Remote-first. Cape Town registered office. We hire on craft, curiosity, and the ability to ship. Right now we hire when the right person turns up — not on a schedule.
These are the roles we keep finding ourselves needing as we grow. Even when there's no published listing, a strong application against one of these triggers a conversation.
You like both halves of the stack and aren't precious about which. You can ship a non-trivial feature end-to-end — schema, migration, controller, view, tests.
You think in flows, not screens. You can mock something in Figma in the morning and ship a clean implementation in the afternoon. Bonus: opinions on copy.
You can read a stack trace and a customer's message in the same breath. The kind of person who wants to know what actually broke, not just unblock the customer.
You've sold software to SA SMEs before and you know which conversations actually convert. Comfortable being the first non-founder commercial hire.
Work from wherever you do your best work. Cape Town is the registered office; the rest of the rules we make as we grow.
The person who designs it builds it, ships it, and watches what it does in production. No throw-it-over-the-wall.
We'd rather ship a smaller thing this week than a bigger thing next quarter. Faster feedback beats elaborate plans.
We engineer for the boring-but-critical: encryption, audit log, RBAC, incident response. The unglamorous stuff that lets customers trust us.
Knowing the regulatory + WhatsApp-platform ground is part of every engineer's job here, not something legal handles in isolation.
When we figure something out we write it up — internally first, publicly when it's useful to others.
