• You’ll act as the local point of contact for all provider-related technical flows and issue resolution, working directly with external provider engineering and support teams, while collaborating remotely with Unlimit’s product and development teams based at HQ.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Translate local provider documentation and behavior into actionable inputs for HQ product and engineering teams
• Analyze failed transactions, trace logs, and summarize root causes with clarity
• Document local integration flows, callback behaviors, edge cases, and known issues
• Coordinate testing, QA, and rollout of new payment methods and provider connections
• Stay up-to-date with changes in the Nigerian payments landscape and proactively identify risks and opportunities

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in payments, PSPs, banks, or fintech — ideally in a product, operations, or technical integration role
• Deep understanding of Nigerian payment methods: NIP transfers, virtual accounts, mobile money (e.g., OPay), USSD, and card acquiring
• Strong experience working with bank/payment APIs, handling callback/webhook issues, and understanding payment reconciliation flows
• Confident with technical tools like Postman, Kibana, Datadog, and custom monitoring/reporting dashboards
• Able to communicate with engineers on a technical level and translate for non-technical stakeholders
• Excellent at managing provider relationships and pushing for performance improvements
• Proactive, structured, and comfortable working across time zones with distributed teams
• Bonus: hands-on experience at a PSP, digital wallet, or bank that built or maintained integrations
