What You'll Do

  • At M-KOPA, you'll build and operate distributed C# and .NET microservices on Azure, working within an event-driven architecture at significant scale. This is an outcomes-driven role: we care far more about the value you create than where you sit or how many hours you're online. You'll own what you build end-to-end from idea, through implementation and deployment, into production and iteration.

Technical Environment

  • Modern C# stack: Distributed C# and .NET microservices
  • Cloud & orchestration: Hosted on Azure using Kubernetes
  • Architecture: Event-driven, supporting products used at significant scale
  • Observability: Grafana, Azure Application Insights, logs, traces, and metrics
  • AI tooling: Claude and other AI tools used throughout the engineering workflow design exploration, code generation and review, test writing, incident investigation, and technical communication

Our Engineering Approach

  • AI-native engineering: We want engineers who tinker experimenting with new tools, agents, and workflows, and sharing what works
  • Guardrails as we accelerate: Automated tests, SLOs, alerting, observability, and deployment safeguards around everything we ship
  • Own it beyond the pull request: Design for idempotency, retries, out-of-order events, and failure modes, and know how your services behave in production
  • The Campfire Rule: Leave the systems you touch a little better than you found them
  • On-call as feedback, not heroics: Engineers who build our systems also help operate them, using incidents to make the platform more resilient

What You Need

  • We're looking for a senior engineer who's curious, autonomous, and highly trusted. You're comfortable owning the entire software stack including supporting infrastructure throughout its lifecycle, and you see production data, not just deployment, as the real measure of "done."

Required Experience:

  • Strong grasp of C# and .NET development
  • Experience with event-driven systems - We use Azure Service Bus, but would love to hear from you if you have experience with similar messaging technology (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.)
  • Microservices architecture experience, ideally on Azure and Kubernetes
  • Experience using observability tooling (e.g. Grafana, Application Insights) to understand production behaviour
  • Comfort using AI tools as part of a daily engineering workflow (design, code review, testing, incident investigation)
  • DevOps culture mindset, including on-call/production ownership
  • Proven ability to collaborate effectively in distributed teams across time zones
  • Continuous learning mindset and openness to feedback

Location & Benefits

  • Fully remote role, collaborating during core GMT working hours
  • Work with diverse teams distributed across UK, Europe, and Africa
  • Personalised training budget to support your development
  • Home office setup budget
  • Professional development programs and coaching partnerships
  • Family-friendly policies and flexible working arrangements
  • Well-being support and career growth opportunities
