Our MissionJoin us in our vision to transform Africa into the world's first cashless continent.In 2017, over 50% of the Sub-Saharan African population lacked access to banking services, primarily due to exorbitant fees, the distance to branches, and the limited acceptance of cards. This has led many individuals to hoard cash, while small businesses struggle with high-interest loans. Parents often spend valuable time queuing to pay school fees in cash.We aim to change this dynamic by developing seamless financial services that are fee-free, readily accessible, and widely accepted. Our innovative platform allows users to send money, even in areas with unreliable utilities and infrastructure. Since launching our mobile app in Senegal in 2017, we have expanded to serve millions across nine countries, and our growth trajectory is accelerating.Your expertise will play a pivotal role in making our mission a reality!Your Role in Our MissionAs the largest financial institution in Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire, Wave is rapidly increasing its user base year after year.

You will be responsible for enhancing the payment experiences of our users, from identifying challenges to implementing solutions and providing support to our customer support team.By enabling millions in West Africa to access essential financial services via mobile money, we recognize that exemplary customer support is vital. We envision a future where technology handles routine tasks, allowing our human teams to focus on meaningful interactions that require creativity and empathy.Here are some of our recent initiatives:Enabling payments through the Wave app for in-store purchases.Integrating with utility companies to allow bill payments through Wave.Creating an app for business owners to manage employee salaries using Wave.Facilitating transportation payments for taxis, trains, and buses.We work with a diverse tech stack (familiarity is a plus but not mandatory):Backend: Python 3 (+ mypy)API layer: GraphQLFrontend: ReactDatabase: Postgres
