Senior Software Developer

We're not building just another app — we're building platforms that empower communities, and tech that scales fast and delivers real-world impact.

We're hunting for raw brilliance. If you’re a developer who thrives in fast-moving startup environments, loves shipping product early (win or fail), and wants to help shape architecture from the ground up — this one's for you.

What we’re looking for:

• 7 to 12+ years of hands-on dev experience — ideally in early-stage, product-driven teams.
• You're either an ex-founder, a serial startup builder, or just a damn good engineer who wants in early
• You’ve worked long hours before — not because you had to, but because you were obsessed with the product and the mission.
• Solid exposure to TypeScript, NodeJS, NestJS — but culture fit and raw problem-solving matter more than specific tech
• You’ve done time in consumer internet, fintech, or global tech firms — and you’ve got the scars (or badges) to show for it
• You treat GitHub like a second brain — show us what you’ve built
• Bonus points if you bring a touch of entrepreneurial spirit to the team

What you’ll get:

• Join a tight-knit crew (getting rewarded well for it
• A chance to build from scratch — real input, real ownership
• Remote-first setup with strong ties to Cape Town
