The right opportunities in the tech industry can change your life and career. For young Nigerian developers, Moniepoint’s DreamDevs program offers a path to becoming the next wave of innovators driving impactful change. With hands-on training, real-world projects, and mentorship from seasoned engineers, this program is not just about learning, it’s about building a thriving tech career.
A Vision to Empower Africa’s Tech Talent
Tosin Eniolorunda, Co-Founder and Group CEO of Moniepoint Inc., shared a powerful message recently. Reflecting on the uncertainty graduates feel after earning their degrees, he highlighted the need to create opportunities that help talented youth thrive in Nigeria. Moniepoint is answering this challenge with DreamDevs, a flagship initiative to nurture Africa’s brightest minds in software engineering.
Since its launch, Moniepoint has been a frontier in financial technology. From Nigeria’s first virtual accounts to innovative POS solutions, Moniepoint supports over 10 million businesses and individuals. Behind these products are young Nigerian engineers who were given the tools and platform to succeed. DreamDevs aims to replicate this success by transforming fresh graduates into world-class developers.
What is DreamDevs?
DreamDevs is more than a training program. It’s a launchpad for recent graduates in computer science and engineering. Through structured training, participants gain practical experience while working on real-world projects that impact millions of lives. The program ensures graduates learn, build, and grow, contributing to Nigeria’s largest payment products and Africa’s tech revolution.
Core Benefits of the DreamDevs Program:
- Hands-on training from expert engineers.
- Opportunities to build products that solve real-world problems.
- Mentorship and exposure to industry practices.
- A chance to intern at Moniepoint, Africa’s fastest-growing fintech.
Why DreamDevs Stands Out
Unlike many training programs, DreamDevs is rooted in purpose. Participants don’t just learn coding, they build solutions for real people and communities. This focus on impact and relevance is what sets DreamDevs apart.
Graduates of this program can join a growing list of Moniepoint engineers making a difference. For instance, Adrian Agho, Moniepoint’s SVP of User Experience, began his career within two years of graduating. Today, he leads efforts that improve experiences for millions of users.
The DreamDevs Application Process
The DreamDevs journey is designed to identify and train the best minds through four key stages:
- Technical Test: Applicants showcase their programming knowledge.
- Hackathon: Selected candidates solve real-world problems collaboratively.
- Bootcamp: A hands-on, intensive training led by top Moniepoint engineers.
- Capstone Project: Participants complete a major project, with top results earning an internship at Moniepoint.
This structured process ensures only the most passionate and driven individuals make it through, guaranteeing high-quality talent development.
What You’ll Need to Apply
DreamDevs seeks fresh graduates eager to solve problems and grow. Key requirements include:
- A recent degree (2:1 or higher) in Computer Science, Engineering, or related fields.
- Basic knowledge of programming languages like Python, Java, JavaScript, or SQL.
- Problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn.
Additional skills, such as experience with Git or personal coding projects, can give applicants an edge. The program values passion, creativity, and drive over perfection.
Building Africa’s Tech Future
Moniepoint’s DreamDevs represents more than just a career opportunity. It’s a movement to equip Nigerian youth with the tools they need to create solutions for Africa’s challenges. This is a program where talent meets purpose, innovation meets impact, and ambition meets opportunity.
