We are now looking to scale quickly, so now is a great time to join and be part of an exciting journey.


We are looking for an enthusiastic, Senior Full Stack Engineer / CTO who will lead in building, scaling and managing the development of our core products: Core System, App and Web Site.



You wont merely be handed specs: youll be in charge of taking ideas from the whiteboard all the way through to them being live, tracking the results, and iterating to make them better. For this reason, this role is only suitable for someone who likes being closely involved in product — what to build and how it will work, as much as the technical implementation itself.


This role is especially suited to someone who wants to be part of the founding team and influence the direction of the company.


Again, this is a hands-on role and you will be leading and managing the company’s technological vision, strategy and development. You will be expected to help in the preparation of presentations to the Board and lend a hand when needed to customer queries.

We are a Start-up after all. You will have responsibility for all technical aspects and technological resources of the business including budget control and the recruitment of additional development personnel, whom you will lead.


We are looking for a self-starter with a go-to attitude and plenty of initiative, an excellent communicator, including a proven ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly and concisely to non-technical people. Excellent problem-solving abilities are also important in the role.
