Careers

Build what comes next.

Sohana is building financial infrastructure for community-driven economies. We are still early — intentionally so. This is the phase where the right people don't just join a company, they help define it.

If you're interested in working on problems at the intersection of finance, technology, and real-world impact — we'd like to hear from you.

Honest note: We are not hiring at full scale yet. We are identifying and connecting with people who want to build with us as we grow. Roles below are expressions of interest — submit your details and we'll reach out as positions formally open.

01 · Why join Sohana

Four reasons that should matter to you.

Real-world relevance

Work on a product whose informal version is already used by hundreds of millions of people. We're not creating demand — we're meeting it.

Build systems that matter

Help build the financial coordination layer that improves access to capital for the people who have always built it themselves — without a formal system.

Be on the foundational team

Join before structure hardens. Decisions you make in the next 18 months will compound for the next 10 years. This phase doesn't come twice.

Designed for long-term scale

Sohana isn't a feature. It's infrastructure designed to compound across Africa and global diaspora markets over the next decade. The work has reach.

The work

Build clean, fast, mobile-responsive interfaces for the Sohana platform — dashboards, wallet flows, ROSCA management, and the consumer-facing mobile app. You'll own front-end architecture decisions and ship features end-to-end.

Key requirements
  • Strong React proficiency — and bonus for React Native or Flutter for the mobile track
  • Solid UI/UX intuition — you can take a Figma file and ship something better than the spec
  • Mobile-responsive web — comfortable with performance on mid-range Android over 3G
  • Bonus: experience with HTML/Jinja stacks (current MVP) or progressive web apps
What success looks like (first 6 months)

The mobile experience feels native. Page loads under 2 seconds on real-world African networks. You've shipped at least three flagship user flows and influenced how the product feels.

03 · What we offer

Decent benefits and real ownership.

We are early — that means cash compensation is not yet at large-company levels. What we offer instead is meaningful equity, real ownership of the work, and a culture built around long-term thinking.

$

Meaningful early equity

Stock options that reflect joining at the foundation. The earlier you join, the more upside compounds.

Remote-first, async

Work from anywhere. Core overlap hours respect both EU and African time zones. No mandatory office.

+

Health & wellbeing

Health-insurance support adapted to your jurisdiction. Mental-health resources. Time off when you need it.

Learning budget

Annual budget for books, courses, certifications, and conferences relevant to your work.

Equipment & setup

Laptop, monitor, and home-office setup covered. We don't expect you to fund your own tools.

Real ownership

Not just job titles — actual ownership of decisions, problems, and outcomes. You build it, you run it.

Annual team meet-ups

We come together in person at least twice a year — once in Africa, once in Europe — to align, ship, and rest.

Mission & impact

Work whose outcome you can describe to your grandmother — and have her understand why it matters.

04 · How we hire

We hire for long-term fit, not just résumé fit.

Early teams are built through conversations before contracts. Even if a role isn't formally open yet, reach out if you believe you can contribute meaningfully.

01

Long-term thinkers

You're comfortable with three-year horizons, not three-week ones. You compound rather than sprint.

02

Builders, ground-up

You're comfortable with ambiguity, missing tooling, and evolving systems. You build the road as you walk it.

03

Clarity, ownership, execution

You value clear thinking over clever thinking. You ship. You own outcomes — not just outputs.

04

Aligned with the mission

You believe that improving access to financial coordination is worth a decade of your career — not because it's hot, because it's right.
