What You’ll Do

• At M-KOPA, you’ll lead a team of backend engineers through both greenfield and legacy projects, owning the full software lifecycle from design ideation through to production and eventual decommissioning. Our engineering teams work under a true DevOps culture — with infrastructure as code, observability, automated testing, and continuous delivery treated as first-order concerns, not afterthoughts.
• You’ll set architectural direction, partner closely with your Product Manager counterpart on roadmap planning and prioritisation, and serve as a servant leader who grows the people around you while shipping high-quality, impactful software.

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 Azure 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

Our Engineering Approach 

• Full ownership: Teams own their solutions end-to-end – from inception through production support to decommissioning.
• Servant leadership: We lead by coaching and enabling, not directing.
• Quality by default: Observability, monitoring, and automated testing are built in from day one.
• Continuous improvement: We foster a culture of innovation within a supportive, dynamic team environment.
• Product partnership: Engineering and Product work as genuine counterparts — planning together, prioritising together, delivering together.

What You Need

• We’re looking for an experienced, low-ego engineering leader who brings both technical depth and a genuine passion for growing people.

Required Experience:

• Strong hands-on background in C#/.NET backend development
• Proven experience with Azure, AWS, or GCP – we work in Azure but welcome experience across major cloud providers
• Solid understanding of event-driven architecture and microservice development – we use Azure Service Bus, and welcome experience with similar messaging technologies such as Kafka or RabbitMQ
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers in a collaborative team environment
• Ability to set technical direction and provide architectural guidance
• Comfortable working with Product to shape roadmaps and drive delivery
