Wave recrute 01 Ingénieur développeur junior

We’re making Africa the first cashless continent.

In 2017, over half the population in Sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That’s for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash.

We’re solving this by building financial services that just work: no account fees, instantly available, and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don’t always work, you can still send money with Wave. In November 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments.
In 2019, we expanded to Cote d’Ivoire. Now, we have millions of users and are growing fast.
Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent and that’s where you come in…..

How you’ll help us achieve it

We’re looking for a junior engineer who is eager to grow their skills, good at asking for help when they’re stuck, and a strong communicator and Independent. You’ll be responsible for building and improving the ways people pay with Wave. You’ll own every step of the process, from understanding the problem to shipping your solution to users to helping the customer support team resolve problems.

Our to-do list changes constantly, but here are some recent projects:

• Allowing people to pay their electricity bills with Wave by integrating with Senelec, the national electrical utility.
• Building an app for business owners to pay their employees’ salaries using Wave.
• Letting us safely lend smartphones to thousands of taxi drivers so they can accept payments with Wave by building software to manage the phones and discourage theft.

• Wave covers travel once per year to one of our operating countries in Africa, as well as a yearly stipend of $800 to meet with coworkers nearby to your home location.
