📋 Description

• Lead by technical example — your influence comes from the quality of your work, your judgment and your ability to bring others along with you, not from authority. • Own technical direction within your team and workstream, collaborating closely with principal engineers and the Head of Engineering to align with broader architectural strategy. • Mentor senior engineers through pairing, code reviews and design discussions — raising the technical floor of the people around you. • Champion engineering best practices across the team, introducing standards and patterns that improve consistency, reliability and developer experience. • Act as a subject matter expert in your core technical domain, and be the person others turn to when the problem is hard. • Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-stakeholder projects — from scoping and design through to deployment, feedback and iteration. • Translate ambiguous problem spaces into clear technical plans, breaking down large initiatives into well-defined milestones that the team can execute against. • Manage delivery dependencies across teams and communicate progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Drive a culture of outcome-oriented delivery within your workstream — focused on impact shipped, not activity completed. • Proactively identify and remove blockers before they slow the team down. • Take ownership of the reliability and observability of systems within your domain — ensuring they are monitored, well-understood and resilient to failure. • Handle production incidents with confidence, leading postmortems that result in genuine process improvements rather than just documentation. • Set the standard for what good operational practice looks like within your team — monitoring, alerting, runbooks and on-call hygiene. • Contribute to company-wide reliability initiatives led by principal engineers and the Head of Engineering. • Make and defend strong architectural decisions within your workstream, balancing pragmatism with long-term technical health. • Write production-quality code consistently — this is a fully IC role and hands-on technical contribution is expected at all times. • Drive scalability, modularity and performance improvements in the areas of the codebase you own. • Champion code quality through rigorous testing, thoughtful documentation and constructive code reviews that develop the engineers around you. • Proactively identify technical debt and lead initiatives to address it before it compounds. • Communicate internally and externally about new features, be it collecting feedback pre-implementation or explaining them on launch.

🎯 Requirements

• A product mindset is core to how we build - everyone at Capi is encouraged to think about the customer, the business, and the long-term impact of what we ship. • A strong understanding of web development, frontend and backend best practices. While mainly working with JavaScript technologies. • Experience in a VC-backed or high-growth engineering team and building products used by customers. • You are comfortable working in an early-stage startup environment with high pace, rapid growth, involvement in the entire product development process, and a high degree of ambiguity. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for expressing ideas, designs, and potential solutions with both technical and non-technical team members and customers. • You care about our mission and solving the problems faced by African businesses. • Bonus points if you: • Speak and write in French & English. • Experience in Fintech, payments, wallets or building ledgers. • Expertise in security and data protection best practices needed in a FCA regulated business.
