Endpoint Engineer

Our mission

We're making Africa the first cashless continent.

In 2017, over half the population in Sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That's for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash.

We're solving this by building financial services that just work: no account fees, instantly available, and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don't always work, you can still send money with Wave. In 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments. Now, we have millions of users across 9 countries and are growing fast.

Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent and that's where you come in...

Role Specificities

We’re looking for an engineer who is independent and excited about getting things done. You'll be responsible for building and improving the enterprise endpoint infrastructure and have ownership of the service and its impact on employee productivity at Wave. You will own the entire endpoint stack and be responsible for administration of all enterprise infrastructure, planning and implementation of systems as we rapidly scale our business.

In this role you’ll:

• Join an autonomous team focused on a single area of Wave’s IT org. You will report directly to the IT Director. Typically, you'll be responsible for endpoint Infrastructure end-to-end, from design through deployment and maintenance.
• You will be joining at a time of transformation, in the IT organisation evolving from a flat team structure to areas of skilled ownership.
• Along with the business growing at a pace, taking ownership of projects and business needs such as:
  • Design, build, implement, and maintain scalable and performant endpoint management infrastructure to facilitate best-in-class security of the Wave fleet comprising macOS, ChromeOS, Windows, iOS, and Android endpoints.
  • Deliver critical endpoint management efficiencies and capabilities through bespoke software development and implementation of both industry-standard open source tooling and first-party software solutions.
  • Employ modern Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) methodologies, develop GitOps-driven solutions to deliver consensus-based fleet management capabilities at scale.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for fleet management infrastructure, deploying to progressively tested environments across multiple clouds (Azure, GCP) and geographies (Africa and global remote workforce).
  • Drive initiatives to adopt emerging technologies, industry best practices, and optimise processes for scalability and operational efficiency.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless endpoint user experiences while maintaining strict security standards and continually increasing the bar.

Key Details

• This is a fully remote role. Candidates must be based in one of our talent hub countries (UK, Spain, USA, Canada, Kenya and Ghana) or in one of our operating markets in Africa including Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, or Burkina Faso. Your working hours must align with GMT +/- 1, with reliable Internet access as long as you have work authorization.
• Every year, you’ll travel to Africa for a one-week immersion trip. (Wave covers all costs.)
• Our salaries are competitive and are calculated using a transparent formula. For this role, depending on your experience level and location, we are offering a salary range of $133,100 to $194,200 USD (paid in your local currency).
