Senior Backend Engineer

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 

  • Languages & frameworks: C#/.NET
  • Cloud: We work in Azure, and welcome experience across AWS or GCP
  • Architecture: Event-driven systems and microservice development – we use Service Bus, and welcome experience with similar messaging technologies such as Kafka or RabbitMQ
  • Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker
  • Observability: Prometheus, Grafana
  • Engineering culture: DevOps, infrastructure as code, automated testing across all environments including production, continuous delivery
  • AI tooling: We use AI coding tools including Claude Code as part of our engineering workflow

Our Engineering Approach 

As an engineer, you will work as a collaborator. More senior members will coach and contribute, placing an emphasis on:

  • High quality output
  • Observability and monitoring
  • Automated testing in all environments, including production
  • Infrastructure as code and DevOps practices

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 – Service Bus or similar messaging technologies such as Kafka or RabbitMQ
  • Microservices architecture experience
  • Experience with Azure, or other major cloud providers such as AWS or GCP
  • Familiarity with containerisation and orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Docker)
  • Experience with observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana
  • Testing and deployment expertise
  • DevOps culture mindset
  • Experience working with AI coding tools, ideally Claude Code or similar
