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.
The group is responsible for our backend integration and finance landscape.
"Leading this group you will work as a servant leader, coach and contributor within a Product Group that places 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 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
We have flexible working hours in the afternoon, where our engineers decide to manage the time in the way they fit best, we support a well balanced work-life schedule where you can manage your own time to take breaks in the afternoon in the way that you see fit. We value the work being done and we believe we are all accountable professionals. We also have 5 days of learning and development per year, and plenty of opportunities to learn while doing the job.

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.
