Full Job Description

Who we are Moniepoint Inc. is Africa's all-in-one financial platform, helping 20 million businesses and individuals access seamless payments, banking, credit, cross-border, and business management tools each month. As Nigeria's largest merchant acquirer, we power most of the country's point-of-sale (POS) transactions. Through our subsidiaries, Moniepoint Inc. processes over $250 billion in digital payment transaction value annually. About the role More than 6 million businesses run their financial lives through Moniepoint — and the primary way they interact with us every single day is through a POS device. For most of our merchants, that device is their business. It is how they accept payments, how they access credit, and how they track their finances. Everything those devices are capable of, in terms of speed, reliability, and developer quality, flows from the engineering platform this role leads. We are building a dedicated POS Application Platform function: the foundational engineering layer that sits beneath every POS product at Moniepoint. Think of it as the operating system for our POS engineering organisation — the standards, frameworks, tooling, and architectural backbone that every POS engineer across the business builds on top of. This is not a feature team. It is a platform team in the truest sense, and the Head of Engineering for POS Application Platform is the technical owner of that layer. We currently operate across approximately five POS device types from multiple OEM manufacturers, all running on Android. The engineering challenges here span device governance, developer experience, platform reliability, foundational frameworks, and adoption across a distributed set of POS engineers working in separate product squads. And the scope is only growing. We have a UK entity live, a cross-border payments product in market, and a microfinance bank acquisition finalizing in Kenya. The platform you build will become the foundation for tens of millions of busin
