Who we are:

Mama Money is a growth stage fintech startup working to help migrant workers in South Africa send money home. Since 2015 we have been providing reliable remittances, at a socially fair price, to those that need it most.

Mama HQ is in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. We are 131 people strong (and counting) from 19 countries across Africa, Asia, the UK, and Europe. Our culture is built around the well-being of our team members and making a difference in our communities. “Just be lekker!” personifies our approach to work: we trust the wisdom of our talented and diverse team to do what is best for our customers and get the job done responsibly, without pedantic policies.

We’ve been around since 2015 and have earned a few accolades along the way, made some new friends, and expanded our reach. We've had some great times and some tough times, but we continue to focus on helping people rather than maximizing profit.

We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Java Script Developer (Web, Mobile, Middle Layer / BFF) to join us in building exceptional user experiences that empower our customers and drive growth.

The role: As our Senior Full-Stack Java Script Developer you will:

- Contribute to the architecture and development of web and mobile applications, prioritizing user experience and performance.

- Participate in the full lifecycle of front-end development, from ideation through deployment, ensuring front-end best practices.
- Champion UI/UX improvements by incorporating user feedback and analytics.
- Work with Agile methodologies (Scrum), enhancing team productivity and development processes.

- Customer Focus: Ability to prioritize UI/UX and implement designs that meet our customers' needs.
- Collaborative: Strong communication skills and a collaborative spirit, with experience working in Agile environments.

Why Mama:

At Mama Money, the customers & communities we serve are at the heart of all that we do.

We bring our authentic selves to work where we are free to express our diverse identities while staying true to what we believe in and how we feel. Part of that means being able to have difficult conversations when necessary but always remembering to do so with trust, respect, and a positive mindset. Being open to receiving feedback and understanding how this helps us evolve and grow is essential to succeeding in our environment.

We are responsible for ourselves, our behaviour, our delivery, and our output. Although we always aim to move things forward and get $hit done, we start small - taking it step by step and always looking for ways in which we can improve. We know from experience that when we work together towards a common goal, we can achieve anything.

Mama Money is a special place because we care. We care about our customers, we care about the people who work for us and we care about the impact our work has on the world. There are things that we don’t care about too. Things like bureaucracy, discrimination, ego, titles, and silos. We’re a friendly bunch who don’t take ourselves too seriously but we do take our work, and our customers’ hard-earned money, very seriously.

Mama’s values:

1. Customer & Community

2. Brave & Authentic

3. Positive Mindset

4. Responsible Mindset

5. Togetherness

NB: Applications only open to candidates in Cape Town, or candidates who are actively looking to relocate at their own expense.
