Careers

Build the systems African businesses run on

We are a small team building software that people use to run real businesses. If that appeals, we would like to hear from you.

Why people join

The work is legible

You will be able to point at what you built and say who uses it. Businesses depend on this software to pay their staff, which is a good kind of pressure.

Small teams, real ownership

Nobody here is a ticket queue. You will own a problem end to end, including the parts that are not strictly your discipline.

Built for a specific place

We are not localising someone else's product. We are building for how business is actually done across the continent, which is a more interesting problem.

Open roles

Nothing open right now

We are not actively hiring at the moment, but we keep every application on file and we do read them. If you think you should be here, tell us what you would work on.

Hiring

What the process looks like

Five steps, usually inside three weeks. You will always know where you stand and who is deciding.

  1. 1

    Apply

    Send your CV and a short note about what you have built. We read every one.

  2. 2

    First conversation

    Thirty minutes on what you are looking for and what the role actually involves. No trick questions.

  3. 3

    Practical exercise

    A scoped piece of real work, timeboxed and paid where it takes more than a couple of hours.

  4. 4

    Team conversation

    Meet the people you would work with day to day, and ask them anything.

  5. 5

    Offer

    A decision within a week of the last conversation, with a clear answer either way.
