We hire senior. We pay benchmarked to global bands. We expect — and reward — engineers who treat critical systems with the seriousness they deserve.
Where you'd work
Three hubs. Never the same city twice.
Lagos Hub
00:00 – 08:00 UTC
Core engineering density. Serves Nigeria and the wider African market directly.
EU Hub
08:00 – 16:00 UTC
European client proximity. GDPR-scoped delivery.
US Hub
16:00 – 24:00 UTC
Americas client proximity. HIPAA-scoped delivery where in scope.

Why SOAVM Tech
You'd be working on the systems a client's board asks about by name — core ledgers, payment switches, the estate that isn't allowed a bad day. Eight practice lines, three staffed hubs, and one four-phase gate that applies to your work exactly the way it applies to everyone else's. No parent company sets the bar from somewhere else. We set it here, and you're expected to hold it.
Values
The Values of our Culture
Six things everyone on this team has already agreed to, before you interview.
View Open RolesCraft Over Speed
Fragile velocity is debt with extra steps. We optimise for durable, owned-by-someone code.
The Operator's View
Whoever holds the pager at 2am is our real customer. Their experience is the honest review.
Docs Are Engineering
An ADR, a runbook, a handover doc — first-class deliverables, not afterthoughts future-you pays for.
Diversity, Operationalised
Engineering, security, and AI teams are intentionally diverse — different problem-solving styles catch different bugs.
Africa Is a Hub
We ship to two continents from Lagos and pay accordingly. Talent is global; opportunity should be too.
Evidence Over Assertion
A gate passed on assertion has not been passed. Every figure we publish carries the window it was measured in.
What engineers get
Not perks. Structure.
We fuel bold ideas, driving them forward with sharp strategy
Senior-Weighted by Design
Every practice line is built around senior specialists and named leads, not a bench of juniors learning on client time.
Gate Ownership, Not Tenure
Growth is tracked against what you're trusted to sign off — a Design gate, a declared failover — not years in the seat.
Global Pay Bands
Compensation is benchmarked to global engineering rates for your hub, not flattened to whatever the local market will accept.
Documentation Is Engineering
An ADR, a runbook, a handover doc are deliverables you're paid for — not overhead you do after the real work is done.

No open roles right now
We hire when a practice needs a named senior specialist, not to keep a bench full — so there are stretches with nothing posted. If you'd hold the bar described above, send a short note and your CV; we keep it on file and write when a matching role opens.
