Andela extends engineering teams with world-class software developers.

We’re looking for a Technology Operations Coordinator to develop and maintain an environment that enables members of the Technology Department—Engineers, Product Managers and Designers—to execute effectively and efficiently within their lanes while staying aligned with one another as well as other departments.

The Ideal Candidate

Does structuring things excite you? Can you wield spreadsheets in order to identify gaps, keep people on target, handle various incoming requests, and keep trains running on time? Are you ready to join a fast-paced startup and get a feel for what makes things tick, identifying what we can standardize, operationalize and hopefully automate?

We need someone who’s world class at creating processes, structuring operations and can keep us running so that we can empower the continent’s best talent to level up and get better. You’re an expert in building and managing complex operations and developing the processes necessary to enable scale. You’re passionate about serving others through creating efficiency.

Your domain will be the infrastructure that enables knowledge workers to do their best work and make sure we create alignment across the department in order to better serve our customers.
