Senior Endpoint Engineer
Role Summary
Join Wave as a Senior Endpoint Engineer in London and help revolutionize financial services in Africa. Contribute to managing endpoint solutions in a fast-growing environment.
About the Organisation
We're making Africa the first cashless continent.
In 2017, over half the population in Sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That's for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash.
We're solving this by building financial services that just work: no account fees, instantly available, and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don't always work, you can still send money with Wave. In 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments. Now, we have millions of users across 9 countries and are growing fast.
Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent and that's where you come in...
- We have a rapidly growing in-country team in Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Burkina Faso, The Gambia, Uganda, Niger, Sierra Leone, and Cameroon plus remote team members spread across the world.
- We're deeply passionate about our mission of bringing radically affordable financial services to the people who need them most.
- We foster autonomy for our employees. You'll own your projects at every stage, from understanding the problem to monitoring your solution in production.
- We raised the largest Series A in Africa in 2021. Our world-class investors, include Founders Fund, Sequoia Heritage, Stripe, Ribbit Capital, Y Combinator, and Partech Africa.
- We are on Y Combinator's top companies by revenue.
Minimum Requirements
- BA in Computer Science, Economics, Data Analytics, or equivalent experience in the required field.
- 5+ years in endpoint engineering or systems engineering with hands-on ownership of multi-platform fleets at scale.
- Demonstrated strong understanding of two out of the following:
- ChromeOS fleet management via Google Workspace Admin Console (device policy, org unit design, forced installs, Context-Aware Access).
- Deep macOS expertise: Jamf administration, macOS internals, configuration profiles, extension attributes, scripting (Bash, Python, or Swift).
- Android MDM experience: enterprise enrollment, policy enforcement, and management via Android Enterprise (EMM/MDM platforms)
- Linux endpoint management experience: package management, configuration tooling (Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or similar), and hardening
- Windows/Intune experience is not required, but can be considered applicable if enough strength in our existing device fleet is demonstrated.
- Strong understanding of endpoint security principles: EDR integration, compliance baselines (CIS, SOC2), certificate management, and disk encryption enforcement.
- Familiarity with identity and access tooling as it touches endpoints: SSO, certificate-based auth, conditional access policies (Okta or equivalent).
- Scripting and automation capability sufficient to build reliable deployment pipelines and reduce manual operational work.
- Fleet reporting and observability, meaning you can tell leadership the compliance posture of the fleet at any time.
