Careers at 390
The work is demanding.
The purpose is clear.
We’re building technologies that improve the lives of Africans.
That means taking on difficult problems, understanding them deeply, and turning our thinking into useful systems people can rely on.
We’re looking for people who want to contribute to that work.
What we’re building
We’re building things that need to work.
Businesses depend on people, processes, information and decisions working together.
Through 390 Work, we’re building the systems that help organisations manage those relationships more reliably.
That requires more than writing code, designing screens or creating campaigns. It requires understanding real problems and bringing different disciplines together to solve them.
What we build has consequences for how people do their jobs every day. We take that responsibility seriously.
The chapter we’re in
There is still a lot to figure out.
We are working to make 390 increasingly useful, understandable and dependable for the organisations that need it.
That means improving the product, learning from customers, communicating our value clearly, and building the internal systems that allow us to deliver consistently.
We’re not joining a story where all the important decisions have already been made.
We’re helping shape what comes next.
At this stage, we value people who can turn uncertainty into clarity, and clarity into meaningful work.
How the pieces come together
Different teams.
One purpose.
The quality of what we create depends on how well different people understand the problem, contribute their expertise and build on one another’s work.
One shared purposeWork and learning move between these disciplines in every direction. What customers learn shapes what we build next.
Understand the problem
Customer-facing teams and research help us understand how organisations operate and where they struggle.
Decide what matters
Product management brings context, priorities and direction to the problems worth solving.
Make complexity understandable
Product design turns complicated workflows into experiences people can confidently use.
Build things that work reliably
Engineering and quality assurance turn those decisions into dependable software.
Make the value clear
Marketing helps the right organisations understand what we’re building, why it matters, and how it can help them.
Help organisations succeed
Implementation and support help customers put 390 to work, learn from their experiences and become more effective.
What customers learn goes back to the start.
Make the organisation work
Internal operations provide the coordination, resources and consistency that enable everyone else to deliver.
Different responsibilities. Connected contributions. Better outcomes.
What the work requires
What it takes to do good work here.
Think deeply.
Go beyond surface-level solutions. Understand the problem, its context and the consequences of your decisions.
Take ownership.
Accept responsibility for meaningful outcomes. Communicate clearly, raise difficulties early and follow through.
Work through ambiguity.
Not everything will arrive with a detailed playbook. Ask questions, exercise judgment and make thoughtful progress.
Build with care.
Respect quality, consistency and the people who will depend on what you produce.
Keep learning.
Be willing to question your assumptions, receive feedback and change your approach when the evidence demands it.
What you can expect from us
High expectations should go both ways.
We believe meaningful work deserves a serious working environment.
We want people at 390 to have clear priorities, honest communication, constructive feedback, and opportunities to take real responsibility.
We know that ambitious work can be difficult. We do not believe unnecessary pressure, confusion or exhaustion are measures of commitment.
We expect people to take their responsibilities seriously, and we take seriously our responsibility to help them succeed.
Before you apply
Consider what you want to build.
A title or impressive CV tells us only part of the story.
We’re interested in how people think, what they’ve actually done, and how they approach meaningful challenges.
What is something difficult you’ve taken responsibility for and successfully delivered?
How do you approach problems when there isn’t a clear solution?
Can you make progress with constraints without compromising what matters?
How would your particular expertise help us build technology businesses can rely on?
You don’t need to arrive knowing everything about 390. You do need the curiosity to understand it, the judgment to make good decisions, and the discipline to follow meaningful work through.
