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, two ops people.
  • Hybrid: three days in our Cantonments 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.

If you're excited about what we're building and think we'd be silly not to talk, send us a note. We hire generalists, too.
