Are you a Nigerian sotware developer? Here is a jobs site for you

Devcenter, the online community for software developers in Nigeria, has announced the launch of Devcenter Jobs, a jobs site for, well, Nigerian software developers.

On the platform, Devcenter will handle all transactions including invoicing and payments so clients who utilize the services of a developer only have to pay for work done.

Developers on the site are ranked by peer-review ratings from the community and ratings from clients. This is aimed at keeping both parties satisfied.

"From the outset, we found the developer’s approach to the work to be of a particularly high standard. His responses to our issues were second to none. We greatly appreciate his structured and professional manner. Thank you Devcenter for going over and above and for the amazing support throughout the entire process," says Jenika Mukoro of nTel, who has utilized a developer from Devcenter, according to Innovation Village.

Speaking on the new platform, Akin Falomo, Co-founder of Devcenter, said, "Through the years, we’ve gotten hundreds of developer requests within the community. There are only so many requests we can manually fulfill .We decided to create Devcenter jobs to scale this process. Nigerian developers are at par with the rest of the world. It’s time to get these jobs."

Also, people who don't have experience or time to manage a software team can hire Devcenter to deliver their project. Such clients will get a quote from the company in 24 hours.

I like the direction Devcenter is taking. Generally, Nigerian software developers are still being largely overlook in the industry. Most companies will rather take their search outside the country, which does not help Nigeria's human capital development. Devcenter can change this with their approach.

The Devcenter Jobs site went live on June 117, 2016.
