The Opportunity
Hi, my name is Mohammed. I'm an Engineering Manager at Yassir, leading the tech teams behind our financial services channels. I’m currently hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer (React / Node.js) to join my team — someone who’s not just here to code, but to build, grow, and lead by example.
I’m building a team driven by one mindset: Best by Excellence. A team where engineers don’t just ship features — they own problems, care about craft, and push each other to grow. Where autonomy meets collaboration, and where we challenge ourselves to be better — every day. That’s why I’m not looking for someone to just write code. I’m looking for an engineer — someone who thinks, questions, learns, and builds with purpose. Someone who wants to make an impact, not just deliver tickets.
Your Profile
- You’re solid in React, Node.js, and TypeScript, but always hungry to improve.
- You care about clean code, architecture, and software design that lasts.
- You don’t wait for work — you look for what matters and make it happen.
- You think in impact, not just in tickets.
- You love to share knowledge, listen, and help others grow.
- You want to be part of a team that cares about excellence — technically and humanly.
Tech Stack
- React (hooks), Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, REST/GraphQL, Docker, CI/CD
- Bonus: Clean Architecture, Domain-Driven Design (software architecture), SOLID principles, Testing (Jest / Cypress), Redis, AWS/GCP, Java (for backend interoperability or legacy systems)
Why you should join Yassir
- You will be part of one of the first Algerian startups to go through the Y Combinator program and one of the fastest-growing tech companies in North Africa.
- We are current in +30 cities (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal, France and Germany).
- Attractive salary and you even get a stake in the company.
- Subsidized public transit pass.
- Have a lasting impact on our company's culture.
- Perfect timing with renowned investors to build something great.
- Extremely steep learning curve with own responsibility and intensive guidance.
- Make a real impact on the world by helping us bring affordable financial and on-demand services to millions of Africans.
At Yassir, we believe in the power of diversity and the importance of an inclusive culture. So, if you're ready to bring your unique perspective and experiences to the table, then we're excited to listen.
Don't just apply for a job, come and be a part of our journey. Let's create a better tomorrow together.
