About Juicyway

Juicyway exists to do one thing: give Africans equal access to the global market.

We believe Africa's growth depends on tearing down the walls around payments, currency access, and liquidity. So that's what we're building — a payments company designed for speed, scale, and impact.

We're not a traditional company (and don't want to be). We move fast, we ask bold questions, and we expect everyone here to think like an owner. If you're looking for a place where your work has visible, direct impact and you're trusted with big opportunities, you'll fit right in.

We're guided by six values that shape how we work every day:

• Love → Care deeply about customers, colleagues, and the work.
• Curiosity → Ask questions, learn constantly, never stop improving.
• Ownership → Take initiative, own the wins and the lessons.
• Risk-taking → Be bold, test ideas, and back yourself.
• Transparency → Share openly, earn trust, and keep it real.
• Excellence → Hold a high bar in everything we deliver.

If this feels like your kind of environment, you'll feel at home here.

What We're Building

Juicyway is building the rails for Africa's participation in the global economy. Our core product is a cross-border payments and FX platform that helps businesses:

• Collect funds in local currencies or FX through multi-currency accounts.
• Convert seamlessly between fiat, stablecoins, and crypto with deep liquidity.
• Pay out globally with speed and transparency, whether to vendors, partners, or employees.
• Trade FX at preferred rates through our open order book.

For engineers, this means solving hard technical problems:

• Designing APIs that can handle real transaction volumes with reliability and security.
• Building systems that support real-time currency conversions and settlements.
• Scaling services across multiple markets and currencies, with resilience to handle volatility.
• Creating infrastructure that balances compliance and performance in one of the fastest-moving industries in the world.

We've already processed over $2bn in transactions, we're live in 6 countries, and we're backed by licenses in Nigeria, the US, Canada, and the UK. The next chapter is about scale — and that's where you come in.

About the Role

As a Backend Engineer, you'll be a core part of the team building the infrastructure that powers Juicyway's payments engine.

You'll own projects from design to production, turning fast-moving requirements into clean, secure, and scalable code. You'll collaborate closely with your team, perform QA on your own work, write automated tests, and participate in code reviews to keep our standards high.

This isn't just about writing code — it's about building the backbone of a payments platform that millions could one day rely on.

• Own projects from design through development to production.
• Translate fast-moving product requirements into clear engineering tasks.
• Write clean, readable, performant, secure, and well-documented code.
• Debug issues across the application and proactively identify root causes.
• Use data, logging, and metrics to spot and fix performance issues.
• Perform QA on your own work, write automated tests, and optimize your code.
• Participate in code reviews to maintain standards while iterating quickly.
• Collaborate with high-performing, cross-functional teams.

• 2+ years of professional engineering experience.
• Experience in functional, object-oriented, or imperative programming languages (Elixir, Go, Ruby, Rust are strong signals).
• Experience building medium to large-scale web applications in fast-paced environments.
• Strong relational database and SQL skills (we use PostgreSQL).
• Proven ability to build reliable, scalable APIs from scratch — including abstractions, authentication, and integrations.
• Pride in your craft — you care deeply about the products powered by your services.
• Smarts, humility, and strong communication skills — equal willingness to teach and learn.
• A builder's mindset — you don't just fix problems, you improve systems and culture.

Why Join Juicyway?

Juicyway is at an inflection point. We've already processed over $2bn in transactions, we're live in 6 countries, and we hold licenses across Nigeria, the US, Canada, and the UK. The foundations are in place — and now we're scaling fast.

As a Backend Engineer, you'll:

• Build and scale systems that power payments for businesses across Africa and beyond.
• Work directly on technical challenges that define our industry — from high-performance APIs to global transaction flows.
• Grow with a bold, ambitious company on a mission to open global markets to Africans everywhere.
• Be trusted with real ownership and impact from day one.

Joining now means stepping onto the rocketship as it takes off — and shaping how Juicyway grows and scales for years to come.

Perks & Benefits

• Competitive Compensation
• Unlimited PTO.
• Generous parental leave.
• A culture that listens, celebrates wins, and trusts you to do your best work.
