Luno Backend Software Engineer Jobs in South Africa
Luno Backend Software Engineer Jobs in South Africa
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.
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.
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.
In your first six months, you will:
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.
Your mission will involve:
Build distributed microservices that are accessed by 2.5m customers from across the globe.
Design, build and maintain advanced applications services.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.
Write testable, maintainable code for robustness and reliability.
Work on bug fixing and
improving application performance.
Write code that directly affects users, the company and the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The ideal candidate for this role will have:
A passion for blockchain and cryptocurrencies (this is a new industry so we’ll help you learn about how the blockchain works and the technicals).
A proven background in computer science in areas such as algorithms, data structures, and software design.
Extensive programming experience in at least one language such as Go, Java, C++, C#, Python, etc.
A continuous improvement mindset.
BSc/MSc/PhD in computer science or other technical discipline, or equivalent working experience
A passion for software development, mobile technology and Bitcoin
To be friendly, transparent, articulate and driven to succeed
A work permit for South Africa if you are not a South African citizen
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.
