To further enable and empower our people, Microsoft today launched its first Africa Development Centre (ADC). With two initial sites in Nairobi, Kenya and Lagos, Nigeria, the ADC will serve as a premier centre of engineering for Microsoft, where world-class African talent can create solutions for local and global impact. Microsoft plans to staff these centers using local Engineering talent sourced from across the continent. The company also intends to recruit 100 full-time engineers by the end of the year – expanding to 500 across the two sites by 2023. Interested persons can apply at Microsoft’s Recruitment Website or visit Microsoft ADC’s website for more info.
