## Job Description

IT Jobs. M-KOPA Solar Jobs. Senior Backend Engineer. Designing scalable backend systems, maintaining microservices architecture, and optimizing data pipelines, requiring a Computer Science Degree and 5+ years backend engineering experience.

### Responsibilities

- 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

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
