• Integrate APIs, data pipelines, and AI models into production-ready systems.

• Optimize systems for performance, security, and reliability across global markets.

• Contribute to the technical roadmap and help establish engineering best practices.

• Proficiency in at least two modern programming languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, or Java).

• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

• Solid understanding of databases (SQL & NoSQL).

• Strong knowledge of RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with AI/ML integration, especially for data-heavy applications.

• Familiarity with financial services, logistics, or trade platforms.

• Startup or fast-growth environment experience.

• Understanding of global markets, with interest in Africa, LATAM, and the Middle East.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary + performance-based incentives.

• Equity/stock options in MOTIKO’s ventures.

• Global exposure working across multiple industries and geographies.
