Key responsibilities
- 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.
Candidate requirements
- 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.
