Careers at OKA234
We are a small, remote-first team building commerce infrastructure for buyers, sellers and agents across Africa and beyond.
Where we hire
Engineering
Full-stack and platform engineers working on the marketplace, payments, escrow integrations, search and the agent tooling. We work in TypeScript, Next.js, React and PostgreSQL, and ship continuously to production.
Seller success
Help merchants open a storefront, get approved, configure shipping and grow their sales. Part commerce advice, part product expert — you are the first person a new seller talks to.
Trust & operations
Review seller verification and KYC, mediate disputes, investigate counterfeit listings and keep the quality-control inspection network running.
Agent partnerships
Recruit, train and support the independent sales agents who bring buyers and sellers onto the platform and take on on-site inspections.
How we work
- Remote-first. We work asynchronously, with written decisions and short, focused calls when they help.
- Small teams, real ownership. You will own a surface end to end — from the database query to the pixel a buyer sees.
- Ship weekly. Work goes out to production continuously rather than at the end of a long release cycle.
- Close to the customer. Everyone reads support tickets and talks to sellers and agents; the product gets better when the builders hear the problems first-hand.
How to apply
There is no long form. Email [email protected] with:
- the area you are applying for, in the subject line
- a short note on what you have shipped or run before
- links — a CV, portfolio, GitHub, or the product itself
You will hear back either way. The process is typically a short conversation about your experience, a practical exercise close to the actual work, and a final conversation about terms.
Not seeing your role?
Send the same email anyway describing what you would do here. We hire ahead of specific openings when the right person writes to us, and we work with independent agents and QC inspectors across many markets — see the agent programme if that fits better.
