Axis is a Central Bank of Egypt–licensed fintech operating two consumer and B2B products: a digital wallet for payments and transfers, and a payouts platform for business disbursements. The tech stack is infrastructure-heavy (Linux, VMware, Hyper-V, KVM) with production monitoring via Prometheus, Grafana, and New Relic, paired with a modern testing pipeline (Selenium, TestNG, Appium) — typical of a regulated financial services company managing uptime and compliance. Current hiring is skewed toward marketing and leadership roles (Head of Marketing, 3 director/lead positions) while engineering remains lean (2 roles), suggesting a shift from product-building toward customer acquisition and go-to-market scaling.
