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

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.

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
