Written by: Bimuret Damak

Date: February 10, 2026

Resilience Technologies is an innovation-driven cybersecurity company. We are passionate about protecting at-risk communities (such as journalists, civil society, religious groups, etc) who are exposed and vulnerable to state and non-state attacks. We work across various cybersecurity domains (Vulnerability Assessment, Threat Management, Malware Analysis, etc), keeping innovation at the heart of it all to ensure these marginalised communities are both safe and resilient to threats and targeted harms. In three years, and across several projects, we have supported and strengthened the resilience of over 90 organisations in  Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Kenya, Zambia, and more.

About the Program

The RT Graduate Program is a three-month learning and development program aimed at finding and building the next generation of young, vibrant leaders to scale and multiply the impact of the work we do at Resilience Technologies. 
We are looking for young professionals in Nigeria who are in the first 18 months of their career and are interested in doing impactful, rewarding work that scales across Africa and beyond. This program is open to Nigerian applicants only.

If you are:

  • Self-driven: You take initiative and do not wait to be told what to do
  • Diligent: You do what it takes- over and beyond if necessary
