  • Proven track record of shipping and scaling platforms (marketplaces, e-commerce, or logistics).
  • Familiarity with AI/ML (LLMs, computer vision, pricing engines).
  • Entrepreneurial mindset—hands-on builder ready for speed and ambiguity.
  • Broad-based business skillset, including ability to think strategically, own and manage a budget, and contribute to commercial success

Why join us

  • Shape the technical DNA of a fast-scaling African venture.
  • Build systems at the intersection of e-commerce, AI, and the circular economy
  • Work with a seasoned founding team (ex-Jumia, Wasoko, MarketForce).
  • Base salary + meaningful equity.
