About this role

This role builds reliable verification services, governed evidence flows, and practical operating outcomes across African corridors.

What you might work on

• Event streaming and message queues

• Experience with production AI or ML systems

Our Core Values

1. Traders Win, We Win

   If traders aren't getting better outcomes, we haven't earned the right to scale. Every internal decision gets pressure-tested: does this make traders' lives better? If we can't draw the line, we question why we're doing it.

2. High Standards, High Care

   We hold a high bar for the team because traders are counting on us to get this right. But high standards only work with genuine investment in each other. You can take risks, admit mistakes, and challenge ideas—not despite our standards, but because of them.

3. Thoughtful Urgency

   We move fast by default, but speed without judgment is recklessness. The discipline is knowing which decisions are reversible vs. not. In trade AI, the companies that win will be fast everywhere they can be and careful everywhere they must be. We build the muscle to do both.

4. Intensely Measured

   We instrument trader outcomes, operator ROI, system performance, and verification accuracy. But data without action is surveillance. Every metric should have an owner, a threshold, and a response plan. If we're measuring something but never acting on it, we stop measuring it.

Who Builds With Us

• Low ego: Politics and territory don't interest you. The best ideas win, regardless of who has them.

• Direct: You say the hard thing, challenge ideas openly, and commit fully once decided.

• High agency: You thrive on trust rather than instruction. When you see something is broken, you fix it. You don’t file tickets and wait for someone else.

• Bar of excellence: Verification agents run on one corridor data foundation — field capture becomes packaged evidence, and independently reviewable evidence clears sovereign verification bars.

• Skeptical: You push back on rules that don’t make sense and question assumptions that haven’t earned their place.
