Senior Full Stack Engineer

About LUO

Luo is one of the fastest-growing FX and cross-border payments companies in Africa. We help African businesses pay their international suppliers faster, more transparently, and more competitively than traditional solutions.

After becoming a leading player in a few markets in record time, we are looking to grow our engineering team and keep building the financial infrastructure for FX and cross-border payments in Africa.

Role Overview

You will join a small team of experienced engineers and contribute to a diverse range of internal tools and customer-facing products. Your solutions will help grow and run a payment infrastructure that processes millions of euros of transactions per day.

This role requires a customer-centric mindset and the ability to communicate clearly with both engineers and non-engineers in order to reach sound technical solutions.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Ship products to customers and internal teams (payment operations, treasury management, FX trading, compliance).

• Build React web applications.

• Design intuitive user interface.

• Design and implement APIs in Golang.

• Leverage AI-driven development practices.

• Be in touch with stakeholders, founders and business realities.

• Use of AI to perform OCR and approve invoices.

• KYC onboarding flows.

• Anti-Money Laundering and Transaction Monitoring systems.

• Core Banking System and Ledger System.

• Payout automations with banking partners.

• TECH STACK

• When hiring, we favor engineering skills over any particular stack.

• We also prefer to use the right tool at the right place rather than fall in love with any specific technology.

• For reference, this is what we use the most as of today:

• React, Typescript, Golang, Postgres, Docker, Gitlab, GCP, Cloudflare

• START DATE
