Summary

What we do

Karri is a fin-tech startup developing a product in the school payments space. The Karri system allows parents to easily pay their school for their child's events and other expenses using a mobile application. No more searching for loose change or making cumbersome EFTs.

karri also helps school and teachers by streamlining the cash collection process within the school, , eliminating time-consuming and costly collection methods and improving safety and security for everyone involved.

Why Work For Us

Karri is a young, innovative company. We have recently partnered with Nedbank to take our solution to every school in the country, and then onward internationally. We are a small family of highly motivated, skilled and passionate people who are committed to making a difference in the lives of parents, teachers and students.

Our Culture

Our culture is young and quirky, yet very ambitious. We love working with technically A+ players who can share in our vision of becoming a household name. our office vibe is very laid back and relaxed. We believe in loving what you do every day, and strive to help each other grow and find their niche within our ranks.

Our Engineering Processes

We use an agile methodology mixed in with an entrepreneurially minded, super lean feature selection and prioritisation approach. Our working style aims to encourage any and all input, as we pride ourselves on teamwork. Why hire smart people if you aren't going to listen anyway?

Our Hiring Process

We believe that a good fit between the team and our hiring candidates is paramount. Our hiring process starts with a quick culture fit meeting. Followed by a basic technical skill assessment, either via online test or a quick whiteboard session with one of the developers. Thereafter, a final meeting with the management team before we welcome you in. If at all possible during the interview process, we love to get candidates in for a day to get to know them better in the working context (and extract free labour of-course)
