/ Company
Jenga is Swahili for build.
Jenga Systems is a technology company based in Nairobi, Kenya. We design, build, and operate the systems businesses run on — B2B platforms, payments and messaging infrastructure, data products, and media platforms.
We are also a product company. Our data aggregation, ticketing and streaming, and virtual sports platforms are built and operated in-house, which means the engineering we sell has already been tested against our own traffic, our own revenue, and our own 3 a.m. incidents.
/ Principles
How we engineer
01
Model the money first
Screens are the last thing we design. Data models, money flows, and reconciliation come first, because that is where business systems succeed or fail.
02
Assume the network fails
On African rails — mobile money callbacks, USSD sessions, venue Wi-Fi — failure is a design input. Everything we build retries, resumes, and reconciles.
03
Boring technology, sharp engineering
We choose proven tools a small team can operate for a decade, and spend the innovation budget on the problem, not the stack.
04
Operate what we ship
We run our own products in production and offer the same operational discipline — monitoring, runbooks, support — for everything we build for clients.
/ Engagement
Three ways to work with us
A
Build
Fixed-scope discovery, then milestone-based delivery of a system you own outright — code, infrastructure, and documentation.
B
Build & operate
We deliver the system and keep running it — monitoring, support, and continuous improvement under a monthly agreement.
C
Platform & revenue share
For premium rate services, messaging, and our platforms: launch on infrastructure we already operate, and share revenue instead of funding a build.
