Software Engineer

Distro
Nairobi
Full-time

About Distro

Distro was built to take that work off their plate. Our AI handles the screening, scoring, and logistics so your team can do what only humans can: build relationships, evaluate culture fit, and make decisions that matter.

Description

You will debug real production issues across tiers, which is where most of the genuine learning on this platform happens, and work in containerized environments with Docker. AI is part of the work here, both in how we build — AI-assisted development is normal practice on this team — and in what we build, as AI capability moves into the product. If you are already using these tools seriously and thinking about where they help and where they mislead, that is directly relevant. There is a clear growth path toward Senior Software Engineer, and the modernization work happening between our mature payroll core and the modern stack means genuinely interesting architecture to grow into rather than years of maintenance.

Qualifications

You will need:

5–7 years of hands-on software development

Strong Node.js and Express, with real experience designing RESTful services or microservices

Solid Angular front-end development

Docker and containerized development

Practical experience with AI — whether AI-assisted development tooling, building AI-enabled features, or both

Git, Agile delivery, and unit testing as normal practice

Ability to debug across tiers and reason from symptom to root cause
