Build the software Tanzania runs on, with us
We are a small team in Dar es Salaam that designs and builds websites, apps and business systems for real organisations. If you care about doing that work well, we would like to hear from you.
Why people join
We are not a big agency. That means more responsibility, more learning and work you can point to.
Real work from day one
You work on live projects for real clients, not practice exercises.
Learn the whole stack
Design, front end, back end, hosting and support happen in one small team, so you see how everything fits.
Direct mentoring
Your work is reviewed by the people who built our systems, with honest and specific feedback.
A wider group
Nexa is part of Giselle Brands, with print, design training and events next door.
