Quick answer

GeraJobs is a hiring platform that serves Kenyan candidates and employers — full-time roles across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, remote jobs that pay into M-Pesa, and transparent KSh-denominated salary bands.

Regulation: NEA, NITA, Employment Act

Placement and recruitment activity in Kenya is regulated by the National Employment Authority (NEA). Industrial training levies and skills assessments sit with the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA). Employment contracts operate under the Employment Act 2007 and Labour Relations Act 2007. Migrant and cross-border hiring intersects with the Citizenship & Immigration Act. GeraJobs holds a NEA employment bureau registration, and applicant data is handled under the Data Protection Act 2019 with ODPC registration.

Typical salary bands (KSh, Nairobi 2026)

Junior software engineer: KSh 80,000–160,000/month
Senior software engineer: KSh 220,000–450,000/month
Remote global senior engineer (USD → KES): KSh 450,000–1,200,000/month
Digital marketing manager: KSh 120,000–280,000/month

Remote work and M-Pesa payouts

Kenya is a top-tier exporter of remote tech labour. For contractors paid in USD or GBP, GeraJobs integrates with employer-of-record partners (Deel, Remote.com, Niyo) and can settle into a GeraCash wallet that withdraws to M-Pesa at competitive FX spreads — typically faster and cheaper than WorldRemit or Wise for the USD→KES corridor.
