Build Researchor with us
We are making research expertise findable, research work fairly paid, and the line between research support and academic misconduct unambiguous. That is a harder product than it sounds.
Why work here
Four things about this company that are true before you join, not after.
- 1
The integrity line is the job
Most marketplaces treat policy as a compliance afterthought. Here it is the product decision that determines what we will and will not build. If that distinction interests you rather than annoys you, this is the right place.
- 2
Africa-first, not Africa-eventually
Built for researchers and institutions across Africa from the start, with payment rails, connection speeds, currencies and institutions included, rather than retrofitted after a Western launch.
- 3
Small enough that your work ships
There is no layer between deciding something and it being live. That also means there is nowhere to hide, which suits some people and not others.
- 4
We say what is true
We publish what is not built yet and refuse to display certifications we do not hold. You will not be asked to write a claim you cannot stand behind.
Teams
Eight teams, and what each one is actually responsible for.
Engineering
Builds the marketplace: the applications both roles use, the escrow and payment layer, and the infrastructure underneath.
Product
Decides what gets built and what does not, and is responsible for the flows actually being usable by a researcher under deadline.
Research
Owns the domain: what research work actually involves, how experts are assessed, and where the integrity line sits in practice.
Design
Owns how the product looks, reads and behaves, from the marketplace interfaces to the policy pages.
Operations
Keeps the marketplace running: expert onboarding, payouts, reconciliation and the day-to-day of a two-sided platform.
Trust & Safety
Reviews reports, decides disputes, and enforces the academic integrity rules the platform depends on.
Customer Success
Supports both sides through their first projects and turns recurring questions into Help Center articles.
Marketing
Explains what Researchor is to people who have been burned by platforms that promised more than they delivered.
Open positions
Nothing is open at the moment, and we would rather say so.
No open positions right now
We would rather show you an empty page than a list of vacancies that do not exist. Send us your CV and we will come back to you when something opens on your side of the product.
Not seeing a role that fits?
Send us your CV and a short note on what you would want to own. We read everything and aim to reply within 2 business days.
