We're growing the team

Build something students actually love.

We're building Pakistan's easiest student-discount app - launching in Karachi, then Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad and Multan - and we're hiring now. If you want early-stage ownership, real impact, and work that thousands of students will feel every week, we'd love to hear from you.

Why join

Early enough to shape it.

Real ownership

Small team, big surface area. You'll own whole problems, not tickets.

Visible impact

Ship things thousands of students in Karachi will use - and feel - every week.

Move fast

Short meetings, quick decisions, real momentum. We ship, learn, repeat.

Made in Karachi

Build for your own city, with people who get it. Home-grown, ambitious.

Attach your CV directly if you'd rather.

No CV to link? Host it free

The form takes a link, not a file. Any of these work, all free:

  • Google Drive - upload the PDF, right-click → Share → set General access to "Anyone with the link", then Copy link.
  • LinkedIn - if your profile is up to date, just paste your profile URL. That is enough.
  • Dropbox or OneDrive - same idea: upload, create a share link, allow anyone with the link to view.

Please check the link opens in a private/incognito window first. A restricted link is the single most common reason we cannot read an application - and we would rather not have to chase you for it.

Students welcome

Several of these roles suit a final-year student or recent graduate. Say so - it's not a disadvantage here.
