What You'll Do

• At M-KOPA, you'll build sophisticated event-driven microservices with real-world impact. Our engineering teams own their solutions end-to-end – from architecture decisions to production monitoring. Join us in combining cutting-edge .NET development with purpose-driven engineering that makes digital and financial inclusion possible across Africa.

Technical Environment 

• Modern C# Stack: We use predominantly C# written against the latest .NET stack


• Microservices & Cloud: We favour microservices hosted on Azure using Kubernetes


• Event-Driven Architecture: We are constantly iterating towards a completely decoupled, event-driven architecture


• Mixed Environment: We have both legacy services and greenfield microservices

Your On-boarding Journey: When you join, you'll participate in our Internal Engineering Bootcamp - an immersive on-boarding experience with our staff engineering group. You'll deep-dive into our event-driven architecture, explore our engineering practices, and understand how we approach building systems at scale. We invest in getting you up to speed properly from day one.



Our Engineering Approach 



We're looking for low-ego, experienced engineers who collaborate exceptionally well and embrace continual learning. As an engineer, you'll work as a collaborator, with more senior members coaching and contributing, placing emphasis on:

• High quality output


• Observability and monitoring


• Automated testing in all environments, including production


• Infrastructure as code and DevOps practices


• Knowledge sharing and collaborative problem-solving

What You Need

• We expect you to be comfortable working as part of a team which owns the entire software stack, including supporting infrastructure, throughout the entire software lifecycle - from inception through production to decommissioning under a DevOps culture. You'll value the constraints that continuous delivery places upon engineering processes and embrace testing and observability as first-order concerns in development.

Required Experience:

• Strong grasp of C# .NET development


• Experience with Event-Driven Systems


• Microservices architecture experience


• Testing and deployment expertise


• DevOps culture mindset


• Proven ability to collaborate effectively in distributed teams


• Continuous learning mindset and openness to feedback
