ABOUT THE ROLE
Today, roughly 40% of all transactions on the Egyptian Exchange flow through Thndr. Every one of those trades has to be funded, and every pound, dirham, or soon riyal, a user makes has to be money they can actually take back out. Money has to move, into accounts, out to banks, between our own books and the market, accurately and on time, every single time. That is the Money Movements team.
We move more than 1 billion EGP every day across hundreds of thousands of individual movements, and the figure we care about most is how many of them go wrong, which we work relentlessly to keep as close to zero as possible.

A delayed settlement, a double credit, or a balance that does not reconcile is never just a bug, it is real money belonging to real people.

• Build and maintain integrations with banks, payment gateways, payment providers, and asset managers, and handl...
