Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz wrote: “software is eating the world.” That statement is just as true today as it was eight years ago. Software is embedded in our day-to-day, and few industries are immune. Peek behind the code and you will find brilliant engineers pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
Talk to any engineering leader and they will tell you that access to talent is their number one barrier to building software and growing their business. Research the industry and you read about the 1 million computer-programming jobs that will go unfilled in 2020.
That is where Andela comes in. We help engineering leaders at companies big and small bridge that gap. We are building tools, systems and processes to connect talent, no matter where they live, with the opportunities to do great things. To date, we have identified 1,000+ software engineers from Africa and placed them as full-time, embedded members of development teams at over 200 tech companies. Along the way, we have raised $180M from Al Gore’s venture fund, Generation Partners, Google Ventures, Spark Capital, the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative and Serena Ventures.
And we are just getting started.

Our clients today range from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies.

Provide transparency on the availability of our engineers to revenue driving teams
When talent supply is unavailable, partner with the Senior Director of Talent Solutions and our recruiting team to strategize the best solution
Develop a deep understanding of engineers currently available, including their technical skillset, prior industry experience, and growth desires
Ensure 100% data accuracy in Andela’s systems around engineer profiles, availability and engagements
Lead informational sessions with engineers concerning the placement and resourcing process
What you’ll bring:
Four-year degree from an accredited university, preferably in Business, Operations, Engineering, or Computer science
2+ years in an fulfillment or operationally focused role
Experience with working in and with distributed teams
Previous experience working in software development, technology consulting or software product management is a plus
Demonstrated ability to adapt to changing business priorities and a strong work ethic
Experience thriving in a fast-paced, collaborative, cross-disciplinary and geographically dispersed environment
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to effectively present complex information clearly and keep track of multiple conversations at once
Strong organizational skills with experience coordinating multiple work streams simultaneously

You’re a product-obsessed software engineer who evaluates all of your work through the lens of user experience, regardless of which layer of the stack you’re working in. You’ve created a number of fully-formed software products that have been released into the wild. You believe that code is a means to an end, not the end itself.
Because the range of projects is diverse, we need a full-stack Python engineer with experience working on a wide variety of products. You’ll work on projects like: improving our natural language date range search, implementing integrations with 3rd party services, or working to improve the responsiveness and reliability of our API. You’ll also work with the entire team in creating new customer-facing features, from idea, through prototype, to release and maintenance.
Technical background
Our backend runs on Python with MySQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch on AWS. You should have experience building scalable and maintainable services with Python.
Our front-end is built with CoffeeScript, SASS and HAML. You should have a deep understanding of HTML, CSS and Javascript.
The glue between our front-end and back-end is HTTP, so you should have a thorough understanding of this part of the stack including: cookies, caching, AJAX, cross-domain sharing, security issues, etc.
We write automated tests for all of our code. You should be passionate about testing since you know it’s the only way to deliver high quality software.
Benefits
People are the most important part of Atec Web Services, and we take care of our own.
Work remotely or from our beautiful office
Unlimited equipment budget
Relocation assistance
Flexible schedule
Generous maternity and paternity leave
About the team
We are a small design-driven team, focused on impeccable user experience. Simplicity, quality, and care inform our decisions and processes. We believe in a collaborative, feedback-rich design process, and feel that great experiences can only come from teams who care deeply. This is the company we’ve always wanted to exist. We share what this all means to us on our blog.
How to apply
If you’re interested, please send a link to your Github account and any products you’ve worked on recently of which you are particularly proud. We prefer great work over resumes.
