Back-End Engineer at RenMo Homes Limited

RenMo is a free, secure and convenient platform that allows Ghanaians to pay monthly for their rents.

Basically, you find your own rental unit and then let us know about it. RenMo will then partner with your future landlord to either pre-finance or negotiate with that landlord, allowing you to make repayments on a monthly basis.

As a backend engineer, you will be responsible for curating the structure of server-side information. You will also primarily write server scripts and APIs to be utilized by front-side engineers and UX designers.
