• You know how to build responsive web apps, independently.
• You think critically. You always seek a thorough understanding of fundamentals on any subject.

• You care about customer experience above everything else.

What we expect from you:

• Build web applications, with security and simple user experience in mind.

Who we are, and What working with us is like.

• We have a launched product with customers.
• We have raised a pre-seed round from reputable investors in the ecosystem.
• We are still a fairly young company with less than 10 people. So a lot has been accomplished by a small team.
• Everyone on the team is extremely mission-driven and works incredibly hard to push the mission forward.
• This is not the kind of job where you show up and we tell you exactly what to do every day. You are expected to take full ownership of certain goals, and meet them.
• Our office is on Admiralty way, Lekki Phase 1. We run an hybrid working system, with most of us at the office twice a week.
• We have been in operation for a year. We have gotten enough data to validate the opportunity, and are entering a growth phase. It is certainly the best time to join.
