Tech and software developers’ relations company Andela is expanding to accommodate developers from Latin, South America and several parts of the world.
Andela is a startup that serves remote engineering teams from Africa to companies and has done so for the last seven years. Though the company said it has received applications from outside Africa, it had mostly focused on connecting software engineers from the continent to clients.
GitHub, Cloudflare, and ViacomCBS are some of the companies in the scope of Andela’s service. Andela has delivered engineer teams to these companies for scaling and balance.
Andela’s globalisation of software engineers will display the diversity and regional expertise that companies seek for international growth.
