Job Description

  • Application Deadline:
  • Position: Software Engineer (Ruby, Ruby on Rails)


  • Job Type Full Time


  • Qualification BA/BSc/HND


  • Experience 3 - 5 years


  • Location Nigeria



  • Job Field ICT / Computer 









About the Role




  • We're hiring a Mid-Level Rails Engineer to work on RAMP, our on-ramp/off-ramp product that helps users move money in and out of crypto. 

  • You'll join a focused team working on the flows that matter most: deposits, withdrawals, partner integrations, and reconciliation. 

  • It's a great role for an engineer who's ready to go deeper, take real ownership, and grow fast in a fintech environment.



What You’ll Be Owning



Learn & Contribute:




  • First 30 days: Get across the RAMP codebase, understand the core flows, and ship your first meaningful fix.

  • By month 3: Own specific features or flows end to end, with support from the team where needed.

  • By month 6: Independently investigate and resolve reliability issues across deposits, withdrawals, and partner callbacks.



Reliability & Code Quality:




  • Reduce recurring issues: stuck transactions, failed callbacks, unclear states, and manual escalations.

  • Improve test coverage across critical flows and leave every area you touch cleaner than you found it.

  • Add observability where it's weak: better logging, alerts, and debugging hooks.



Team & Growth:




  • Participate in code reviews, share what you learn, and support engineers around you.

  • Grow your understanding of transaction-heavy systems: idempotency, retries, state machines, and reconciliation.



Biggest Challenges You’ll Tackle:




  • Working on backend systems where failures have real customer impact.

  • Debugging complex, transaction-heavy flows that aren't always well documented.

  • Balancing new feature work with improving the stability of existing systems.

  • Learning fintech and crypto infrastructure concepts on the job and applying them quickly.



What We’re Looking For



Must-haves:




  • 3 to 5 years of Rails backend experience in production environments.

  • You write clean code, debug with patience, and care about how your work affects real users.

  • Comfortable with APIs, background jobs, database design, testing, and debugging.

  • Methodical debugger: you trace flows, read logs, and find the real root cause.

  • You improve code incrementally without defaulting to a full rewrite.

  • Bonus: Experience in fintech, payments, crypto, or on-ramp/off-ramp products.



Nice to haves:




  • Familiarity with transaction concepts: idempotency, retries, reconciliation, state machines.

  • Experience working in a remote startup environment.

  • Any exposure to crypto exchanges, payment providers, or bank integrations.
