  • Help shape the local tech roadmap in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Translate local requirements into clear specs/tickets and align scope/timelines with Group sprints.
  • Own the integration backlog with Group services (LMS, APIs, data lake) and track to closure.
  • Coordinate releases and handovers with Group; test, sign off, and escalate blockers quickly.

  • Proficiency in Python, Java, or Kotlin is essential, with working knowledge of relational databases and modern web frameworks
  • Familiarity with cloud services (preferably AWS) and containerisation tools (e.g., Docker)
  • Proven ability to collaborate with remote/cross-country teams; strong written asyncronous communication.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience in fintech, lending, or working with data-heavy systems
  • Exposure to system architecture, microservices, and API design
  • Familiarity with financial integrations (e.g., credit bureaus, ID verification, payments)
  • Experience managing partner/vendor deliverables or contributing to a shared platform team.
