"I joined Zonal in 2023, and as Head of R&D, I’m responsible for several of the development teams in Zonal who look after all the various products across our portfolio."

Chris McKay, Head of R&D

"I would say that, by far, the best part of my job is the pure programming. I love solving problems in an efficient way and developing new functions and features."

Justyna Rosielewska, Tech Lead

"People here seem to want to go out of their way to teach you things, improve your skills and help you out. You very much get impression that we're all part of the same team."

Marcus Buchanan, Software Tester

"If you're in a pub, there's a 50% chance at least that you're going to see some kind of Zonal software being used. You see our products in the wild a lot more, which is really nice."

Chris Stevenson, Lead Product Engineer

"Zonal has invested in the development of my career, so I could become a qualified Software Tester. Their belief and investment in me has had a vast impact on mine and my colleague’s lives."

Donovan Jackson, Senior Software Tester

Everybody is united behind a common goal and it doesn’t matter which part of the organisation you work in. I know it sounds cheesy, but it really is one big family all pushing in the same direction to get the best for our customers.
