Company Description
MaxAB is re-engineering Africa's informal retail sector through a B2B e-commerce and fintech super app. Since launching in 2018, we've connected over 150,000 traditional retailers with suppliers, delivering 2.5+ million orders across Egypt and Morocco. Our fintech business now generates more revenue than e-commerce, with over $180 million in sales last year. Following our merger with Wasoko, we're expanding across Sub-Saharan Africa.

- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (Product, DevOps, Business) to align technical solutions with business objectives.
- Identify, evaluate, and introduce new technologies, tools, and frameworks to improve system quality, reliability, and team productivity.
- Diagnose and resolve critical production issues, ensuring system stability, performance, and high availability.
- Drive continuous improvement by addressing technical debt and enhancing the long-term health of the codebase.
- Contribute to and influence engineering processes, standards, and culture across the organization.
