Job description

About the Opportunity: Whether you are backpacking πŸŽ’through Vietnam, island-hopping in the Philippines, or living that slow-travel life in Thailand, you know the daily routine: grabbing street food, bargaining at local markets, and renting scooters. You also know the exact moment the fun stopsβ€”when you run out of cash, can't find an ATM 🏧, or get hit with massive withdrawal fees.

We are building PayMoji, an app that lets travelers ditch the bulky wallets and pay like a local using native QR codes across Southeast Asia 🌏. To make sure it works seamlessly in the real world, we need eyes and ears on the ground πŸ‘€πŸ‘‚. We are looking for observant, street-savvy travelers to help us map out exactly how people spend money in the cities you are already exploring πŸ—ΊοΈ.

We are looking to work with people in Vietnam and the Philippines but will open soon to Thailand πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­and Cambodia πŸ‡°πŸ‡­. Feel free to reach out to us in advance!

What You Will Do

  • Hit the Streets: Go about your normal day, visit cafes β˜•, night markets, and local vendors and document the payment experience.

  • Test in the Wild: Use PayMoji to scan local QR codes where you eat, shop, and travel, reporting back on how smoothly (or not) the transaction goes πŸ“².

  • Map the Market: Help us understand the local cash-versus-digital dynamics. Which vendors accept QR? Where is cash still king? πŸ‘‘ What are the biggest physical barriers to paying digitally in your current city?

  • Gather On-the-Ground Intel: Observe and document how local merchants react to foreign travelers using local digital payment methods 🀝.

Who We Are Looking For

  • The Authentic Traveler: You must have a true understanding of being a traveler or digital nomad. We need you to empathize with our users and possess a deep customer understanding, because you live this reality every day πŸŒ….

  • Naturally Curious: You enjoy interacting with locals 🧐, asking questions, and noticing the small details about how a city functions.

  • Self-Motivated: πŸš€ You can manage a simple research brief independently and provide clear, honest feedback from the road.

Why Collaborate With Us

  • πŸ’°Earn While Exploring: This is a project-based, freelance role. You do not need to sit at a desk; your "office" is the market, the cafe, or the hostel.

  • πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈNo Disruption to Your Lifestyle: Complete your tasks while doing the things you were already planning to do today.

  • πŸšͺOpen Possibilities: As PayMoji grows across Southeast Asia, delivering great on-the-ground insights can easily lead to more project opportunities or ongoing collaboration.

How to Apply πŸ“

  1. Send us a short bio about who you are, where you come from, what you are doing in SouthEast Asia, and why you would be interested to work with PayMoji. πŸ’Œ

  2. Share one quick story about the most annoying cash or payment issue you have experienced on your current trip. 😀

  3. Check out the app: from your point of view if you had to improve / change / modify 1 thing, what would it be?
