About
We’ve seen time and again the impact that great engineers can have on the world. But over the past decade, we’ve seen a severe shortage of top-tier technology talent. The world needs millions more developers than we currently have, and that number is growing.
We started Andela to solve that problem. The reality is, if it weren’t for one really important trend, it wouldn’t be possible. If you want to see the future of work, look at what developers do: 43% of developers already work remote at least part-time, and 81% prefer it. To attract and retain the best talent, companies are adopting a distributed model of work.
Andela helps companies move in that direction faster. We’ve built the tools to identify extraordinary developers, anywhere in the world, and connect them with the right companies in a way that scales.
In the past four years, we’ve screened 100,000+ applicants, hired more than 1,000 developers, and matched them with hundreds of companies around the world. We’ve opened tech campuses in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda to attract and retain the best talent in Africa, and quickly become known as “The Best Place to Work” across the continent.
Andela developers work as full-time engineers with companies ranging from the Fortune 500 to high-growth tech startups like Cloudflare and InVision. Backed by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, GV, Spark Capital, and CRE Venture Capital, Andela is powering global engineering teams while catalyzing the growth of tech ecosystems across Africa.
