Technical Co-Founder
- CLOSED
Role Overview
Build the Future of Real Estate in Africa
We are building a revolutionary real estate technology infrastructure designed to transform how property is bought, sold, rented, managed, and discovered across Africa.
Our vision is ambitious.
Just as Zillow transformed real estate in North America and Property24 reshaped property search in South Africa, we are building the next generation of real estate infrastructure for one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
We are seeking a highly driven Technical Co-Founder who is excited by the opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up.
This is not a traditional employment opportunity.
This is an opportunity to become a founding partner in a venture with the potential to redefine an entire industry.
About the Opportunity
The company is currently led by an experienced entrepreneur with a proven track record in technology, real estate, business development, and venture creation.
We have identified a significant gap in the African real estate ecosystem and are building technology to solve it at scale.
We are looking for a technical leader who can help bring this vision to life.
