Careers · Nairobi

Help Nairobi eat well.

We’re building Nairobi’s food app: home cooks, private chefs, the city’s top hotel kitchens, PikaFresh, recipes and Pika, in one place. Small teams, real ownership, and work that ends up on somebody’s plate.

What you’d build

Four apps, one supper.

Every order touches the whole platform: the person ordering, the cook at her pot, the rider at the gate and the team keeping it all safe.

  1. The PikaBox app’s home: tonight’s pick and every way to eat

    The PikaBox app

    Cook, order, book a chef or ask Pika, for everyone who eats in Nairobi.

  2. A home cook’s pot in the app, with the riders collecting at her gate

    Cook and chef tools

    Pots, menus, bookings and payouts for the people who cook.

  3. The rider app: a job offer with its full pay

    The rider app

    Offers, shifts, handover codes and nightly pay for every rider.

Console: a PikaFresh store’s day, from picking to handover

ConsoleThe portals that run the day: stores, suppliers, fleets, hotels, brands and our own operations team.

How we work

Work that ends up on a plate.

A few things that hold for everyone on the team, whatever they build.

  1. You’ll see it at supperWhat we ship reaches a Nairobi table. The feedback is dinner, and the people cooking it.
  2. Own it from day oneSmall teams, each owning a product and what it does for the people using it.
  3. Safety before speedAllergens, payments and who gets to cook are never a shortcut.
  4. Honest by defaultWe say what the product does today, and show numbers only when they are real.
  5. Built for the people who earnCooks, chefs, riders and farmers get tools as good as the ones customers see.
  6. Nairobi firstSolved on Nairobi’s streets first, with M-Pesa, Sheng and the gate at the end of the drive.
