Highly qualified candidates of all races, ethnicities, cultures, ages, genders, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, languages, social class, marital status, religions, veteran status, and disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
We are a fully distributed global team. We do not have a head office, and most staff work remotely. While this role is a remote position, the successful candidate must be based in Africa.
Travel up to 15% of the time may be required.
