About MineTrade

MineTrade is the ultimate marketplace for mining investments, connecting local and global investors with mining asset owners in Africa.

Our platform simplifies the process of discovery, evaluation, and securing mining opportunities regionally and worldwide.

MineTrade's mission is to democratise mining investments by providing a transparent, accessible, and innovative platform that empowers both investors and mining asset owners.

We've built our prototype and validated early interest.

The next phase is to evolve the product into a scalable platform and that's where you come in.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a,
Founding Engineer
, a hands-on developer who's ready to help shape the product, technical direction, and future engineering capability of MineTrade.

You'll work closely with the founder and our fractional CTO, who will provide architectural guidance and mentorship as the product matures.

This setup gives you the chance to grow into a leadership role as the business and team expand.

This role starts equity-based until funding is raised, with a vesting agreement tied to time and milestones.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the development of the MineTrade platform (currently a working prototype on Wix, moving to a scalable stack).

  • Collaborate with the founder and fractional CTO on architecture, technical roadmap, and implementation strategy.

  • Contribute to the product roadmap and feature design, balancing speed with scalability.

  • Implement, test, and iterate quickly using AI-assisted tools and lean development principles.

  • Help shape MineTrade's long-term technology approach and development culture.

What We're Looking For

  • Capability: Strong development skills and a track record of building functional, scalable products.

  • Enthusiasm: A genuine belief in MineTrade's mission and excitement about building something impactful from the ground up.

  • Capacity: The time and commitment to contribute meaningfully (around 15–20 hours per week initially).

  • Integrity: Someone dependable, transparent, and collaborative.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset — you're comfortable with ambiguity and passionate about problem-solving.

  • Willingness to work for equity pre-funding, with a clear pathway to a paid position post-investment.

Why Join Now

  • Collaborate with an experienced founder and fractional CTO.

  • Build and own the technical foundation of a product that modernises a major industry.

  • Shape the direction of the technology and product as the business grows.

  • Earn equity from day one, vesting tied to contribution and milestones.
