About Strivo Labs

Strivo Labs is a technology and digital transformation company that designs and builds scalable digital platforms, automation systems, and AI-driven solutions for businesses across Africa and global markets. We work with organizations across financial services, fintech, and core banking environments to design and implement modern digital infrastructure.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Java Backend Developer to join our engineering team in building high-performance embedded financial infrastructure. You will be responsible for architecting and implementing the "engine" behind a new digital lending and payment ecosystem. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys complex logic, API-first design, and building systems that handle high-volume financial transactions with "bank-grade" security.

Key Responsibilities

• Core Engine Development: Design and build robust, scalable back-end services using Java to power embedded financial products.
• API Architecture: Lead the development of RESTful APIs that enable seamless integration between our platform, merchants, and third-party financial service providers.
• Financial Logic: Implement complex modules for settlement, automated reconciliation, and repayment tracking.
• System Integration: Integrate with identity verification services and payment gateways to ensure a secure and automated user lifecycle.
• Security & Scalability: Ensure the platform is designed for high availability, low latency, and full data encryption.

Required Skills & Experience

• Expert Java Knowledge: 5+ years of professional experience building enterprise-grade applications in Java.
• Fintech Experience: Prior experience in lending, digital wallets, or payment switch environments is highly preferred.
• Integration Expertise: Proven track record of working with complex 3rd party APIs and managing technical edge cases.
• Database & Security: Strong understanding of relational databases and modern security protocols (OAuth, JWT, etc.).
• Problem Solving: Ability to translate complex business rules into clean, maintainable technical specifications.

What Success Looks Like

• First 3 Months: Successfully deliver the core API modules and integrate primary financial service providers.
• First 6 Months: Launch a stable sandbox environment for merchant testing and support the initial production pilot.

Why Join Strivo Labs

• Work on high-impact digital transformation projects in the financial sector.
• Collaborate with a team of experienced architects and product leaders.
• Help shape the infrastructure powering modern financial systems in Africa.
