Senior iOS Engineer - Customer App Development

About Loko

Loko is building the logistics and commerce backbone for African cities. We connect restaurants, couriers, and customers across Zimbabwe with real-time dispatch, dual-currency payments, and tools that work on the networks people actually use.

We’re early, growing quickly, and solving problems that don’t have ready-made answers. Every order that moves through Loko touches software our small team writes, and the combination of hard engineering and real local impact is something we don’t take for granted.

If building a generational company out of Harare resonates with you, please apply.
