NALA: Unleashing Africa's Economic Potential

Meet NALA, a dynamic company on a mission to increase economic opportunities for Africans globally. With over 1.3 billion Africans in the world, NALA sees a vast reservoir of untapped potential and is determined to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity.

Africa is currently the most expensive place to send money to and trade with, and NALA is all about changing that narrative. The company is driven by a desire to reduce the cost of sending money home through technology, making it easier for individuals to support their loved ones without losing a significant percentage of their money to fees.

But NALA's vision goes beyond just money transfers. They're thinking about the future of work and business. They're considering those young TikTok influencers in Uganda who create amazing content but can't get paid because they lack access to international payment systems. They're thinking about those who are trying to do cross-border business from Africa to the rest of the world, and finding ways to make this easier, faster, and more reliable.

At its core, NALA is about enhancing the digital payment systems and infrastructure for the African continent. Their true impact, as they see it, will be measured by the opportunities they create for Africa to trade with the world, and the world to trade with Africa.

Their tech stack is as diverse as their mission, with services written in Go, deployed in AWS ECS, and communicating with their app through gRPC. They use Agile frameworks and leverage AWS as much as possible, managed with Terraform.

So, if you're looking for a company that's not only tech-savvy but also socially conscious, NALA is your perfect match. They're passionate about the communities they serve and are driven to deliver world-class software to achieve their ambitious goals. With NALA, you're not just joining a company, you're joining a mission to change the world.
