Careers at Cloud23
Do the work that gets remembered.
We are building the AI, data and platform systems that African enterprises run on. That needs specialists who want the hard version of the problem — and a team that will back them when it gets hard.

Why Cloud23
Four reasonspeople stay.
We would rather tell you what the job is actually like than sell you a beanbag.
- 01
The problems are real, and they are hard
Regulated, integrated, mission-critical. The systems we build open bank accounts, move money and answer customers. There is nowhere to hide a shortcut, which is exactly why the work teaches you something.
- 02
You own outcomes, not tickets
You will be close to the customer and accountable for what happens in production. Ownership here is not a slogan on a wall — it is who gets called when the thing you built matters.
- 03
Seniority is earned in public
Architecture decisions get written down. Code gets reviewed. The people who raise the standard around them move fastest, and everyone can see why.
- 04
Built in Africa, judged globally
Africa-led, delivered across the continent and beyond. The bar is an international one; the base is here. That combination is rarer than it should be.
Where we're hiring
Each role says what you would own and why it is worth taking. Apply in about three minutes — CV, a short write-up, and where to reach you.
AI — core technical
The data and model lifecycle, from raw pipeline to a system in production.
Data Scientist
Full timeMost data scientists never see their model reach a customer. Here the bank is the customer, the data is real, and the model ships.
Analyse complex enterprise data, find the patterns that matter and build the statistical models behind decisions banks actually act on.
Johannesburg / Hybrid
Machine Learning Engineer
Full timeThe gap between a notebook that works and a system a bank will run is where this job lives. Close it, and it stays closed.
Turn research models into scalable, production-ready systems that survive real traffic, real data drift and real audit.
Johannesburg / Hybrid
AI / Deep Learning Researcher
Full timeResearch with a delivery team attached. What you prove out has a route to production — and a customer waiting at the end of it.
Invent and evaluate new approaches, push what our agentic and deep-learning systems can do, and keep Cloud23 ahead of the market rather than following it.
Johannesburg / Hybrid
Data Engineer
Full timeEvery AI claim rests on a data foundation someone had to build. Build the one that holds when a regulator asks.
Build and operate the pipelines that collect, clean and store enterprise data so models and reporting can use it safely and efficiently.
Johannesburg / Hybrid
MLOps Engineer
Full timeOwn the machinery that keeps models alive in production — deployment, monitoring, rollback and the 3am question of what changed.
Manage deployment, monitoring, scaling and maintenance of AI systems in production — DevOps discipline applied to models.
Johannesburg / Hybrid
AI — product and governance
What gets built, whether it can be trusted, and whether it is allowed to ship.
AI Product Manager
Full timeDecide what gets built and what does not, on products with real customers rather than a roadmap slide.
Define the product vision for Cloud23's agentic platforms, set priorities and hold the line between what is technically possible and what is commercially worth doing.
Johannesburg / Hybrid
AI Ethics & Compliance Specialist
Full timeIn regulated financial services, governance is not paperwork applied afterwards — it is what makes the system deployable at all.
Ensure the AI we build is fair, explainable and compliant — with POPIA, GDPR and the sector regulation our clients answer to.
Johannesburg / Hybrid
Prompt Engineer
Full timeNot writing clever prompts — engineering reliable behaviour out of language models inside systems a bank will sign off.
Design, evaluate and harden the prompting and context strategies behind Cloud23's agentic products, so outputs are accurate, grounded and repeatable.
Johannesburg / Hybrid
Platform engineering
The enterprise platforms our clients run their businesses on.
Senior Salesforce Developer
Full timeBuild and extend enterprise Salesforce solutions for financial-services clients — from Apex and Lightning Web Components to large-scale integrations — while mentoring developers across the team.
Johannesburg / Hybrid
Salesforce Consultant
Full timeRun discovery, shape requirements and configure Salesforce solutions for enterprise clients, working closely with stakeholders from workshop to go-live.

Nobody ships AI alone.
Building and running AI in a regulated enterprise takes a multidisciplinary crew. Each role owns a specific part of the data and model lifecycle — and the result belongs to all of them.
