect payments, and manage payment operations more easily. Stitch positions the company around modernising financial infrastructure and selling into large South African and global businesses. The public careers content leans heavily on culture, benefits, and “high performance” expectations, with fewer details about how entry-level hiring works in practice. At the time of review, Stitch’s main ATS boards show no live openings, which makes early-career access harder to judge from current listings.
Locations and presence
Stitch is headquartered in Cape Town (Gardens) and also highlights a remote team experience alongside the office-based culture. Public posts suggest a hybrid reality where team events and retreats are a meaningful part of how the company works.
Palpable Score
55.6
/ 100
Stitch is appealing for early-career candidates on benefits and learning investment, especially equity for permanent staff and explicit professional development support. The score is held back by limited visible entry-level roles right now and mixed interview feedback, including reports of technical interviews not matching the role.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

9.0
/ 20
  • The company’s Greenhouse and Workable boards show no current openings, which blocks the most straightforward entry route for graduates today.
  • Stitch has historically advertised a wide mix of roles across product, engineering, sales, and compliance on third-party mirrors, but those listings are often older and do not prove recurring 0–3 year intake.
  • The company does not publish an internship, graduate scheme, or “0–2 years” track on the careers page, so entry-level access looks opportunistic rather than dependable.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.0
/ 20
  • The company runs applications through an ATS (Greenhouse), which supports a consistent application path when roles are open.
  • Stitch has public interview accounts describing multi-round loops (including multiple technical interviews) and at least one recent report where the technical interview felt misaligned with the SRE job description.
  • The company does not publish a standard interview map, timelines, or assessment expectations on the careers page, so transparency depends on what a recruiter shares privately.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company commits publicly to professional development support as a core benefit, which is a concrete signal for ongoing learning.
  • Stitch highlights a remote-working culture with deliberate connection rituals, which can matter for early-career hires who need access to teammates beyond formal meetings.
  • The company does not spell out early-career support mechanics like onboarding length, buddying, 1:1 cadence, or review cycles in public materials, limiting how confidently coaching quality can be assessed.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.3
/ 20
  • The company states that all permanent employees receive equity in the business, which is unusually clear and inclusive for a startup.
  • Stitch publishes benefits such as generous leave and fully reimbursed equipment, which improves early-career stability and reduces out-of-pocket costs.
  • The company does not consistently publish salary ranges alongside roles, so pay fairness for specific junior jobs is hard to verify.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

8.3
/ 20
  • The company does not publish early-career outcome proof such as promotion timelines, retention over 12–24 months, or internship-to-offer conversion rates.
  • Stitch has limited independent employee-review volume, and the available feedback is not detailed enough to summarise repeatable junior progression patterns across teams.
  • The company’s public content is strong on culture and performance expectations, but it does not provide verifiable examples of early-career growth steps like “associate to lead” pathways.
