What we do

Software development services

A product studio and outsourcing partner in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We design, build, and run web, mobile, cloud, data, and AI products — and staff the AI training-data work behind today's models — for clients across Europe, the Americas, and Africa.

7 ways we can help

Web Engineering

We build the web product you actually run your business on — customer portals, marketplaces, dashboards, internal tools, and public sites. Typically a SvelteKit or React front end over a Go or Node API and PostgreSQL, with pagination, indexes, and caching designed in from the first schema rather than bolted on when traffic arrives. Everything ships with automated tests and a CI pipeline, so the second release is as safe as the first.

  • SvelteKit / React
  • Go & Node APIs
  • PostgreSQL & Redis
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Playwright E2E

Mobile Apps

One codebase, both stores. We build in Flutter or React Native, design for patchy connectivity from the start — offline-first storage and sync rather than a spinner over a dead connection — and take the app the whole way through App Store and Play review, signing, and release. Push, deep links, in-app payments, and crash reporting come as part of the build, not a follow-up project.

  • Flutter
  • React Native
  • App Store delivery
  • Offline-first

Product & UX Design

Design that starts with your users and ends with something engineers can build without guessing. We run the research, map the flows, prototype the risky screens before anyone writes code, and hand over a design system with real components and states — not a folder of pretty screenshots. Because the same team builds it, nothing gets lost between the mockup and the merge.

  • UX research
  • UI design
  • Prototyping
  • Design systems

Cloud & DevOps

Infrastructure you can reason about at 2am. We set up your cloud on AWS or GCP with Terraform, containerise the services, and wire GitHub Actions so a merge becomes a deploy with tests, migrations, and a rollback path. Then we make it observable — structured logs, metrics, dashboards, and alerts that fire on symptoms your users would notice rather than on CPU graphs nobody reads.

  • AWS / GCP
  • Docker & K8s
  • Terraform
  • GitHub Actions CI/CD
  • Grafana observability

Data Engineering

Getting data out of the systems that hold it and into a shape people can act on. We build ETL and streaming pipelines, model the warehouse so the numbers agree with each other, and put dashboards on top that answer the questions your team actually asks. Pipelines are idempotent and re-runnable, so a bad source file is a replay rather than an incident.

  • ETL pipelines
  • Warehousing
  • Dashboards
  • Real-time streams

AI Solutions

AI features that survive contact with production. We build LLM applications, retrieval systems over your own documents, tool-using agents and MCP integrations, and the evaluation harness that tells you whether a prompt or model change actually improved anything. Cost, latency, and failure behaviour are treated as product requirements — because a feature that is brilliant and unaffordable never ships.

  • Claude & OpenAI
  • AI agents & MCP
  • RAG systems
  • Claude Code
  • ML pipelines

AI Training Data

We staff the human side of model building. AI labs and data platforms come to us for annotators, AI trainers, evaluators, and domain experts — skills-tested, identity-verified, and briefed to your guidelines before they reach your onboarding. That covers labeling, RLHF and human-preference data, rubric-based evaluation, red-teaming, and native-speaker work in Amharic, Oromo, Swahili, and other African languages most vendors cannot staff at all.

  • Data annotation & labeling
  • RLHF & preference data
  • Model evaluation
  • Red-teaming
  • African language data

Services FAQ

What software development services does GobezLabs offer?

Web engineering, mobile apps, product and UX design, cloud and DevOps, data engineering, AI solutions, and AI training-data talent. Most engagements combine several — a web platform with its cloud pipeline, or an AI feature with the data work behind it.

Can I outsource my whole product to you?

Yes. We run projects end to end from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — discovery, design, build, deployment, and post-launch support — and hand over a codebase your own team can pick up, with tests, CI/CD, and documentation included rather than promised later.

Do you provide AI training data services?

We supply the specialists behind it: annotators, AI trainers, evaluators, and domain experts for data labeling, RLHF and human-preference data, model evaluation, red-teaming, and African-language data. They work inside your platform, guidelines, and quality process.

How much does a project cost?

Rates reflect African markets rather than US or EU agency pricing, so the same senior bar costs meaningfully less. We scope from your requirements and quote per project or per month — tell us the outcome and the budget you have, and we will tell you honestly what fits.

Which time zones do you work in?

We are in East Africa (GMT+3), which overlaps the full European workday and the US morning. Teams keep your standups and your working hours, not ours.

What technologies do you work with?

SvelteKit and React on the front end; Go and Node for APIs; PostgreSQL, Redis, and modern data warehouses; Flutter and React Native for mobile; AWS and GCP with Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes; and Claude and OpenAI models for AI features.
