Build the future of education in Africa
Join our mission to make world-class education accessible to every learner across the continent.
We're looking for talented developers and development teams who want to use their skills to transform lives through education. If you're passionate about AI, education, and social impact, we want to hear from you.
Why education matters
Education is the foundation of opportunity. It's how people access better lives, especially in countries like South Africa and across the developing world where education systems face significant challenges. We believe that education is the most powerful tool for economic transformation. Schools are the incubators of our future economy.
What we've built
At Luma, we've created an AI-powered learning platform that makes quality education accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. We've already reached over 100,000 learners, parents, and teachers across South Africa, achieving our goal for the year and proving that technology can democratize access to world-class education.
We're backed by incredible investors who share our vision that education is the key to building a beautiful economy. Together, we're not just building software. We're building a movement that will transform millions of lives.
"We believe that with the power of AI we can have a major impact on the current education system. This technology allows us to break barriers like never before. This tech allows us to provide a world-class education to any student, anywhere for the price of a cup of coffee."
Our culture and who we work with
We're building something extraordinary, and we need extraordinary people to make it happen.
Mission-Driven & Human-Centered
We work with people who are as passionate about this mission as we are. We're a human-centered team where everyone is compassionate and willing to help others. If you're driven by the idea of transforming education across Africa, you'll feel right at home here.
Excellence & Team Synergy
We're looking for A-players: people who elevate everyone around them and contribute to our team synergy. We want to work in an environment where we support and encourage each other to do our best work.
We believe that great teams are built when everyone brings their best, and we're building something too important to compromise on excellence. If you're someone who thrives in a high-performing environment, you'll love working with us.
Fast-Paced & Ownership-Driven
We work at a fast pace and value people who can take ownership of their role. We trust our team members to make decisions, solve problems independently, and deliver results. If you're someone who thrives on autonomy and enjoys taking initiative, you'll excel here.
Remote with In-Person Connection
We work remotely with frequent in-person meetings. Living in South Africa is very important to us. You'll work remotely day-to-day, but we meet regularly in person and travel together often. We value the balance of remote flexibility with meaningful face-to-face collaboration.
Exciting Work & Fun Environment
We work on exciting projects and we have fun doing it. This isn't just another tech job. It's a chance to be part of something that matters, with a team that genuinely enjoys working together and celebrating our wins.
We're changing the course of history
We are breaking down barriers and attempting to change the course of history. What we are doing is bigger than any team, organization, or individual. If that excites you, we want to hear from you.
