About Us

Lelapa AI is building a localised African AI lab and pioneering language technologies designed for Africans, by Africans—pushing the boundaries of AI research, product development, and technological innovation.

As a fast-growing, high-impact AI startup, our distributed team across Africa, Europe, and North America is shaping the future of AI on the continent.

The coming wave of African AI talent needs a home to continue their work: to do their best research, and to convert the results into products that improve African lives.

Lelapa AI will be that home.

About The Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Engineer II to lead our engineering efforts in bringing African AI to production.

This is an 80% hands-on role where you'll architect and build our API product platform while providing technical leadership to the development team.

You'll be responsible for upholding engineering best practices and ensuring the successful delivery of our products.

The ideal candidate has strong backend experience (developing robust, scalable APIs and integrations), frontend knowledge (for product demonstrations), and a proven track record of leading technical teams through successful product releases.
