Description
Moniepoint is hiring a Head of Engineering, Sales Management Tools based in Remote, Kenya. Sales Management Tools owns MonieCRM, the operating system for Moniepoint's 50,000-strong sales network. This is not a CRM we bought — it is a workforce operations platform built entirely in-house for a multi-level field sales hierarchy, and it is how those teams run their day to day: the portfolio of businesses they manage, their own teams, their goals and performance, the physical and digital resources they need in the field, and an emerging… A significant part of the domain moves money. The platform owns wallets, commission calculation and attribution, cashout and welfare funds for a network that drives the overwhelming majority of company revenue — which makes financial correctness, not just availability, a core engineering requirement of the role.

Requirements
You have 10–15 years of overall software engineering experience, with at least 5 years leading engineering teams through growth phases. 5+ years of hands-on, production-level experience writing and shipping Java code as a practising engineer. This means years spent writing Java yourself, not years spent overseeing teams who write it. At least 5 years of experience managing managers — leading an engineering organisation through other engineering leaders, rather than running a single team. You have proven platform engineering experience at scale — building and running complex distributed systems, not feature delivery alone. You have navigated legacy migrations and re-architecture projects at 20M+ user scale. You have strong backend engineering skills in high-throughput, data-intensive distributed systems, and are proficient in Java and Spring Boot. You have managed and developed large engineering teams of 20 or more members. Experience building systems where financial correctness matters — commissions, payouts, wallets, ledgers or equivalent — is a strong advantage. A fintech or payments background is strongly preferred. CRM or SalesTech domain experience is nice to have and explicitly not required. Exposure to customer engagement or marketing automation platforms such as Braze is a plus, but not a requirement.
