Summary

Who are we?

ayoba, Africa’s leading communication platform (app) was developed in Africa to spread throughout the world. Our heritage enables us to recognise the many languages and cultures across the African continent and the globe to bring relevant content and a unique communication platform to all. Ayoba is more than a platform, more than an app. Ayoba is an experience expressed through shared signals. Ayoba connects people on a value basis and leverages an African Identity. Since its launch in May 2019, ayoba has reached millions of users across the African continent and beyond. It offers users free access to an ecosystem of digital and rich media services through channels, micro-apps and payment solutions, embedded within an African super-app. Ayoba is owned and managed by Simfy Africa Pty Ltd, based in Cape Town South Africa.

Why work for us?

At ayoba, you have the opportunity to define the future of music streaming, while being exposed to a varied and interesting technology stack and engaging in complex and interesting problems.

We're striving to build the most accessible music platform for all emerging markets, and we're doing this through the latest cloud technologies and best development practices.

We’re small, we’re accessible and we’re a family – all members get to have their say.

Why are we hiring?

Great software requires great people!

We need skilled developers to help us build the best platform and apps for our clients, across a range of technologies and devices.

Also, we have all this unused space...

What's our hiring process?

To reach the next level you'll first need to go through 3 interviews:

  1. Who are you: an introductory and basic technical skills telephonic/skype call, we want to know why you’ll make simfy even better.
  2. Soft-skills: a telephonic/skype call where we assess soft-skills and personality fit, how do you deal with people and situations?
  3. On-site: an on-site interview where we perform an in-depth technical assessment and introduce you to the team.

If you've totally crushed it, we'll sign some papers and start building some cool stuff!
