Microfinance and digital banking group serving African small businesses
Baobab Group runs a microfinance and digital lending network for micro-entrepreneurs across Africa, with a core banking footprint on T24 alongside a modern GCP data stack (Airbyte, dbt, BigQuery, Looker, Cloud Composer). Current Paris hiring splits between treasury finance and data, pointing to two parallel priorities: diversifying funding through capital markets and bond issuance, and building a semantic layer that exposes governed data to AI agents.
Baobab Group is a Paris-headquartered, privately held financial services group founded in 2005, with 1,001–5,000 employees. Through subsidiaries operating in seven African countries, it serves micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses that traditional banks underserve. Its product range covers micro-loans, savings, transactional and daily banking, mobile payments, digital nano loans and pay-as-you-go solar products. Technology spans T24 core banking, C# and SQL Server, React and React Native front ends, and analytics on BigQuery, Power BI and Tableau across GCP, AWS and Azure.

Yes. Hiring is accelerating in France across data and finance, with mostly senior roles focused on data ingestion automation, platform modeling and treasury planning.
Current initiatives include a multi-year treasury plan, a bond issuance program and refinancing strategy, automated data ingestion pipelines, and a semantic layer for AI agents.
