About DAZU Pay
DAZU is focused on building a leading edge platform supporting consumer and business payments in the Middle East & Africa.

The team is currently 12 engineers and is growing fast.
You will be expected to know Laravel, Django/Python, NodeJS, React and React Native and must have experience using web scraping, AI, DevOps and producing clean, documented public APIs. Even better if you have used blockchain/Web3 apps and built things on Polygon and other blockchains.
