Careers

Build a career on real client work.

We hire for capability rather than proximity, and we put people on client projects from the first month — with a named mentor and a written development plan behind them.

5Open roles
OwerriBase
RemoteMost roles

Real projects, real accountability

You are on client work from month one, with your name attached to decisions. No six months of internal tooling before you meet a customer.

A named mentor and a written plan

Every person gets a development plan in their first month, reviewed quarterly, with budgeted time for the skills in it.

Teaching if you want it

Vida Academy runs on the same people who deliver. If you want to teach, you will be given cohorts — it is the fastest way we know to master something.

Remote-friendly across Nigeria

Most roles are remote or hybrid with travel to client sites where the work genuinely requires presence. We pay for the travel.

Work that reaches further

A share of our capacity goes to subsidised and pro-bono programmes through Vida Impact. You can ask to be staffed on them.

Growth tied to capability, not tenure

Progression is against a published capability framework. You can see what the next level requires and what it pays.

How we hire

Four stages, roughly two weeks, no pointless exercises

We respect your time. Every stage tells you something real about the job, and we give feedback either way.

01

Application review

A person reads it, not a keyword filter. We reply to every applicant within five working days, including rejections.

02

Conversation (30 minutes)

Mutual fit, expectations, salary range and start date — discussed openly in the first call, not left to the end.

03

Practical session

Role-appropriate and time-boxed: a technical conversation and a small paid task for engineers, a facilitated sample session for trainers.

04

Offer and references

Written offer with the capability level and salary band explained. References taken with your permission, after the offer.

Nothing listed that fits? Tell us anyway.

We keep good speculative applications for six months and have made roles for people who wrote in first. Say what you can do and what you want to work on.
