Open Source Contributor jobs across Africa

About this role

This is a remote Open Source Contributor contract open to candidates across Africa. You will work asynchronously with international teams on software & engineering projects, choosing your own hours and invoicing in USD. Because the role is fully distributed, employers hire on demonstrated skill rather than location — which is exactly where JobCopilot gives Swazi applicants an advantage.

What you will do

• Deliver open source contributor work to an agreed quality bar and deadline
• Collaborate asynchronously across time zones using written updates
• Iterate on reviewer feedback and keep quality scores high
• Track your own hours and submit them for USD payout

Requirements

• Proven experience as a open source contributor or in a closely related role
• Professional written English and reliable async communication
• A laptop and stable internet in Eswatini (GMT+2)
• A USD payout method such as Payoneer, Wise or a domiciliary account

Pay and what it means in Eswatini

At $50–$85 per hour, twenty billable hours a week works out to roughly $4,000–$6,800 per month — well above the Eswatini mid-level local band of $900–$2,600 per month. Payment is made in USD, so your earnings are insulated from SZL volatility.
