You will work across services such as payments processing, transfers, refunds, and merchant banking, designing robust contract, integration, end-to-end, and performance tests that run in our deployment pipelines and gate releases.
Your voice will be heard and your work will have direct, measurable impact on the reliability of payments across Africa.
