At NALA, we’re on a mission to build a bank Africa loves to use. We are always keen to hear from capable, creative engineers who want to help us accomplish that goal. 🚀
Customers currently use our app to make payments (in Tanzania and Uganda) 7x faster all without using the internet and across multiple accounts. We’re a small team based in Tanzania, Uganda and Egypt and growing our business and engineering functions. We graduated from Y Combinator a year ago and raised a new round of funding. Find us on TechCrunch, Fast Company and our blog.
