Summary

What we do

SweepSouth is the largest online marketplace on the African continent for ordering and paying for home services.

We are alumni of the Silicon Valley-based 500 Startups, a leading global venture capital seed fund and startup accelerator.

Why Work For Us

We have an opportunity to change a global industry that has been operating on phones and classifieds for the past 50 years. What stands between the old way of doing things and the opportunity at hand is a $440B USD global market. We're a successful, well funded company, working on fun, relevant and highly challenging technical problems. Join us and be part of this movement.

Our Culture

We're a diverse, smart and socially conscious group of people. We're passionate about making a difference and not afraid to challenge the status quo.

Things you should know

This isn’t a zero-sum environment. Our product gives home service workers access to opportunity and digital enablement, it exchanges admin for convenience and simplicity for our customers, and it unlocks unlimited personal growth for the people who build it.

We all get shit done, ship fast, and learn. We operate on low process and high trust, and trade on impact. If you're going to keep pace, you have to care deeply about what you're doing and commit to continuously developing your craft. That means SweepSouth is not the right place for everyone.

If you prefer a prescriptive corporate structure, with rigid hours, and delivery only in response to request, that’s not us. If you’re seeking hypergrowth, immense potential, can turn complex problems into simplicity for users, and can thrive on change and chaos, you’ve found the right place.
