Who you areYou’ve built payment systems before — experience with provider integrations, fintech products, or transaction processing in production.You’re backend-heavy and full-stack — TypeScript, React, Node, and Postgres preferred but not rigid. What matters is that you can ship production code across the stack.You thrive under pressure — comfortable debugging live transaction failures, being on-call, and communicating directly with clients and providers.You build for resilience — retries, idempotency, fallbacks, and graceful degradation are second nature, not afterthoughts.You ship fast — comfortable with 7-day iteration cycles and managing multiple provider integrations in parallel.You’re a clear communicator — can talk to institutional clients and payment providers without jargon, and keep the team informed without noise.Bonus: Experience with IT security compliance (e.g. DORA, GDPR), or familiarity with African payment providers.
Some topics you’ll think aboutHow do we build a resilient integration layer when every provider has different APIs, failure modes, and documentation quality?What monitoring and alerting do we need to detect and resolve transaction failures before clients notice?How do we scale from one corridor and one client to many of each without re-architecting everything?How do we balance speed of shipping new integrations with reliability of existing ones?What does a great developer experience look like for institutional clients consuming our APIs?
