Graduate Software Developer

Our product started as a side project in 2022 and now has a few hundred paying customers, mostly in Dar es Salaam Region.

Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging.

• Draft short design docs for larger changes and walk the team through the tradeoffs.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.

Minimum qualifications:

• 1+ years of professional software development experience.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.

Compensation and benefits:

Salary: TZS 930,000 - TZS 1,050,000 a month

• Medical cover.
• Pension contribution.
• Annual leave.
