Company Description
Jaza is working to power Sub-Saharan Africa, where there are over 600,000,000 people living without electricity.
Jaza believes that a mix of people, technology and capital can connect Jaza’s market to the future of how people live and work around the world. The company builds solar powered shops, called hubs, that charge batteries customers use to power their homes. A single hub serves hundreds of households. The company employs women from each Jaza community to run the service, empowering the Jaza team to become leaders, entrepreneurs, and drivers of economic growth within their communities.
Our hardware engineering team is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and we collaborate with teams in Nigeria, Tanzania, China, and beyond. We believe in person collaboration is critical to building the best hardware products, so for this role we expect someone who is or can be located in Halifax, and ideally who is interested in traveling to collaborate across the company.
