Careers
Build the commerce layer for African WhatsApp.
We're a small team in Accra building the infrastructure for how millions of African SMEs will sell over the next decade. Hiring slowly, writing things down, shipping every week.
What it's like.
- Small team. Six engineers, one designer, 1 ops person.
- Hybrid: three days in our office, two from anywhere.
- We pay above-market in cedis, with optional USD denomination for senior roles.
- Equity for everyone past 6 months.
- Health insurance for you, your partner, and up to 4 dependents.
- Annual learning budget: books, conferences, courses.
- Quiet Fridays: no meetings, ship something.
What we value.
- Boring is beautiful. Reliable infrastructure beats clever architecture.
- Write it down. Decisions live in docs, not Slack DMs.
- Talk to customers. Every engineer rides shotgun on at least one customer call a month.
- Ship small, often. Daily deploys, feature flags, no big-bang launches.
- Local first. We design for the Ghanaian SME, not the Y Combinator demo day.
