Job Description
Data Engineer @ Fleetch

Fleetch operates on the African continent in Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, and Angola and looking to expand into new countries.
Fleetch's mission is to purchase and operate vehicles. Currently, these vehicles are leased exclusively to ride-hailing drivers that can work with Heetch or competing platforms.
Fleetch currently operates close to a thousand vehicles, and has set ambitious goals for the coming years, aiming to double its fleet each year.

As such, we constantly challenge existing processes, brainstorm optimisations (automation, purchasing, costs, processes, driver profitability, marketplace, etc.), and consider the future of mobility (electric vehicles, motorcycles, etc.). Fleetch is a pioneer in electric mobility in West Africa, specifically in Dakar and Abidjan.
