Come change how the world understands people.
Yazi runs surveys, AI-moderated interviews and diary studies inside WhatsApp. People answer in text, voice notes, photos and video, and AI helps turn those conversations into insight companies can act on.
Why now
A category moving fast. A company moving with it.
Research is changing more in a few years than it did in the previous twenty. It is moving out of long forms and panel portals and into the conversations people already have.
Yazi is building the WhatsApp-native way to do that. Companies and researchers run surveys, AI-moderated interviews and diary studies directly through WhatsApp, and AI helps turn thousands of conversations into something a team can use.
We sit where research, technology, AI and SaaS meet. The category is changing quickly, and we are growing with it.

Before you apply
Questions candidates ask
How do I apply for a job at Yazi?
Open the role you are interested in and select Apply for this role. We ask for your name, email, cellphone number, LinkedIn profile, your CV and a few sentences on why you want to work at Yazi. Some roles add one role-specific question. It takes about five minutes.
Why does Yazi interview candidates on WhatsApp?
Because it is how our product works. Yazi runs research conversations on WhatsApp, so shortlisted candidates answer a short set of questions in the same conversational experience our clients use, in text or voice notes, in their own time.
Do I need a cover letter?
No. Your CV covers your experience. Instead, tell us in a few honest sentences why you want to work at Yazi. For creative roles, a link to work you have made matters more than anything else.
Where are Yazi's roles based?
Current roles are based in Cape Town, South Africa. Yazi runs research in 25+ countries and works with clients across continents, so you will work with teams and markets well beyond Cape Town.
Something interesting is being built here. Come build it.
