Build the silicon that builds Africa
We're assembling a team of exceptional engineers and operators to create semiconductor technology for African infrastructure. Join us.
What makes this different
Real hardware, real impact
Not another software startup. You'll work on physical silicon that goes into real infrastructure — meters, security systems, national platforms.
Continental scale
We're not building for one country. Our technology is designed for deployment across Africa — a market of 1.4 billion people.
Ground floor
We're early. You'll have outsized influence on architecture, culture, and direction. Not many chances to help build an African chip company from scratch.

Job Title
What we look for
We're building something that hasn't existed before — an African semiconductor company designing security-critical silicon. That requires people who can work with ambiguity, learn fast, and care deeply about the outcome.
We value technical depth, but also judgment. The ability to make good decisions with incomplete information. To know when to push for perfection and when to ship.
Technical excellence
Deep expertise in your domain, hunger to learn adjacent ones
Ownership
You see problems as yours to solve, not someone else's
Directness
Say what you mean. Disagree openly. No politics.
Long-term thinking
We're building infrastructure, not chasing quick wins
What we offer
Competitive Salary
Market-rate compensation
Equity
Ownership in what you build
Remote Flexibility
For select roles
Health Coverage
Comprehensive plan
