🚨 WE ARE HIRING – PRINCIPAL DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS ENGINEER
Are you passionate about building distributed systems that power large-scale cloud infrastructure? Do you thrive on solving complex engineering problems, designing resilient backend architectures, and creating technology that delivers real-world impact?
This is your opportunity to join one of Nigeria’s most ambitious technology infrastructure projects.
We are seeking a Principal Distributed Systems Engineer to lead the design and development of the core technology behind a Tier-III Sovereign Data Centre and a nationwide Distributed Edge Compute Network. This role is ideal for a highly skilled engineer who enjoys working on high-performance systems, mathematical optimisation, cloud infrastructure, cryptographic security, and enterprise-grade backend platforms.
As part of this engagement, you will architect and build mission-critical systems from the ground up, including a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) Workload Optimisation Engine, a SHA-256 Immutable Billing Ledger, advanced PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) for multi-tenant environments, and a Distributed Edge Compute Orchestrator capable of managing workloads across thousands of nodes.
This is more than a software engineering role—it is an opportunity to influence the future of sovereign cloud infrastructure, helping to build secure, scalable, and resilient platforms that will support next-generation digital services.
