We hire the curious, the rigorous, and the kind. We pay competitively and ship products that matter.
Spalce is a Ghana-headquartered software company building reliable systems for banks, fintechs, telcos, governments and high-growth startups across Africa and beyond. Every line of code we write touches a real customer, a real merchant, or a real public service. We're looking for builders who care about craft, customers, and the continent.
Our values
These aren't laminated posters in a meeting room. They're how we make decisions, give feedback, and choose what to ship.
We trust people to make decisions, ship the work, and stand behind the outcomes. Titles are flat; impact is loud.
Reads before writes. Tests before deploys. Postmortems before blame. We invest in the boring discipline that makes great products possible.
We assume good intent, give direct feedback, and protect each other's focus. The best engineering culture is also the most humane one.
We read papers, prototype on weekends, and bring weird ideas to standup. The best solutions usually start as someone asking "what if?"
We build for low-bandwidth, mobile money, multi-currency and 13 timezones — but we ship to the same bar as Stripe, Linear or Vercel.
Benefits
Competitive pay is table stakes. We invest in the conditions that let great people do great work for the long run.
Top-of-market salary benchmarked against global remote rates, plus meaningful equity in everything we build.
Work from Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, Kigali, Cape Town or your favourite quiet kitchen table. We meet in person twice a year.
Full private medical insurance for you and your immediate family, including dental and mental health support.
$1,500/year for books, courses, conferences and certifications. Bring back what you learn and teach the team.
25 days paid leave, public holidays, and a hard expectation that you take them. Burnout is a bug, not a feature.
One-time setup budget for a great chair, screen, and machine — plus a monthly internet allowance.
16 weeks fully-paid leave for primary caregivers, 6 weeks for secondary caregivers, and a flexible return plan.
A week together every year — past offsites have been in Cape Coast, Zanzibar and Kigali. Work, food, and long conversations.
Sabbaticals, conference travel, team retreats, gym allowances — ask us what matters to you.
Open roles
10 roles open across the team.
Predictable, respectful and fast. We aim to give a clear decision within three weeks of your first conversation.
What to expect
Send us your CV and a short note on why this role. We read every application within 5 working days.
A 30-minute conversation with our talent team to talk through your story, the role, and how we work.
A focused, paid take-home or live exercise that reflects the real work — no leetcode trick questions.
Two to three conversations with the people you'll work with — technical depth, collaboration and values.
We move fast on offers and invest heavily in your first 30 days, with a buddy, a manager 1:1 cadence and a clear ramp plan.
We'd still love to hear from you. Tell us what you do, what you care about, and what you'd build at Spalce.
