About this role

The Opportunity

Scale challenges: M-KOPA Mobility is growing 3x year-on-year as its own fast-scaling business, with over 11,000 e-motorbikes financed and demand climbing. As it grows, so do the opportunities to expand your scope, your impact and your career
Mission-driven engineering: Every service you build helps put clean transport within reach of riders who’d otherwise be locked out of ownership
Global recognition: Join a company named by the Financial Times as one of Africa’s fastest-growing for 5 consecutive years (2022–2026)
Environmental impact: Electric is simply better for drivers, cities and the planet. Our e-motorbikes cut air pollution by 90% versus petrol equivalents.

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, using AI coding tools like Claude Code to move faster along the way.
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’ll 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
AI-assisted development with tools like Claude Code

What You Need:

We expect you to be comfortable working as part of a team that owns the entire software stack, including supporting infrastructure, throughout the 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.

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
