About Luo

• Product builder and customer-centric mindset.

• Excellent written and verbal communication.

• Ability to navigate trade-offs and balance effort vs impact.

Systems built at Luo

• Payment platform for businesses in Africa.

• KYC onboarding flows.

• Anti-Money Laundering and Transaction Monitoring systems.

• Core Banking System and Ledger System.

• Payout automations with banking partners.

Tech stack

When hiring, we favor engineering skills over any particular stack.

We also prefer to use the right tool at the right place rather than fall in love with any specific technology.

For reference, this is what we use the most as of today:

React, Typescript, Golang, Postgres, Docker, Gitlab, GCP, Cloudflare
