WHAT WE DO

EmpiriQ builds new value chains for underserved markets in Africa.

We believe that some of the world’s biggest opportunities exist in sectors and communities that traditional systems have failed to serve effectively. Our goal is to create more inclusive economic ecosystems by rethinking how people access housing, finance, infrastructure, and opportunity.

Technology is one of the tools we use to achieve this — but technology itself is not the end goal.

Our platforms combine operational systems, financial models, infrastructure, partnerships, and software to unlock entirely new ways of participating in the economy.

Our flagship platforms, Odimo and Atoku, focus on building scalable ecosystems around affordable rental housing, digital transactions, financial inclusion, and emerging market infrastructure.

Odimo helps enable sustainable rental housing ecosystems by connecting landlords, tenants, payments, financing, and property management into a single integrated platform.

Atoku focuses on enabling new forms of digital transactions, smart financial systems, and programmable value exchange for emerging markets.

At EmpiriQ, we are interested in building systems that create long-term economic participation — not just software products.

WHY WORK FOR US

We’re a team of builders, engineers, operators, and entrepreneurs working on meaningful problems with real-world impact.

Our work sits at the intersection of technology, finance, operations, infrastructure, and economic development. Developers at EmpiriQ don’t just build features — they help shape entirely new systems and ways of doing business.

You’ll work closely with founders and multidisciplinary teams, contribute to architectural and product decisions, and help scale platforms operating in complex real-world environments.

We move quickly, value ownership, and encourage people who are curious, adaptable, and excited by difficult problems.

If you enjoy startup energy, meaningful autonomy, systems thinking, and building products that can genuinely improve economic participation, you’ll fit right in.

OUR CULTURE

We believe every person has the ability to contribute meaningful ideas and insights.

Our culture is built around initiative, curiosity, ownership, and continuous learning. We enjoy working with people who challenge assumptions, think differently, and are motivated by building things that matter.

We work hard, move fast, and enjoy solving difficult problems together. At the same time, we value humility, collaboration, and maintaining an environment where people can grow.

The common thread across everything we do is using modern systems, technology, and creative thinking to unlock new forms of economic inclusion.

OUR ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENT

Engineering at EmpiriQ is highly product-focused and deeply connected to real operational environments.

We build modern scalable systems using technologies such as Angular, Go, Node.js, C# , Kubernetes, Azure, cloud-native infrastructure, distributed systems, and modern CI/CD workflows.

Because we are building new ecosystems rather than maintaining legacy enterprise systems, developers have the opportunity to influence architecture, workflows, infrastructure, and product direction from an early stage.

We care about clean architecture, automation, scalability, observability, and continuous improvement across our engineering processes.

OUR HIRING PROCESS

Our hiring process is practical, collaborative, and focused on finding people who align with both our mission and engineering culture.

The process typically starts with an introductory discussion around experience, mindset, problem-solving ability, and cultural fit.

Depending on the role, candidates may receive a small practical challenge or technical discussion relevant to the kinds of systems we build.

Final interviews usually include meeting additional team members and discussing how you would contribute to the broader mission and long-term vision of EmpiriQ.
