About Heirs Technologies Heirs Technologies is the technology subsidiary of Heirs Holdings, Africa's leading investment holding company. We build world-class digital products and platforms that serve millions of Africans across the continent and diaspora. About the Engagement We are building a next-generation digital banking platform for one of Africa's largest financial institutions - a product built to serve 15 million users at launch, scaling to hundreds of millions across the continent and diaspora. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to work on data infrastructure that will underpin how Africa transacts, saves, and grows. The Role As a Senior Database Engineer, you will design, build, and operate the data infrastructure that sits at the heart of this platform. You will own both the relational and distributed NoSQL database layers - ensuring they are highly available, performant, secure, and built to scale to hundreds of millions of users without architectural rework. On a financial platform where data integrity, availability, and compliance are non-negotiable, the database layer is one of the most critical surfaces on the platform - and you own it.
