About Us

We are building the future of banking in Africa.

Today, less than 30% of African consumers have access to adequate banking services. While mobile money has emerged as the primary means of consumer finance due to its superior accessibility and lower costs, it does not offer the financial services that create wealth and financing opportunities, which are essential pillars of long-term financial stability.

Our mission is to make banking radically more accessible and affordable, to enable millions of people across the continent to build a stronger, more secure future.

In November 2020, we launched a revolutionary financial app that offers a full range of services, including payments, transfers, savings, and investments.

To date, Djamo has given one million users in Ivory Coast and Senegal access to radically cheaper and better financial services, and our rapid growth continues unabated.

We are proud to have secured the support of world-class investors, including Y Combinator, Partech, Janngo Capital, Enza Capital, and Oikocredit, underlining our potential and commitment to reshape the financial services landscape in Africa.

To support the launch and growth of our activities in Djamo Entities, we are looking for a Test Automation Engineer.

About the Role

Are you passionate about building robust test automation frameworks from the ground up? Do you thrive in environments where your expertise shapes the future of quality engineering? We’re looking for a Test Automation Engineer to help us scale and automate testing for our APIs (Node.js/TypeScript) and our mobile app (Flutter). If you love setting up modern test pipelines, experimenting with the latest tools—including AI-powered solutions—and want to make a real impact, this is the place for you.

We’re honest: there’s a lot to do! Many things need to be set up, improved, and automated. That’s why we need someone with hands-on experience who can hit the ground running, bring fresh ideas, and help us build best-in-class automation from day one.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain automated end-to-end tests for REST APIs (Node.js/TypeScript/Python) and our Flutter mobile app.
  
  
• Set up and own modern test automation frameworks and pipelines using tools like Maestro (mobile.dev), CircleCI, Cucumber, and Firebase Test Lab.
  
  
• Leverage AI tools to optimize and scale testing processes.
  
  
• Collaborate closely with developers and QA analysts to ensure high-quality releases and fast feedback loops.
  
  
• Identify gaps in our current testing setup and drive improvements proactively.
  
  
• Stay ahead of the curve by researching and integrating the latest testing trends, tools, and best practices.
  
  
• Champion quality across the team, advocating for automation and continuous improvement.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in test automation, ideally with APIs and mobile apps.
  
  
• Strong experience with modern test automation tools.
  
  
• Good programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript and Dart/Flutter test automation exposure.
  
  
• Proven track record of building and maintaining scalable end-to-end test suites.
  
  
• Experience with AI tools in the testing/QA space.
  
  
• Excellent troubleshooting skills and a passion for solving complex automation challenges.
  
  
• Good understanding of security best practices; experience with compliance (PCI DSS) is a bonus.
  
  
• Experience in Tech or FinTech; knowledge of the African market is a plus.
  
  
• Fluency in English is required and a good level of French is a plus.
  
  
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  
  

Why Join Us?

• Shape our automation strategy from the ground up—your ideas and expertise will have a direct, visible impact.
  
  
• Work with cutting-edge technologies and AI-powered tools in a collaborative, forward-thinking team.
  
  
• There are plenty of challenges and opportunities to grow—nothing is set in stone—and your contributions will define our quality culture.
  
  
• Dynamic, multicultural environment with a mission-driven team.
  
  

The advantages of working at Djamo

• A stimulating work environment
• The value of participating in the evolution of a startup that aims to expand throughout French-speaking Africa rapidly.
• A collaborative work environment with a strong team spirit
• A culture of continuous employee development

We will consider all applications on the same basis. Djamo is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
