Careers at Nile
Join Nile and help empower the next generation of African businesses.
We’re building a toolkit to help African businesses run smoother, smarter, and faster.
At Nile, we believe the future of commerce in Africa will be shaped by software that helps entrepreneurs and teams move with speed, clarity, and purpose. We’re creating the digital infrastructure to help them do just that. Whether it’s inventory, orders, payments, cash flow, or storefronts, Nile is becoming the command center for modern African businesses.
While we’ve already made exciting progress, we’re just getting started. There’s a massive opportunity to reshape how businesses operate and scale across the continent, and we want you to help us lead that transformation.
Recurring themes in the work we do
We’re a purpose-driven team, and our work is guided by questions like:
How can we make it insanely easy to run a small business in Africa?
We obsess over simplifying operations for business owners—from launching a product to processing a sale, from managing team members to seeing cash flow clearly.
How do we help founders move from idea to execution, fast?
We want to remove friction between vision and launch. We build tools that help anyone—even without a tech background—start, sell, and scale confidently.
How do we unlock local trade and digital sales across Africa?
Whether you’re in Lagos, Nairobi, or Accra, selling to customers in your city or across borders should be seamless. Nile is building for a connected Africa.
What new business models will software unlock for African entrepreneurs?
From pop-up stores to digital brands, we’re enabling founders to dream bigger with accessible tech. We want to help creators, sellers, and service providers thrive.
