We're hiring

WorkonsoftwareKenyanbusinessesrunon.

We are a founder-run team of six in Parklands, Nairobi, building and operating CashTrace and Rentisha. The team is small enough that you would own real surface area in production within your first month.

Why Kigs Apex

What the work actually is.

🛠️

Production, not prototypes

Both products are live and moving real money. What you ship reaches Kenyan businesses the same week, and you are the one who hears about it when it breaks.

📍

Constraints that are local and specific

M-Pesa rails, KRA eTIMS filing, WhatsApp-first support, the Data Protection Act. The hard parts here are not the ones a generic SaaS team spends its time on.

🚀

Short cycles, visible ownership

No layers between you and the deploy. You scope the work, ship it, and watch how it behaves in production.

🤝

Small team, direct feedback

Six people. Decisions get made in a conversation rather than a committee, and you will be asked what you think.

Own the models behind Rentisha's tenant messaging and leasing automation. That means intent classification over conversations that switch between English, Swahili and Sheng, ranking which vacancy to surface for an enquiry, and keeping inference fast enough to answer on WhatsApp in real time.

What we're looking for:

3+ years building ML systems that run in production
Python, with PyTorch or TensorFlow
Deploying and monitoring models (Docker, Cloud Run or equivalent)
Practical experience with LLMs, including evaluation design
Apply Now

Build the surfaces customers use every day: the landlord and tenant portals in Rentisha, the receivables dashboard in CashTrace, and the APIs underneath both. Next.js on the front, Node and Postgres behind it, deployed to Google Cloud Run.

What we're looking for:

2+ years across frontend and backend
React/Next.js, plus Node.js or Python
API design and relational schema design
Comfortable owning a deploy end to end (GCP preferred)
Apply Now

Our advisory practice funds product development, so this role decides what we take on. You would scope engagements with Kenyan enterprises, work out where automation actually pays back, say so plainly when it does not, and stay involved through delivery.

What we're looking for:

3+ years in consulting, solutions engineering, or enterprise sales
Sound judgement on where AI and automation fit, and where they do not
Clear written and verbal communication with senior stakeholders
Experience delivering for East African enterprises
Apply Now

Two halves. Harden the products we operate, against the posture we publish on our security page, and deliver the reviews our advisory clients pay for. Expect application and cloud security work, plus open-source detection tooling (Wazuh, Suricata, cloud-native logs) tuned to a client environment.

What we're looking for:

2+ years in security engineering or security consulting
Application and cloud review against OWASP Top 10 and CIS benchmarks
Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 and ISO 27001 control mapping
Python or Go for tooling and automation
Apply Now
