We are not hiring yet. Come back hungry.
There is no job board here and we are not going to fake one. Right now we are a small team in Lagos getting the first few hundred kitchens right. When that works, we will need people — and we would rather already know your name by then.
These are the four seats we expect to fill first
None of them are live. If one of them sounds like your day job on a good week, write to us anyway — early conversations are how the first hires usually happen.
Backend engineer
Payments · reliability · scale
Conversation state, order lifecycle, payment webhooks. The parts where being wrong costs somebody their dinner and somebody else their money.
Product engineer
Interfaces · design systems · speed
The vendor dashboard is where a kitchen owner spends their evening. It should feel faster than their phone.
Vendor success
Nationwide · on the ground
Sitting with kitchen owners, walking them through their first order, and bringing back the things we got wrong.
Growth
WhatsApp-native marketing
Getting a phone number into the hands of hungry people without buying a single billboard.
How this place actually runs
Small ships beat big plans
Something reaches a real kitchen every week. Nothing sits in a branch for a quarter waiting to be perfect.
Everyone talks to vendors
Engineers included. If you have never heard an owner complain about your feature, you are guessing.
Nigeria-first, not Nigeria-eventually
We build for patchy networks, low-end phones and Pidgin from the start — not as a later localisation ticket.
Skip the CV. Send us something real.
A repo, a side project, a thread of you arguing about an API — anything that shows how you think beats a formatted document. Tell us which of the four seats you are circling and what you would fix about WhatsChow first.
We read everything. We reply slowly and honestly — including when the answer is “not yet”.
In the meantime, the fastest way to help us is to order dinner.
