- Role: Web Developer
- Venture: Annona
- Location: Nairobi, Kenya
Annona is an award-winning social enterprise that is taking global supply chains by storm. We are perfecting a mobile platform that simplifies contract management and payments with small- scale producers worldwide. Night and day we think about how to make information, communication and operations both cheaper and efficient.
The Annona platform is a mobile application to document details a buyer would otherwise write down on paper and pen. The web app keeps track of this information in a central cloud-based database for administrators and managers to customize and approve processes for their company.
25,000 farmers have profiles on Annona in 15 countries. We are on a path to becoming the largest platform for small-scale producer trading in the world.
About You
We are looking for someone to join our product and engineering team. You will work directly with the CEO to match our business strategies with our technology. You’ll be responsible for architecting, designing, road mapping and helping build our platform to fit our users’ needs. Scalability will be an overused word in your vocabulary. While you will be working alongside a mobile developer in Kenya, and a part-time developer in Europe, you’ll always be growing our team. The Customer Success, Biz Dev and Ops teams will be your partners when it comes to building the right user features. As we grow our user base, you’ll grow your teams, and you’ll be tasked with leading the charge.
Our back-end is in Python, a nice amount of AWS and a few APIs we have integrated with. We are looking for a developer who can quickly deploy using this stack.
