Senior Engineer, Merchant Experience

Flutterwave was founded on the principle that every African must be able to participate and thrive in the global economy. To achieve this objective, we have built a trusted payment infrastructure that allows consumers and businesses (African and International) make and receive payments in a convenient borderless manner.

The Role

We are looking for a UX-focused Full-Stack Engineer with heavy frontend (React/Vue) expertise to build the visual layer that merchants interact with. You will be responsible for developing the core Merchant Dashboard (analytics, settings, balances), the Checkout Modal/JS SDK, Payment Links, and Invoices. The ideal candidate will have high empathy for user conversion, web accessibility, and performance optimization, understanding that a slow checkout instantly drops conversion rates.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Design, build, and maintain the core Merchant Dashboard, including analytics, settings, and balance views
• Develop and optimize the Checkout Modal, JS SDK, Payment Links, and Invoices systems
• Ensure the visual layer and user interfaces are highly intuitive, accessible, and responsive
• Implement performance optimization strategies to ensure lightning-fast load times and seamless checkout experiences
• Collaborate with Product and Design teams to maximize user conversion rates through UX improvements
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested frontend and backend code
  
  

Required competency and skillset to be a waver:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
• 5-9 years of software engineering experience with a heavy focus on frontend frameworks like React or Vue
• Strong full-stack capabilities with an emphasis on creating exceptional user experiences
• Deep understanding of web accessibility standards (WCAG) and best practices
• Proven track record of optimizing web performance and improving conversion metrics
• Experience building scalable dashboards, checkout flows, or SDKs
• High empathy for users and a product-minded approach to engineering
