Carry1st is the leading publisher of social games and interactive content in Africa. We work with studios across the globe - from Addis Ababa to Sofia to New York City - to level up their games and scale them in dynamic, new markets. To serve our customers in Africa, we’ve built out a proprietary payments and ecommerce experience which gives our users the ability to pay for digital content, even when they don’t have a credit card.

Our team is as diverse as our partners - hailing from 14 countries and companies like King, Rovio, Wargaming, The Carlyle Group and Morgan Stanley. We’re a passionate, international team that works hard and has a sense of humor. We value originality of thinking, thoughtfulness and courage. Carry1st is a fully remote, distributed company and we are looking for the best people to join us as we rapidly innovate and scale.
