We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our growing team at M-KOPA.

''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."

About us

At M-KOPA, we're revolutionising financial inclusion and connectivity across Africa through innovative technology solutions. Our platform has unlocked $1.5 billion in credit, connected 1.7 million first-time internet users, and impacted over 23 million lives.

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

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

Our roles are fully remote, within the following time zone (UTC -1 / UTC+3). Our engineers work remotely from locations such as UK, Europe and Africa.

 

What You'll Bring 🧠

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.

Our Mission 🌍

We create financial inclusion for the traditionally excluded through a fair, flexible, customer-centric financing model. We strive to drive greater inclusion of women, youth, and low-income communities.

 

Our Impact 💚

 

Our technology has created measurable change:

  • Connected 📱: 1.7 million first-time mobile internet users connected

  • Prosperous 💰: 62% of customers use M-KOPA smartphones for income generation, with 30,000+ livelihoods created for agents

  • Green 🌱: 2.1 million tonnes of CO2 avoided through clean energy products, with over 100,000 circular economy products provided

 

Join us in building C# .NET solutions that create real-world financial inclusion while advancing your career in modern backend engineering! ✨

We are looking for good grasp of / and experience with C#.NET, Event Driven Systems, microservices, testing and deployment.

Why M-KOPA?

At M-KOPA, we empower our people to own their careers through diverse development programs, coaching partnerships, and on-the-job training. We support individual journeys with family-friendly policies, prioritize well-being, and embrace flexibility.

Join us in shaping the future of M-KOPA as we grow together. Explore more at m-kopa.com.
