Head of Engineering, Supply Chain

Job description

About this role

Who We Are Moniepoint Inc. is Africa’s all-in-one financial platform, helping 20 million businesses and individuals access seamless payments, banking, credit, cross-border, and business management tools each month. As Nigeria’s largest merchant acquirer, we power most of the country’s point-of-sale (POS) transactions.

Responsibilities

• - Owning the technical strategy and architecture for inventory and logistics tools and repair management software.
• - Leading an engineering organisation of approximately 25 engineers, including managers, QA, SRE and Data Engineering.
• - Driving platformisation of inventory and supply chain systems so operational data is visible, trustworthy and consistent across millions of terminals.
• - Bridging the gap between operational practice and software systems by building operationally disciplined solutions.
• - Defining architecture standards, engineering processes and quality metrics across squads to ensure reliability and data integrity.

Qualifications and requirements

• - 10–15 years of overall software engineering experience, with at least 5 years leading engineering teams through growth phases.
• - 5+ years of hands-on, production-level experience writing and shipping Java code as a practising engineer. This means years spent writing Java yourself, not years spent overseeing teams who write it.
• - At least 5 years of experience managing managers - leading an engineering organisation through other engineering leaders, rather than running a single team.
• - Deep hands-on experience in supply chain, inventory, warehouse or logistics software at scale.
• - Fintech or regulated-industry experience, with an understanding of the operational stakes of device management in a payments environment.
