Nationalities

Kuda's main DEI goal is to raise awareness about the differences and commonalities within our diverse workforce. We're taking this beyond just education by having a DEI committee with members from different ethnic backgrounds, genders, age groups, and countries within our Tribe. We also have a platform for our Tribe members to share their concerns confidentially as well as an easily accessible inbox for DEI-related inquiries.

The members of our DEI committee share personal insights, ideas, and experiences related to DEI in the workplace. They also help the Tribe recognise and address biases that they may encounter or have been made aware of. Through open discussions, the committee aims to facilitate education and foster mutual respect among all members of the Tribe, ultimately preventing future issues.

Our efforts in promoting DEI have been recognized with a Stevie Award for Great Employers, a testament to our commitment to creating a more inclusive and respectful work environment.

Tolani Onokwai

Deputy Lead QA Engineer

Since I joined a couple of years ago, Kuda is fast paced, vibrant, dynamic and fun. So much going on, so much to do but the most important aspect is the people.

I work with lots of supportive, innovative, interesting and inspiring people who have trusted me and helped me to grow (alongside with Kuda).

Scott Hirst

Head of Growth

Since joining Kuda in 2023, I've experienced a dynamic and innovative environment where teams adapt swiftly to technological advancements.

Open communication, regular meetings, and an open-door policy foster transparency, enabling us to freely share insights, feedback, and even occasional memes. It's refreshing.

Caamila Harris

Accounts Payable Specialist

My time at Kuda has been exceptional, marked by warmth and camaraderie.

The focus on personal and professional development, through training and mentorship, has driven my growth. I'm grateful for the dynamic culture of collaboration, empowerment, and inclusivity at Kuda.

Mukaram Agboola

Senior Supervisor, Chargeback Operations

My journey at Kuda has been truly transformative. I joined as a Data Engineering Intern with no practical experience, eager to learn and contribute. I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects, apply what I’ve learned in a hands-on way.

How I would describe the culture at Kuda is, in fact, what I love most about being here. There’s a spirit of openness and collaboration that runs deep — especially within the Data Platform team. Kuda is a place where curiosity is encouraged, learning is continuous, and everyone is given the opportunity to contribute meaningfully. There’s something special about being in a place where learning is part of the DNA.

Lauren Marais

Trainee Data Engineer

Working at Kuda has been transformative. It’s challenged me technically, professionally, and personally. I’ve grown into a stronger engineer and a more confident leader through real, hands-on experience building innovative products and navigating tough situations.

Seeing the impact of my work in the real world makes every tough sprint and late night worth it. Kuda pushes you to go beyond your limits, but it also gives you the space and support to grow. You work with brilliant people who constantly inspire you to improve. It’s a place that expects big things from you and creates the environment to help you deliver. That’s what makes it exciting and fulfilling.

Uyi Oriaghan

Lead Software Engineer

What I really love about Kuda is how innovative we are and the amazing people I get to work with. Our tribe members are always finding new ways to make banking in Nigeria better through the Kuda Mobile Application.

We have incredibly talented people who work together every day to delight our customers. At Kuda, we are all about working together, moving fast, and supporting each other. We love new ideas, helping everyone grow, and giving people the reins to their work. It's where cool ideas come to life and teamwork shines.

Yusri Wentzel

Business Analyst

My experience at Kuda has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. From the moment I joined, I’ve been entrusted with projects or task that I never imagined taking on so early in my career—and that’s been exciting and empowering.

One of the things I value most is the strong sense of collaboration. No one works in silos here; it's common to work across multiple teams within a single sprint. That level of teamwork is what I really love about the tribe. At Kuda, collaboration isn’t just a buzzword—it’s how we work. Teams don’t operate in isolation.

Chisom Okoye

Frontend Engineer

Working at Kuda has been fast-paced, collaborative, and full of growth. I was barely six months in when I got the chance to work on one of our core data products, a big deal for me at the time. That kind of trust and room to stretch yourself is what makes the experience here so rewarding.

We're a mix of personalities, cultures, and experience levels, and that diversity makes the work environment so rich. Everyone is friendly, accessible, and genuinely willing to help, not just with work, but even with your personal growth. It’s the kind of team that makes showing up every day easy.
