Nice to Have

  • Flutter or mobile app development
  • IoT systems or telemetry platforms
  • Fintech / payments systems
  • Experience working in African markets

Compensation

  • KES 120,000 – 250,000/month (negotiable based on experience) 

Why This Role

  • Build and scale real-world infrastructure
  • Work directly with a hands-on CTO
  • Shape an AI-driven engineering culture
  • High ownership and impact
