CTO / Head of Engineering (FinTech)

Kanzum is building the infrastructure for international business payments. We help companies move money globally through local payment rails, virtual accounts, FX and treasury infrastructure. Our clients operate across Africa, MENA, Europe and Asia, and we are building financial infrastructure that removes friction from international commerce.

We're now entering the next stage of growth. To get there, we need to bring engineering fully in-house and build a world-class product organization. This is an opportunity to rebuild engineering, own the technical vision, and become one of the key leaders shaping the company's future.
