Build AI for how Africa learns and works.
AfroGrad is a small team of engineers, designers, researchers and educators. We build real products and learn by shipping them.
Open roles

We grow carefully. When a role opens, it will be listed here first.
Tell us what you'd build
How we work
The same way on our own products and on partner projects: small steps, each one tested with the people it is for.
- 01
Learn the problem first
We start with the people who have it, not with the technology.
- 02
Build something real in weeks
A working thing people can use beats a long plan nobody can test.
- 03
Test it, then ship it
We put it in front of real users in real conditions before calling it done.
People we work with
AfroGrad began in 2024 as a community of African scholars helping each other. That is still who we build for.
- EngineersBuild Jeli and the apps and AI systems we make with partners.
- Product designersDesign for the phone people carry and the data they pay for.
- ResearchersWork out what actually helps people learn, and what does not.
- EducatorsShape how Jeli teaches, so the learner does the thinking.
