About the role
Moniepoint is seeking a Head of Engineering to lead its Field Verification platform, the system that verifies the individuals and businesses on its platform as part of KYC. The platform coordinates physical, in-person checks and serves onboarding, loans, compliance, and fraud teams. It currently comprises a back office, a mobile-friendly web app for Field Verification Officers, an API layer with webhooks, and an assignment algorithm.
This is a greenfield leadership mandate on a system that already carries real weight for the business. The domain has never had a dedicated engineering leader, and the team is a lean cross-functional squad. The role offers the opportunity to set technical direction, move the platform from keep-the-lights-on mode to deliberate development, and build for multi-country expansion.
