Careers

Build the things
institutions rely on.

Most software is used once and forgotten. Ours gets opened at 7:40 on a Monday by someone with four hundred children to account for. That is a harder problem, a better one, and the reason this work is worth a career.

What we look for

We hire for judgment, care and appetite — in that order — and treat credentials as evidence rather than qualification. Ghana has a great deal of capable engineering talent whose CV does not look like a Silicon Valley CV. That is an opportunity, and our hiring is built to find it rather than filter it out.

01
Judgment Can you reason about a problem you have not seen before — and say plainly what you do not know?
02
Care Do you mind about the person at the other end of the software? Craft without care produces impressive systems nobody can use.
03
Appetite Are you trying to become excellent? We would rather have someone growing quickly than someone who arrived finished.

What we owe you

Written down before we are large enough to be careless about it. These are commitments from our founding charter, not perks.

—
Honest pay Benchmarked properly and reviewed on a schedule — not in response to a resignation.
—
Ownership As the company grows, the people who built it should own part of it. Equity is not a substitute for salary.
—
Sustainable hours Sustained overwork is a planning failure charged to employees. We treat it as the management error it is.
—
A real say Anyone may challenge any decision, including the founder's, on the merits — without it counting against them.
—
Training before you are exposed Everyone learns in our simulation lab before touching a live institution. Nobody learns on a real school.

Open roles

Four positions. If none fits and you think we are wrong not to have advertised yours, use the last one.

Full-Stack Engineer

Engineering·Accra or remote in West Africa·Full time
+

The work

You would own features end to end across the stack we actually run: TypeScript and Postgres on the backend, Flutter for the mobile applications, and a React admin console. Not a ticket queue — a whole problem, from the conversation with a bursar through to the release that fixes it.

You would be right for this if

  • You have shipped something real that other people depended on
  • You are comfortable owning a feature from database schema to the screen
  • You write things down — we start consequential changes as prose, not tickets
  • You would rather make something reliable than something clever

What would make you stand out

  • Experience building for weak networks, offline tolerance or low-end devices
  • Mobile money integrations, or anything where money movement had to be exactly right
  • You have supported your own code in production and learned from it
Not required: a computer science degree, a famous employer, or a particular number of years. We assess with real, paid work — not puzzles that measure interview practice.

Field Operations Agent

Field·Greater Accra, travelling·Full time
+

The work

You put SchoolBridge into schools and make sure it stays working. That means demonstrating it to head teachers, onboarding a school properly in a single visit, training staff, and being the person who answers when something is wrong.

This is not a sales job with a target. It is how the company keeps its promises, and how it learns what to build next.

You would be right for this if

  • You are genuinely comfortable in a school office, with a head teacher's full attention
  • You explain things clearly to people who do not use technical language
  • You are organised enough that nothing falls through between visits
  • You would rather say "I do not know, I will find out" than guess

What would make you stand out

  • You have worked in or around schools, and know how a term actually runs
  • You speak Twi, Ga or Ewe alongside English
  • You have trained adults on something before
Before your first school: you train in our simulation lab until the demonstration is boring. Nobody learns on a live school.

Customer Support Specialist

Support·Accra·Full time
+

The work

You are the person a bursar reaches at 8:40 on a Monday when an invoice will not raise. You understand the product deeply enough to actually solve it, in the customer's own language, and you feed what you learn back to the people who build it.

You would be right for this if

  • You have the patience to work a problem through with someone who is stressed
  • You write clearly and briefly
  • You notice when the same question keeps arriving, and say so
  • You are honest about a fault rather than defensive about it
Why this role matters here: our charter says we never let a customer discover a problem we already knew about. You are the person who makes that true.

None of these — but you should hire me

The work

We are small, and the list above is what we know we need today. If you can do something we have not thought to advertise — design, data, operations, writing, security — make the case.

Tell us what you would do here, and why it would matter. A specific argument beats a general CV every time.

We read every one of these. A reply may take longer than for an advertised role, but it will come.

Apply

One form for every role. Pick the role above, then tell us why you.

Open a role above and this fills in automatically.
Work we can see counts for more than a description of it.
This is the application. We deliberately do not ask for a CV upload — judgment and care show in how someone writes about their own work.
You will get a reference number straight away. Every application is read by a person.

Thank you — we have it, and a person will read it.
