Payroll processing and fintech for the UAE's unbanked workforce
Edenred UAE operates the region's largest payroll platform, processing salary for 2.2 million employees across 15,000+ companies while running a parallel financial inclusion product (C3Pay) for unbanked workers. The tech stack is modern and modular—React, TypeScript, .NET on Azure—but hiring velocity is concentrated in security (3 roles) and engineering (4 roles), with active work on fraud prevention, transaction monitoring, and regulatory compliance. The project mix signals a pivot beyond core payroll: next-generation data platform, portfolio expansion, and growth campaigns suggest movement into broader fintech services.
