Unifi has conviction in the African continent and its people, and our products enable our clients to achieve even more. As one of the fastest-growing lenders in Africa, we combine exceptional client service with the very best tech and data analytics.

You'll take ownership, solve real business problems and help us continuously improve how we build software as Unifi grows.

Our Technology Stack

We work with a modern and diverse technology stack to deliver high-quality solutions.
Our core technologies include Groovy, Java and Kotlin (for new services) for programming, with Micronaut and Spring Boot as our primary application frameworks.
We use Gorm and Hibernate for persistence and rely on MySQL as our main database. For web-based user interfaces, we utilize Vaadin.
In addition, our technology stack features Activiti for workflow management, Micronaut and JAX-RS for microservices, and Electron for our desktop Branch Application.
We manage queue processing through Apache ActiveMQ Artemis.
Other tools in our stack include MongoDB for document storage and Apache Velocity as our template engine. We also use Swagger for API documentation.

We stay connected through Slack and Google, and manage our development cycle with Jira.
