Build for international teams, from West Africa
Work with Acloe on client teams in the US, UK and Europe. When you’re placed on a team, you’re paid a fixed monthly amount for your committed hours, and we handle the client, contracts and invoicing.
We judge real work, not puzzles
Show us what you’ve built. That tells us more than any whiteboard test.
No algorithm interviews
No timed puzzles or trick questions. You do a short skills challenge on real work, scored against a rubric you can read first.
Proof over paper
A computer science degree is welcome. A verifiable record of shipped work counts just as much: live apps, production systems, code we can read.
We reach out
Every application gets a first check. If yours passes, we email you a short skills challenge within five working days.
How working with Acloe works
Clear rules, so you know what to expect before you apply.
Placement
We match you to a client team that fits your stack and the hours you can commit. Senior engineers can anchor a project for its whole length.
Pay
A full-time placement (about 40 hours a week) pays GH₵10,000 to GH₵20,000 a month, a fixed amount in cedis while you’re placed on a team. Part-time placements are paid in proportion to the hours. Where you land in the range depends on your level, which we set from your skills challenge, your conversation with us and your experience. Reviewed every year. There is no pay between placements.
Vetted once
We vet you once, properly. After that, clients are introduced to you with a profile and a short intro call. You won’t sit through a new round of questions for every project.
Between projects
You’re free to take other work. Engineers with strong client feedback get first pick of new teams.
What we ask
At least four hours a day overlapping with the client, backup power and internet, clear written English, and every pull request reviewed.
