Company Introduction

Cashlet is a fintech company focused on helping people save, invest, manage and grow their money in the simplest way possible. Founded back in 2019, we use a fully mobile-based app, focused on helping you achieve your financial goals by giving you a platform that allows you to start with as little as Ksh. 500. You have the power to control how much you save, and where to invest and grow your balance.

About the Role

We are looking for a Front end React Native developer interested in building performant mobile apps on both the iOS and Android platforms. You will be responsible for architecting and building these applications, as well as coordinating with the teams responsible for other layers of the product infrastructure.

  • Have experience on Version Control Systems such as Git

  • Familiarity with native build tools, like XCode, Gradle
