About the Company

Capi helps businesses in Africa pay their international suppliers. We

million in funding, with General Catalyst, Firstminute, Kima
Ventures, Paul Graham, and many other great investors backing us.

Capi was founded by Mitch Riley, Scott Liddle, and Tom Watson. Mitch
and Scott were COO/CFO/GC and CRO/CMO at Taptap Send, a remittance
unicorn, and have spent two decades between them working in emerging
markets. Tom is a third-time founder having founded Hubble and P4SD.

As the second engineering hire at a fast-growing seed-stage fintech

to shape the product vision and our technical architecture. The
Product Engineer role is one that builds technology to solve customer

the root cause of the issue and the creativity to build a solution
which balances impact, effort and delight.

    automate our non-tech processes and add to our tech best
    practices to improve our output and efficiency

    launch

  * WhatsApp bot that creates quotes for customers based on their
    responses
  * Self-serve onboarding flow that collects company information and
    KYC documents from customers
  * Asynchronous workers that OCR invoices
  * Internal tooling to manage and process millions of dollars of
    transactions

P.S. Our stack is: Typescript, React, NextJS, NodeJS, Express,
PostgreSQL

About you

  * Experience in a VC-backed engineering team and experience
    building products used by customers
  * A strong understanding of web development and frontend / backend
    best practices and how they can best be used in the context of
    our customers and stage of company
  * Excellent written and verbal communication skills for expressing
    ideas, designs, and potential solutions with both technical and
    non-technical team members and customers
  * You care about our mission and solving the problems faced by
    African businesses
  * Comfortable working in an early-stage startup environment with
    high pace, rapid growth, involvement in the entire product
    development process and a high degree of ambiguity

Bonus Points:

  * +2 for French speaking
