  • Published microservices architectures supporting native mobile apps.
  • Familiar with source-control management (Git & Github).
  • Prior experience in working with Scrum and/or Agile methodologies.
  • Experience with unit testing & test automation frameworks for backend/API development.
  • Strong competencies in data structures, algorithms and software design.
  • Strong command of English language, both verbal and written a must.
Why you'll love working here
  • Startup environment that’s big on individual responsibility and leans on process and automation.

  • You will be learning and growing all of the time. From business, product, design to engineering you will be learning from a world-class team that is caring, kind, and empathetic.‍
  • Mamo has the potential for a wide-reaching impact. Mamo is taking on the challenge of bringing about a new era of financial inclusion that begins close to home by providing access and experiences that make sense. That means you will never be bored.
