  • Establish secure production infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and disaster recovery.
  • Lead full-stack, backend, DevSecOps, QA and integration engineers.
  • Implement enterprise-grade security, authentication, authorisation and data integrity controls.
  • Supervise payment, financial transaction and external API integrations.
  • Establish release certification, incident response and continuous operational management.
  • Work directly with executive leadership to translate product strategies into operational technology businesses.

Candidate Profile

  • Strong hands-on proficiency in React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, APIs and cloud infrastructure.
  • Proven experience leading complex software systems from development to live production.
  • Demonstrated ability to assess, repair and professionalise unfamiliar or AI-generated codebases.
  • Strong understanding of cybersecurity, DevSecOps, scalable architecture and transactional systems.
  • Experience managing engineering teams and technical delivery across multiple products.
  • Fintech, payment systems or regulated technology experience is highly advantageous.

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to lead a diversified technology portfolio with significant commercial growth ambitions.
  • Executive-level technical responsibility and direct engagement with group leadership.
  • Authority to build and manage a high-performing engineering function.
  • Competitive, experience-based remuneration and performance-linked incentives.
  • Long-term opportunity to shape a multi-sector African technology enterprise.

Interested candidates should submit

  • Updated CV and professional profile.
  • Portfolio of production applications personally engineered or technically led.
  • Links to relevant GitHub repositories or demonstrable technical work, where available.
  • Brief description of experience taking software from development into live operations.
  • Current location, availability and remuneration expectations.

Shortlisted candidates will undergo technical assessment, architecture review and executive interviews.

Who Should Apply

Engineers and technology professionals with demonstrable experience building, improving, deploying or operating production software.
