About the Role

We’re building a modern Sales Assistant for B2B teams in Africa—and we need a backend engineer who can do more than just write code. We need someone who cares about building great systems, ships fast, and treats product quality like a personal mission.

You’ll be one of the core builders of our backend, designing APIs, managing databases, improving performance, and contributing to architecture decisions. This is not a ticket-taking role. It’s a high-impact position where your decisions shape the product.

What You’ll Do
  • Design and build backend systems using PHP (Laravel).

  • Create and maintain RESTful APIs that power our frontend and integrations.

  • Manage databases and write efficient queries that scale with usage.

  • Work closely with product, design, and frontend teams to turn ideas into working features.

  • Review code, share knowledge, and help the team improve engineering standards.

  • Monitor performance, debug issues, and implement improvements continuously.

  • Things will break. You take ownership, fix fast, and learn faster.

  • Take full ownership of backend features from idea to deployment.

Who You Are
  • Experienced – You’ve built backend systems in production, ideally in a startup or SaaS environment.

  • Skilled in Laravel – You’re comfortable with modern PHP and can build solid systems in Laravel.

  • Pragmatic – You know when to move fast and when to slow down for quality and stability.

  • Autonomous – You don’t wait to be told what to do. You take ownership and push things forward.

  • Collaborative – You work well with others, communicate clearly, and put the team before ego.

  • Well-Rounded – You’re familiar with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps basics, and integrating third-party APIs.

  • Curious – You like to learn, experiment, and improve continuously.

Why Join Us
  • Salary in Naira: Competitive pay in local currency.

  • Health Insurance: We care about your well-being.

  • Remote Work: Enjoy flexibility in where and how you work.

  • Stock Options: Share in our success as we grow together.

How We Recruit
  • Apply: Fill out our application form. Our team will review your information to assess fit.

  • Interview with CTO: Next, you'll speak with our CTO to dive deeper into your skills, approach, and alignment with the team.

  • Interview with CEO: If our CTO thinks you are a fit, you'll chat with our CEO to get to know you better and share the bigger vision.

  • Offer: If everything goes well, we’ll extend an offer.

If you’re a builder who wants to work on hard problems with a small, ambitious team, this is your shot.
