At Afriex, our mission is to remove the friction of sending money across borders and to level the economic playing field on a global scale. To achieve this we are building a global payment network: a scalable and usable infrastructure that integrates existing fiat and crypto payment networks, including but not limited to crypto exchanges, banks, card processors, and public blockchains. We believe that cryptocurrency will set a new standard for secure online payments, giving individuals and merchants a seamless way to transact with anybody in the world..

You’ll be a great fit if…

You have experience growing or managing teams to grow innovative consumer products: In this role you will collaborate with an amazing cross-functional team of engineers, marketers, designers, customer service and sales and be actively involved in strategic direction and production decisions for an emerging company. In short, you must be able to demonstrate great leadership and organizational skills.
You hold yourself and others to a high bar: You will design, build and maintain user-facing experiences, services, and systems. You will be responsible for a marketing budget, data pipelines, core company metrics and more. You will leverage the best of Afriex’s stack and build from the ground up when needed.
You thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts: Implementing a production-ready financial platform is difficult interdisciplinary work. We’re seeking someone who’s up to the challenge. You should not be afraid to ask a lot of questions. At the same time, you should have the drive and the organizational skills to take charge of your learning. We’ll work together to strike a healthy balance between collaboration and independence.
You have strong skills for asynchronous communication and remote work: Work at Afriex has always been asynchronous and fully remote, and will continue to be so after the COVID-19 pandemic’s travel restrictions are over. We’re looking for an empathetic person who doesn’t mind collaborating asynchronously, with the excellent verbal and written communication skills necessary to thrive in that environment. After it is safe to travel, we plan to bring the team together in person approximately once per quarter (but we won’t be doing that until it is safe).

You need:

Strong experience with publicly available software products that you can point to.
Your own laptop – Afriex has a Bring Your Own Device Policy (BYOD) for all roles.

Different professional or academic backgrounds are welcome

Please consider applying even if you don’t have:

a traditional product marketing background,
X years of experience in Blockchain technology,
Experience with cryptocurrencies, distributed systems, fintech, or any of the other specific domain details of our work: none of us came in knowing everything, either.

Send in your CV

Initial interview: We’ll chat with you about your background, prior experience, motivation for working at Afriex, and other introductory things. This call is about getting to know you on your terms. After the call, we’ll send you a short take-home assignment, this assignment is more of an opinion piece and should only take 30 minutes to 1 hour. It is meant to measure general product sense and communication skills. It is also used as a good discussion point for the rest of the interview.
Technical interview: In this interview, You’ll meet with an Afriex team member, Investor or advisor to discuss how you would tackle various growth problems. We don’t expect you to know the answer to every question we might ask—an impressive technical interview might just as much mean that you asked insightful questions as that you had insightful answers.
Final team interview: After the technical interview, we’ll let you know whether we’re interested in moving forward to a final interview where you’ll get an opportunity to talk to the entire team at Afriex. We’ll ask you more questions about your leadership and organizational experience and you’ll be able to ask any questions you still have about our culture, our plans, our upcoming technical challenges, and whatever else comes to your mind.
Offer: After the final interview, we’ll let you know whether we’re interested in extending an offer. If we extend an offer, our team members will continue to be available for you to ask anyone any questions that might have come up for you since the last interview.

All of our interviews will be conducted over video chat.

We want you to be comfortably able to show yourself off in the best possible light. If there are any accommodations we can make during the interview process to make things easier for you, please

let us know. At any point, please feel free to email any questions to careers@afriex.co.

We look forward to meeting you!
