Job descriptionWe’re looking for a Software Engineer (PHP) to join our Financial Services Engineering Team — a group of innovative developers building scalable, secure, and high-performing solutions that power Mukuru’s products. As a Senior Engineer, you’ll design, develop, and deliver features that impact customers across Africa. You’ll take ownership of complex projects, mentor teammates, and shape the technical direction of our platforms. This is your chance to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your code creates real-world impact every single day. Write high-quality, maintainable code that sets the standard for engineering excellence. Design and implement medium-to-large features using modern PHP frameworks and open-source technologies.

Engage in code reviews, sprint planning, and retrospectives to drive improvements in performance and process. Contribute to our evolving microservices architecture and help integrate new tools, frameworks, and cloud technologies. Ensure code reliability through robust testing, continuous integration, and deployment pipelines. Manage databases, perform migrations, and ensure smooth data transformations. Optimize performance, scalability, and maintainability across platforms. 7+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, with strong expertise in PHP. Proven experience with PHP frameworks (e.g., Laravel, Symfony) and open-source technologies. Hands-on experience with Docker for building, testing, and deploying applications. Strong understanding of database management (data migration, transformation, and scripting). Experience with modern Git workflows, code reviews, and CI / CD pipelines. Strong knowledge of web application architecture, OOP, and SOLID design principles. Experience with RESTful APIs and microservices architecture. Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS preferred). Experience working in Agile (Scrum / Kanban) teams. Degree or diploma in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field. Understanding of accounting principles and financial systems. Experience mentoring or leading small technical teams. Knowledge of test automation and DevOps practices. Exposure to fintech systems or regulated environments. A problem-solver who loves tackling complex technical challenges. A team player who believes great products are built through collaboration. A mentor and leader, passionate about uplifting others through knowledge sharing. Adaptable, curious, and excited about learning new tools and technologies. Driven by impact — you want your work to make a real difference. ICT jobs
