Remote/Hybrid | Africa Region Projects | Full-Time

Build the Backbone of African Fiscal Systems

We are on the hunt for a Senior backend-savvy developer who thrives in the command line and crafts high-performance services that don't blink under load. This isn't just another API gig it's about building rock-solid logic, powering automated systems, and keeping the heartbeat of African fiscal platforms running smoothly on Linux.

What You'll Actually Do:

• Own the backend: Design & develop services in Node.js (Express/NestJS) using TypeScript
• Go full penguin: Navigate, script, and manage processes in Linux environments
• Automate all the things: Build schedulers, background workers, and async workflows
• Ship clean code: Write testable, maintainable, and well-documented backend modules
• Collaborate & contribute: Join sprints, do code reviews, and drop knowledge in team sessions
• Deploy with confidence: Help build & maintain CI/CD pipelines for seamless releases

Tech Stack Must-Haves:

• Node.js: You've built real backend systems (not just endpoints)
• TypeScript: Fluent in backend-focused design patterns
• Linux: You speak shell, read logs, and tame rogue processes
• Async Programming: You understand the Event Loop and love async/await
• DB Skills: SQL or NoSQL (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.)
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins you're at least familiar
• Testing: You write tests using Jest, Mocha, or friends
• Git: Branch like a pro, merge with grace

Bonus Points If You Know:

• Docker or containerized deployments
• Event-driven architectures or message queues
• Cloud basics (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• How to schedule jobs with cron or Linux schedulers

You'll Shine If You Have:

• A relevant IT degree or diploma
• 8-10 years of backend experience with TypeScript + Node.js
• A love for Linux and the smell of fresh logs in the morning

Sounds like you?

Please apply and help us build resilient, scalable tech that powers Africa's fiscal future.
