We’d like to work with you!
We are a young, promising technology startup company redefining how AI can improve the lives and livelihood of every day (ordinary) people. We’ve been working with AI, underground, in the last 3 years but our big success came in the last 12 months.
Today, we boast of a cool (but extremely useful) AI technology and a growing, vibrant community of stakeholders and people in the fashion value chain. To make this experience even more interesting for fashion lovers (buyers and sellers) across the world, we are currently aggregating and indexing over 1 million fashion products across different categories and demography across the globe.
Without any doubt, this is a BIG adventure that requires a team. Therefore, I’m personally inviting you to join us in taking these baby steps towards a great and bright future together.
As we’ve begun this journey towards becoming one of Africa’s Big Four in tech, and an ubiquitous Marketplace for fashion, we’re looking for smart and resilient people in the following capacities who are ready to join us in making buying and selling stress-free in Africa in the fashion space.
Why work with Touchabl?
Because we’re new and still growing, we have a remote work setup; that means you get to work from where you are now. We’re fresh, and you will be working with new and exciting people on a new, fresh mission. We are optimistic this experience will open a new world of adventure for you. IF WE SUCCEED, you will be able to relish what it takes to build a truly global company, under tough environment, for many years to come.
It’s an opportunity to be among the people creating a new reality and building the future together as a community and as friends.
As a startup company, we believe in offering value (not money, because we’re not doing this for money and we don’t have it yet). However, we can make you a deal that, as we grow and succeed together, this value will convert to wealth (not money, because we believe you’re more valuable than money). Some of the extra values we offer include;
- Health Insurance
- Pension Contribution
- Basic allowance
- Competitive salary and more
