Sell something that already works.
Bloom builds software in Addis Ababa and sells it through representatives working on commission across the country. The build side opens a role rarely. The sales side is open all year — if farm managers, clinic owners, and operators still running on paper already take your calls, there is a place here for you whenever you want it.

What you'd sell
Software that is already running: Bloom Farm on flower farms, our clinic system at reception desks, and custom builds for operators still holding a business together with spreadsheets. Not a pitch deck — you can demo the whole thing from a phone.
How it pays
Commission on every contract you close. No retainer, no cap, and no territory locked away from you. We talk the exact rate through on the first call, in full, before you spend a single day selling.
What it takes
People who already pick up when you call — farm managers, clinic owners, operations people. Patience for a sale that takes months rather than days. Enough curiosity to learn what the software actually does, because buyers ask.
This fits if
- You already work in or around farms, clinics, or operations
- You want income that scales with what you close, next to what you already do
- You'd rather demo a working product than read from a script
Rolling — we take these on all year, and read every one.

Nothing listed — send an open application anyway
A build role only exists once the work has outgrown the team, and by then we're moving fast. The people we call first are the ones already in this inbox.
The work
Three things that are true on either side
Scope
You'd own whole things
Selling, that's the relationship from the first call to the signed contract. Building, it's a feature from the workflow sketch to the screen someone uses at 6am. Nothing here gets handed off halfway.
Distance to the user
You'd meet who it's for
Every build starts on site, and so does every sale. You'd stand in the cold room and at the reception desk, and watch what you sold or shipped get used — badly, until it isn't.
Consequence
Nothing you do is invisible
There is no layer to hide behind here, in either direction. A contract you closed is obvious to everyone. So is a quarter with nothing in it.
What we can't offer you
- A base salary or a retainer
- A list of warm leads to work through
- A quick close — these sales take months
- A ladder of titles to climb
- Fully remote work — deals happen on site
What we can
- Commission with no cap and no territory
- Products already live at real farms
- Your own hours, around what you do now
- The people who built it, one call away
- An answer the same week you ask
How we hire
Two ways in, no riddles
No whiteboard puzzles, no rounds you never hear back from. Every stage is work you can see the point of, and you get an answer after each one.
If you'd sell
Usually two weeks, start to finish.
- 01
A conversation
About an hour with Tesfaye, who runs sales. Who you already know, what you've sold before, and what you'd want this to be worth.
- 02
The product, properly
We walk you through Bloom Farm and the clinic system until you could run the demo yourself. You can't sell software you don't understand, and buyers can tell.
- 03
Your first introduction
You open a door; we come with you and take the technical questions. Nobody's first meeting happens alone.
- 04
Terms in writing
Commission agreed on paper before you close anything, so there is never a conversation about what you're owed.
If you'd build
Slower — we open a build role maybe once a year.
- 01
You send something real
A repo, a live product, a case study. One thing you built and your reasons for building it that way beats three pages of a CV template.
- 02
One long conversation
About an hour, with the people you'd actually work beside. No screening round with someone who won't be there afterwards.
- 03
A small piece of paid work
Real scope, a real deadline, and we pay for it. It tells you what working here feels like better than any interview, and tells us the same in reverse.
- 04
A day where the work happens
Before either side commits, you come with us to a farm or a clinic. If a morning in a packhouse doesn't appeal, this is the right time to find that out.
Apply
One form, either way
Pick the sales role or send an open application — it reaches us directly either way, and we read every one. You'll get a reply. It may take a couple of weeks, and it will come from a person.
Have a link to your CV ready before you start — Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox all work, as long as sharing is switched on.
If you'd sell
Tell us the rooms you can already get into. Which farms, which clinics, which operators — and the biggest thing you've closed. That matters far more than a sales CV.
If you'd build
One thing you made, and the reasoning behind a decision inside it. Unfinished is fine. Built for someone who isn't a developer is better.
What doesn't help
A letter addressed to “the hiring team.” Our names are on the about page— use them.
