Description supplied by the original job listing.
Pawayu Africa is building an Industrial Operating Platform — the infrastructure layer for Africa’s industrial economy.
We are looking for a highly experienced Senior Bubble Developer / Software Engineer with strong frontend + backend engineering capability to join us at a critical stage of the platform's development.
This is not a conventional Bubble developer role.
We already have a substantial platform foundation. The immediate challenge is to help us:
🔹 Conduct a comprehensive technical audit
🔹 Refine and stabilize the existing MVP
🔹 Review and strengthen the architecture
🔹 Complete critical web/mobile development
🔹 Integrate APIs and external systems
🔹 Strengthen marketplace and vendor workflows
🔹 Develop My Garage & Asset Management
🔹 Build the foundation for Digital Asset Passport & Industrial Asset Identity
🔹 Develop Platform Agents & Acceptance
🔹 Support GPS/Telematics/IoT integrations
🔹 Prepare the platform for real-world pilot deployment
🔹 Establish technical documentation, testing and deployment standards
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Someone who is genuinely strong in:
Bubble + Software Engineering + Frontend + Backend + APIs + Databases + Architecture
Experience with some of the following is highly valuable:
• Xano
• Node.js / Python
• REST APIs & Webhooks
• Mobile development
• Cloud/backend infrastructure
• IoT / GPS / Telematics
• Wialon / Teltonika / Technoton / Traccar
• AI/API integrations
• Marketplace, logistics, fleet or asset-management platforms
Most importantly, we need someone who can audit an existing platform, understand what is already there, identify what needs to change, stabilize it and make sound architectural decisions.
We are not looking for someone who wants to rebuild everything from scratch.
🌍 THE INITIAL ENGAGEMENT
90–120 days
10–15 hours/week
US$500–US$700/month development allowance
This is an initial founder-stage development allowance, not the eventual CTO salary.
📈 FOUNDER EQUITY
We are prepared to discuss:
12% Founder Equity
subject to mutual agreement, founder documentation, vesting, contribution/commitment terms and formal corporate approval.
The longer-term objective is for the successful candidate to transition into the formal:
Technical Co-Founder & CTO
role as Pawayu moves into commercial deployment, revenue and further funding.
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY?
You will not simply be building another marketplace.
You will be helping build infrastructure connecting:
Industrial Commerce • Mobility • Logistics • IoT • Telematics • AI • Asset Intelligence • Industrial Services • Finance • Insurance • Leasing
across Africa.
If you are an experienced Senior Bubble Developer / Software Engineer who believes you can take an existing platform through:
Audit → Refine → Stabilize → Integrate → Test → Pilot → Scale
we would like to hear from you.
