Job Description
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.

- 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.
