About the Company:

Capi helps businesses in Africa pay their international suppliers. Goods importers in Africa pay up to 10% to settle invoices and wait weeks for payments to arrive. We’re on a mission to give businesses in Africa the same price and speed as we expect in the US and Europe.

A fast-growing Series-A start-up. We’ve raised over $18m from Creandum, Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Firstminute, Janngo, Kima Ventures, and some great angels from Revolut, Checkout, Stripe, Onfido, and Remitly.

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.

About the role:

As an early engineering hire at a fast-growing Series A-stage fintech you will have the opportunity to work closely with the founding team to shape the product vision and all parts of our technical architecture.

• Implement IT security and data protection best practices in a regulated environment
• Observe opportunities for improvements internally to help automate our non-tech processes and add to our tech best practices to improve our output and efficiency
• Communicate internally and externally about new features, be it collecting feedback pre-implementation or explaining them on launch

Some projects worked on in the past:

• 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

Requirements

• Experience in a VC-backed engineering team and building products used by customers
• A strong understanding of web development, frontend and backend best practices
• 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
• Based in UK, France or EMEA market (GMT +/- 4 timezone)
