Role description

Join Block Markets Africa, where we're building next-generation blockchain technology at the forefront of African fintech. We're expanding rapidly and looking for an all-star Junior Blockchain Developer to support our Senior Solidity Developer. You'll dive into smart contract development, blockchain-based applications, and distributed systems while working alongside veterans who will mentor you every step of the way. In this role, you'll iterate quickly and see your work make an immediate, scaled impact in a well-funded, fast-growing company. You'll assist in the full lifecycle of blockchain development—from designing and testing smart contracts to deploying and maintaining them. Working closely with the Senior Developer, you'll translate business requirements into technical solutions, contribute to architecture discussions, and write clean, efficient code. You'll participate in code reviews, monitor smart contract performance, support backend integrations with blockchain networks, and help troubleshoot technical issues. This is a hands-on position where you'll continuously learn while making meaningful contributions to our engineering team. We're looking for someone with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience), a basic understanding of blockchain and Solidity, and familiarity with Ethereum or similar platforms. You should have problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and most importantly, a strong willingness to learn. We offer a competitive full-time salary with remote work flexibility, extensive mentorship and upskilling opportunities, and fast-track career growth in our promote-from-within culture. You'll have a seat at the table in one of Africa's fastest-growing fintech companies.
