Beyond the Code
Careful engineering. Real people. Good coffee.
We build software and AI for teams in Ethiopia and abroad, in a culture that values curiosity, clear thinking and saying what you see.
The Fun Stuff
How Arki engineers work
The multi-screen setup
Code on one screen, logs on another, the design file on a third. For engineers who like to see the whole system at once.
The multi-screen setup
Code on one screen, logs on another, the design file on a third. For engineers who like to see the whole system at once.
The quiet corner
One screen, headphones on, notifications off. Where the hardest problems get solved in long stretches of focus.
The build station
Enough memory to run local services, containers and a staging build at the same time, for the days with big deployments.
The green desk
Plants, daylight and a view of Addis. A calmer space for design reviews and fresh thinking.
Serious work. Good company.
We take the engineering seriously and ourselves a little less. Hard problems, honest reviews and a team that helps each other out.
Internal hack days
Time set aside to try new tools, prototype ideas and learn something outside the current project.
Deep work blocks
Protected focus time for architecture and performance problems, before they reach production.
Craft and care
We care about clean code, careful reviews and interfaces that feel right to the people who use them.

Team Moments
Stories from the Inside Out
Our engineers write about what they build, what went wrong and what they learned along the way. Read the latest on our blog.
Why Addis Ababa?
Why building software from Ethiopia makes sense for product teams.
Addis Ababa has a growing community of experienced engineers, a time zone that overlaps with three continents, and a fast-moving local tech market. Here is what that means for the teams we work with.
Experienced local talent
Engineers who have built real products, and who grow fastest on demanding, international work.
A growing tech hub
Ethiopia's digital economy is expanding fast, from payments and mobile money to e-government and AI.
Earning trust through quality
Clients choose a partner on evidence. We earn it with careful work, clear reporting and code that holds up.
Local insight, global standards
We understand the Ethiopian market and build to international engineering practices.

Every change is reviewed by another engineer, and reviews are where most of the learning happens.
Internal tech talks
Engineers share what they learned on projects, from new frameworks to production incidents.
AI in the workflow
We use AI coding tools as part of daily work and share what works and what does not.
Local language AI
