Are you ready to help us make Africa the first cashless continent? We are working to provide financial services that actually function for everyone, regardless of their access to traditional banking. With millions of users across six countries, we are growing quickly and looking for passionate people to join our mission of building reliable, inclusive financial infrastructure.
What you bring
As an Engineering Manager, you will lead our Prod Finance and Compliance team in a full-time, remote capacity from anywhere between UTC -1 and +3. You will oversee a team of up to six engineers, ensuring our systems for KYC, anti-money laundering, and treasury operations remain scalable and compliant. Your primary responsibilities include:
- Collaborating with product managers to define project scopes and set clear objectives.
- Providing technical mentorship and guidance to help your team build high-quality, reliable systems.
- Fostering a positive, collaborative team culture while facilitating effective engineering processes.
Requirements
We are looking for a leader who is fluent in English and has at least one year of experience managing a software engineering team. You should have a background in backend server development, strong technical design skills, and proficiency with SQL. Experience working on a compliance-focused team is essential, as is a proven ability to coach engineers, manage performance, and work closely with product stakeholders to deliver results. Our ideal candidate values simple, straightforward architecture over complex, shiny technology and is comfortable working with our stack, which includes Python, Postgres, Kubernetes, and React.

We believe in transparency and offer a competitive salary of up to $167,000 USD, supplemented by a generous equity package. We are committed to supporting your professional and personal well-being through the following benefits:

- Comprehensive equity compensation.
- Subsidized health insurance and retirement contributions tailored to your location.
- Six months of fully paid parental leave and support for fertility assistance.

We review applications on a rolling basis and look forward to learning more about you.
