Software Engineer (Backend)

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Web Team. If you’re a creative problem solver who is hungry for a new adventure and ready to disrupt the fintech and consumer finance market then our team is waiting for you in the heart of Cairo!

Shahry is an AI powered mobile credit card. Launched in 2019, we have grown exponentially accelerating access to credit for unbanked Egyptians. Positioned as a buy-now-pay-later app for goods, Shahry offers Egypt’s only fully digital lending solution where applying for credit happens without a `wet signature`.

We source products exclusively from reputable merchants and allow monthly repayment of purchases through digital payments, credit cards, or Egypt’s vast network of over 200k PoS.

Shahry is also Egypt’s only startup funded and partnered with a regulated bank, allowing us unlimited access to financing and industry expertise to build a radical and innovative fintech platform.

This is an example of the stuff that allows us to geek out: automating credit scorecards, digitizing behavioral footprints, (automating) user profiling, and rocking the boat in general.
