What we do

Dalza is a web and mobile platform that helps families coordinate care for children with additional and special educational needs. We bring parents, educators, and specialists together around a shared profile for each child, so everyone supporting that child works from the same up-to-date picture, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Why work for us

We're an early-stage EdTech / HealthTeach company building something with genuine social impact: better-coordinated support for the children who need it most, and far less administrative load for the families and professionals around them. You'll join a small, founder-led team where your work ships and matters, with real ownership over the systems you build. We operate across South Africa and Europe.

Our culture

We care deeply about the families we serve, and that shows up in how we work: collaborative, direct, and thoughtful. Because we handle sensitive information about children, privacy and trust aren't afterthoughts, they're built into every decision. Our founder is a data-privacy and technology lawyer, so we hold ourselves to a high bar on data protection, GDPR included. We value people who bring their own perspective and take real pride in their craft.

Our engineering process

Our backend is built on Ruby on Rails with a PostgreSQL database, running on AWS with infrastructure managed in Terraform. Our web frontend is React and our mobile apps are built in React Native for iOS and Android. We lean on well-chosen third-party services. Being a small team means clear ownership, pragmatic code review, and engineers who reason about the whole system rather than a narrow slice of it.

Our hiring process

After an initial conversation about the role and your experience, you'll meet the team and work through a technical discussion or assessment tied to the actual work you'd be doing. We're looking for strong engineers who fit our stack and share our commitment to the families we serve, and we'll be transparent with you at every stage.
