Hire vetted African talent
For AI data work and engineering alike, the industry hires from Europe and America by default. We exist to change that: every specialist we place is African — sourced, skills-tested, and vetted from our base in Addis Ababa.
Software Engineers
Frontend, backend, mobile, and full-stack engineers across every major stack.
AI / ML Engineers
LLM, RAG, agents, and ML specialists who ship models into production.
Data Scientists
Analysts and scientists who turn raw data into decisions and dashboards.
Plus AI trainers and annotators, product designers, and DevOps — 3 more specialisms. Vetted, ready to start, full-time, contract, or project-based. You set the budget; we send a shortlist in days.

Products we’re proud of
A few of the products we’ve designed, built, and shipped end to end.
Marketplace · Web 2026 MerkatoHQ
An escrow-protected peer-to-peer marketplace where anyone can buy and sell almost anything, safely. Payment is held in escrow until the buyer confirms they received what they paid for — so there are no scams and no chargebacks, just fair trades between real people.
Web · Marketplace 2025 Waylo Go
A verified peer-to-peer delivery platform matching parcels bound for Ethiopia with ID-verified travelers flying the route — escrowed payments, handoff photos, signed custody, and one-time delivery codes.
Web · SaaS 2025 BamanStock
A privacy-first stock management platform that gives investors and merchants unified control over branches, inventory, and performance from a single dashboard.
Who we are
GobezLabs is a product and outsourcing studio building web, mobile, cloud, and AI products for clients around the world.
GobezLabs started from a simple belief: good software comes from small, senior teams who care about the people using what they build. From our base in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, we build for clients anywhere, and we build products of our own.
We’ve shipped platforms, apps, and data systems across industries and continents, and we’re now channeling that experience into a new generation of AI products.
The name is Amharic: gobez (ጎበዝ) means clever, capable, brave — the bar we hold our work to.
Craftsmanship
We write code the way you'd want to inherit it, since we're usually the ones who end up maintaining it.
Move fast, carefully
We work quickly without cutting corners on testing or review.
Transparency
You get clear estimates and visible progress, and we tell you early when something is harder than expected.
Global mindset
Based in Ethiopia, working with clients across time zones and cultures.
Build things that matter
We’re a small, senior, remote-first studio. If you care about craft, ownership, and shipping real products, we’d like to hear from you.
