Junior Software Engineer

Wave is revolutionizing financial services in Africa, aiming to make it the first cashless continent. Founded in 2017, Wave has grown to become the largest financial institution in Senegal with over 7 million users across six countries. We're building financial services without account fees, instantly available, and accepted everywhere.

As a junior engineer in our team, you'll be directly embedded in a Product team focusing on online payments through Wave. You'll contribute to a full-stack codebase, including web portals built on typescript/react, backend in Python, and mobile apps using Kotlin & Swift. You'll take ownership in implementing improvements, work with our Postgres database, and help generate analytics and insights.

Recent projects include integrating with Senelec for electricity bill payments, building an app for business owners to pay employee salaries, and creating reliability systems for robust operations. You'll be part of an autonomous, cross-functional team and typically be responsible for features end-to-end.

We offer competitive salaries, generous equity packages, and benefits including subsidized health insurance, retirement contributions, 6 months of paid parental leave, flexible vacation, and more. You can work remotely from anywhere between UTC -5 and +4, and we cover travel once per year to one of our operating countries in Africa.

Join us in our mission to bring radically affordable financial services to those who need them most, and be part of a rapidly growing team passionate about making a difference in Africa's financial landscape.
