Yassir is hiring a Senior Back-end Engineer "Node j.s"

About the Role

Shape the future of scalable backend systems as a Senior Back-end Engineer focused on Node.js. You'll lead the design and implementation of high-performance microservices that power a rapidly expanding technology platform serving users across multiple African countries.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and maintain robust, scalable server-side applications using Node.js and modern frameworks like Express.js and Nest.js.
  • Design and refine microservice architectures, ensuring systems are efficient, maintainable, and aligned with long-term goals.
  • Improve code integrity through rigorous testing, automation, and peer review processes.
  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to translate user needs into reliable technical implementations.
  • Engage in technical problem-solving to deliver complex features on schedule and at scale.
  • Contribute to infrastructure decisions involving Docker, Kubernetes, Redis, and load-balanced environments.

What We're Looking For

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • At least four years of hands-on experience building backend systems in Node.js.
  • Strong grasp of object-oriented programming and software design principles—writing code that’s reusable, extensible, and maintainable.
  • Experience with RESTful APIs, MongoDB, Git, and containerization technologies.
  • Familiarity with HTTPS, digital signing, caching strategies, and system administration in scalable environments.
  • Ability to thrive in fast-moving, entrepreneurial settings with minimal oversight.

Why This Matters

You’ll help build foundational systems for one of North Africa’s fastest-growing tech platforms, currently active in over 60 cities. Your work will directly support affordable financial and on-demand services across Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Senegal.

The role offers competitive compensation, equity participation, and access to a steep learning curve supported by mentorship and autonomy. You're not just joining a team—you're helping define its culture and long-term impact.

We value diverse perspectives and foster an inclusive environment where unique experiences drive innovation. If you're ready to contribute meaningfully and grow alongside a forward-thinking engineering team, this is your opportunity.
