About the job

  • Join our expanding engineering team! We're actively recruiting a Senior Backend Engineer to help scale M-KOPA Mobility, our fast-growing e-mobility business. This is an initial 12-month Fixed Term Contract, with the potential to extend or transition into a permanent role. Build the event-driven microservices that power clean, affordable transport for riders and entrepreneurs across Africa.

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

Questions about applying

They see your structured profile as it stands at the moment you apply, plus your CV if you have one attached. That snapshot is frozen - if you edit your profile next week, this application still shows what you sent today. Your salary expectation is never sent unless you choose to include it.
Yes. The match figure is for you, not for them - M-KOPA does not see it. The apply button works the same regardless of your match percentage.
Because boards rewrite titles when they republish. All copies of this vacancy are the same job at the same employer with the same closing date. We show the employer's own wording and list the rest above so you know you have already seen it.
It appears in your application tracker straight away. Because this application is handled here rather than on an external site, you will see the status change as M-KOPA moves it - viewed, shortlisted, interviewing or declined. Roles that redirect to an employer's own site cannot be tracked that way, and we say so on those listings.
This employer has not yet been checked against the corporate register. Regardless of any of that, no employer on this platform may ask you for money at any stage. If this one does, report it and tell us what they asked for.
