DevOps Engineering Manager

Lean is expanding our footprint by opening an office in Egypt this summer, and the DevOps Engineering Manager role is one of our first hires in the market.

We're a Series B fintech (General Catalyst and Sequoia backed), and over the last few years, we have grown from a category-defining open banking company into a multi-rail infrastructure layer powering payments, data, and lending across MENA.

The work is hard, the standards are high, and the ownership is real. If you are a builder who wants to set the standard, this is the right moment to join.
