Looking for a Tech Cofounder (Mobile App Developer)
Equity + Leadership Role | Remote | Africa-focused
 
We’re building something bold — a platform designed to empower everyday people through real-world commerce and daily utility. The concept is built, the community is growing, and the brand is already in motion. Now, we’re ready to build the MVP.

• Lead the mobile app development (Android-first; iOS optional for now)
• Build core features: user registration, listings, wallet logic, escrow integration, and payments
• Collaborate on product direction and tech decisions
• Scale with the company as a core part of the founding team
 
Ideal Experience:
• You’ve built marketplace-style or P2P mobile apps before
