Senior Frontend Engineer

Andela is an American company with operational campuses in Africa, including Nigeria, Ghana & Kenya that identifies and develops software developers. 
The company launched operations in Nigeria in 2014, to help global companies overcome the severe shortage of skilled software developers and has offices in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and the United States.

Andela’s mission is to advance human potential by powering today’s teams and investing in tomorrow’s leaders.

Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz wrote:&nbsp;“software is eating the world.” That statement is just as true today as it was eight years ago.&nbsp; Software is embedded in our day-to-day, and few industries are immune.&nbsp; Peek behind the code and you will find brilliant engineers pushing the boundaries of what is possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Talk to any engineering leader and they will tell you that access to talent is their number one barrier to building software and growing their business. Research the industry and you read about the 1 million computer-programming jobs that will go unfilled in 2020.&nbsp;

That is where Andela comes in. We help engineering leaders at companies big and small bridge that gap. We are building tools, systems and processes to connect talent, no matter where they live, with the opportunities to do great things. To date, we have cultivated 1,000+ software engineers from Emerging Markets and placed them as full-time, embedded members of development teams at over 200+ tech companies. Along the way, we have raised $180M from Al Gore’s venture fund, Generation Partners, Google Ventures, Spark Capital, the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative and Serena Ventures.&nbsp;

All of our people live and breathe our E.P.I.C values:

In this role, you will work as a Senior Backend Engineer within the Technology organization, building world-class internal and customer facing products to support Andela’s business needs.

Our Andelan Senior Software Engineers epitomize ownership. They take personal responsibility for Andela’s ability to continue to deliver value and build products that are key to helping Andela grow and scale as an organization.

Specifically, you’ll:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

A&nbsp;minimum of 5 years of professional experience, during which you’ve built deep technical expertise and&nbsp;exercised ownership&nbsp;on various technical teams.

Expertise&nbsp;with&nbsp;the following specific tools:

We are building advanced applications using modern tools and technologies. Our platform is Node based.&nbsp; On the backend we have a multi-tier architecture, utilizing PostgreSQL, NestJs, GraphQL, and Typescript. On the frontend we use Angular 10. The platform is deployed to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), using a modern CI/CD pipeline (Docker, Kubernetes, CircleCI, CodeClimate).&nbsp;

Senior Backend Engineer

Luno is a leading global cryptocurrency company with over 5 million customers in 40 countries and a team of over 350. Headquartered in London, Luno operates across Africa, South East Asia and Europe.

Luno's products and services make it safe and easy to buy, store and learn about cryptocurrencies.

We are looking for a&nbsp;Web Frontend Software Engineer&nbsp;to join our Engineering team in&nbsp;Johannesburg.&nbsp;

The world is changing. We all want something different. At Luno, we see you as individuals.&nbsp;

Together, we are upgrading the world of work to unleash the potential within and empower you to become the best possible version of yourself.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Upgrading the entire planet to a&nbsp;new financial system&nbsp;is a challenge of epic proportions. Like the first moon landing, it requires a special kind of people&nbsp;working together&nbsp;with unusual skill, focus and determination. We’re changing the financial landscape, and to do so, well we need the best team on board for our mission. In short, to achieve our goals, we need rockstars. As simple as that.

Our engineering team (currently ~100 engineers) is split into organisations which we call Fleets. Each Fleet focuses on a core customer journey (onboarding, security, payments, support, new business, growth and marketing etc.). Each of these fleets contains multiple smaller teams called Pods, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the product.&nbsp;

Pods will include a product owner, product designer, back-end engineers, Android, iOS and Web developers, who each bring a unique perspective to the problem you are all contributing towards.&nbsp;

We're agile, use scrum, continuous integration and continuous delivery, deploying to production every single day.

We're building teams to help us succeed in our mission to upgrade the world to a better financial system. You’ll be joining a group of highly motivated software engineers who you’ll work collaboratively with across our pods.

As a fast-growing company with offices around the world, you’ll immediately see how your contributions directly impact both our internal users and client experience. Many of the problems we are solving result in trail blazing solutions which can’t be found on Stack Overflow; so we’re looking for engineers who flourish working in a complex domain.

...start at Luno by learning our processes, meeting the wider team and starting our engineering on-boarding program. After getting comfortable with the basics, you'll start learning our idiomatic patterns in a safe, easy-to-follow way - by building your own toy micro services. You'll get to practice how we do design docs, code reviews, deployments, events, logging and monitoring.

You’ll meet the Pod(s) you’ll be working with and quickly align on the teams’ current OKRs and product roadmap. We succeed as a team, so we will provide you with regular feedback from your manager and peers and will encourage you to do the same.

The ideal candidate for this role will have:

Don’t be put off if you don’t tick all of the boxes – they’re a guide based on what we’d love to see but we appreciate that excellent software engineers have diverse backgrounds.

If you’re looking to work on something truly global and disruptive with a forward-thinking and ambitious team that highly values diversity, teamwork, and the continuous quest for excellence, then this is an opportunity for you.

Like the majority of the companies, Luno is currently working remotely to keep our employees safe, which means you will not be physically, but virtually onboarded for now!

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. You'll need to hold the legal right to work in South Africa already as we cannot provide visa sponsorship.&nbsp;
