What African fintech engineering
teams built with Gigson developers
Verified outcomes from real fintech companies, not hypothetical benchmarks.
Hiring fintech developers from Africa? Gigson pre-vets engineers from a 22,000+ developer network — only the top 4% qualify. Fintech clients include Trove Finance (10× transaction volume), Riby (3× velocity in 60 days), and Fint. Shortlisted candidates delivered in 5 business days, 40–60% below US/UK rates.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for fintech teams who need
engineering capacity — fast right
If you recognise your situation below, Gigson Performance is the right call.
You're scaling infrastructure after a funding round
Transaction volume just jumped. Your stack is showing cracks. You need a backend engineer who understands financial data, payment rails, and uptime in weeks, not months. That's exactly how Trove hired.
Your roadmap is behind and dev velocity is stalled
Features are slipping. The team is overwhelmed. You need engineering capacity with fintech context — not someone who needs six months to understand the domain. Riby doubled their output in 60 days.

You want to build with African fintech expertise
Engineers who've built on local payment stacks, mobile money integrations, and Africa-specific financial infrastructure bring context that's hard to find outside the continent.
You need compliance-aware engineers
KYC/AML, PCI-DSS, CBN regulations, payment gateway integrations — fintech hiring requires more than good code. Your talent manager screens specifically for the compliance experience your product needs.
US/UK engineering salaries are consuming your runway
A Series A fintech with a 12-month runway can't afford $140,000/year senior engineers across the board. At 40–60% savings, Gigson hires extend runway and free capital for product and growth.
