We build financial infrastructure for Africa — collections, engagement, distribution, and agentic AI platforms that leading insurers, banks, and telcos run their business on. Six markets. Bootstrapped, cash-flow positive, growing on customer revenue.

This is a 1-year, full-time internship with a path to a full-time role for those who grow with us.

Skills we need

- Solid Java fundamentals;

working knowledge of Spring Boot — REST APIs, JPA/Hibernate

- Basics of SQL and databases (PostgreSQL preferred);

Redis or Kafka exposurea plus

- At least one real project or internship where your code ran for actual users
- AI-native mindset — we build daily with Claude Code and agentic tooling;

you should be excited to work this way

- Solid CS fundamentals: DSA, OS, DBMS, networks — the layer beneath the framework matters here

The profile we look for

- At least 6 months or prior internship
- High agency — you find a way, not a reason
- Problem solvers who think first and build second




- Fast learners with genuine hunger — you've built things nobody asked you to
- Hard work and self-discipline as defaults, not moods
- Team players who believe 1 + 1 = 11
- Curious seekers — about the market, the customer, and the why behind every feature
- Full-time commitment for one year: no parallel internships, no semester conflicts

How we work

- Empathy, engineered · Curiosity, over certainty · Restless, by nature · Own the outcome · Relentlessly resourceful
- Founder-led, flat, remote-first with periodic offsites
- Insight-driven and honest — direct feedback, close to customers, decisions from evidence
- High velocity: daily deployments, production from your first weeks, complexity that grows with you every month

What we offer

- Competitive stipend, PPO Included
- The steepest learning curve of your career — you'll do more here in a year than most do in three
- This is intense, and that's the point.
