EFL (Entrepreneurial Finance Lab): Sendior Dev / Tech Lead
Lima, Peru (or remote after 6 months in Lima)
EFL's mission to expand access to finance for entrepreneurs in emerging markets by equipping banks with better tools to identify entrepreneurial potential and lend to small business owners. We started as a research initiative at Harvard and are now working as a for-profit business in 25 different countries across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Basically, we provide an alternative to a FICO credit score in emerging markets by using demographic, psychometric, location, and other data.
We're looking for a senior developer / tech lead. Overall we have 30 employees with a product/dev team of 5. This is a chance to take the reins of the full stack - from how we collect data in rural african markets (Android tablets) to score (Python/Celery) to how we return our product to our customers (Django). You'll also be in charge of growing a small team and taking overall design and implementation ownership of the stack. And in Lima there is great food, great surf, and it's super laid back...
