JOB DETAILS:
At M-KOPA we are looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Portfolio Product group. This is a brand new role for 2024.

As one of Africa’s leading fintech lenders, M-KOPA issues millions of microloans to our customers every year. Each of these loans is based on a rigorous credit risk assessment.

Each of these loans needs to be authoritatively tracked, with the results of that tracking aggregated into M-KOPA’s management accounting systems.

In addition our overall lending portfolio needs to be continuously stress-tested and reforecasted, to ensure that it is evolving in-line with our expectations.

"The Portfolio Management product group at M-KOPA is responsible for all of these objectives".
Practically speaking this means that you will be responsible for directly managing multiple engineering teams to build and maintain transactional systems for core areas of loan management systems, while also working extremely closely with Data Scientists and Analytics Engineers to support our broader Portfolio Management work.

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 favour microservices hosted on Azure using Kubernetes for all new implementations. We are constantly iterating towards a completely decoupled, event driven architecture across our entire software portfolio.

These are fully remote roles, 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.

We need someone proven in the coordination and management of multiple software teams working in an agile consumer focused product environment. They need to be comfortable articulating trade-offs between solutions and managing challenging customer driven stakeholders.

Flexible
Are you looking for an opportunity to work in a company where progress, and humility are valued as highly as technical excellence?

Where we use the latest technologies and architectures to build fantastic customer experiences with a socially and environmentally conscious mission that echoes throughout the organisation.

Our expectations are that you would be comfortable working as part of a team which owns the entire software stack, including the supporting infrastructure, throughout the entire software lifecycle from inception, through production and right the way to decommissioning under a DevOps culture. If you also value the constraints that continuous delivery places upon engineering processes and embrace testing and observability as first order concerns in the development of software, you probably have what it takes to join the team and shape our future.
