About PayJoy: PayJoy's mission is to deliver access to credit to the next billion people in emerging markets worldwide. Our unique mobile security technology creates collateral that enables customers to afford their first financed smartphone. Thanks to this, our customers can further access credit to help weather life's unexpected financial surprises and climb the ladder of economic well-being.

Founded in 2015, today PayJoy has reached hundreds of thousands of customers in a dozen countries around the globe, from Mexico to Indonesia, India, Kenya, and Nigeria, and is on a strong growth path with support from major industry partners to bring credit to millions in 2019.

Engineering at PayJoy

Engineering team and processes

We have four engineering teams, spread between our three main offices (San Francisco, Mexico City, and Bangalore). Each team works with the product team to establish quarterly and yearly goals. Release cycles happen as features are completed and tested. Code reviews for code added to the code base are sent to other engineers with area-specific knowledge.

Technical Challenges

In order to help the under-banked, we work together to improve and scale our alternative credit scoring platform, our proprietary Android mobile device management system, and our RESTful API. Data security, scale, and latency are key technical drivers for best-in-class performance to our partners, who often have over 100M users.

Projects you might work on
  • You will work on developing cutting edge technology for locking Android devices across multiple OEMs while anticipating potential security breaches and vulnerabilities.

  • You will have the opportunity to develop entirely new products to enable financial inclusion in emerging markets. You will be involved from concept to execution, collaborating with colleagues and sharing ownership of the final product.
