  • Senior Staff Engineer

    Senior Staff Engineer

    We are looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to join our Backend Engineering team. This is a very senior role and you would be reporting to the Engineering Manager.
    You would be working standalone and as a coach and contributor within a company that has an emphasis on high quality output using infrastructure as code, observability and monitoring as well as automated testing in all environments, including production.
    At M-KOPA we deploy multiple times per day, and you will be empowered to drive the architecture of our new fleet of microservices. We use predominantly C# written against the latest .NET stack, and favor microservices hosted on Azure using Kubernetes for all new implementations. A high level of proficiency in this area is needed.
    We are constantly iterating towards a completely decoupled, event driven architecture across our entire software portfolio.
    This is a fully remote role, within the following time zone (UTC -1 / UTC+3). Our engineers work remotely from locations such as UK, Europe and Africa. You will be reporting to the group Engineering Manager.
    We have a mix of legacy services and greenfield microservices, so if you love the challenge of improving a legacy codebase while working on new projects, and if working remotely full time appeals, this might be a job for you.
