Job Description

• We are looking for a Software Engineering Team Lead that is predominantly Full-stack to join our Repayments engineering group; where progress, and humility are valued as highly as technical excellence.
• This role will lead a team that is focused on delivering exceptional user experiences to both our customers and internal users.
• "Leading a team, you will work as a servant leader, coach and contributor within a team which places emphasis on high quality output using infrastructure as code, observability and monitoring as well as automated testing in all environments, including production".
• You would be leading and working with a cross-functional team to design, develop, and maintain M-KOPA’s Customer android application as well as key internal UI components.
• You would be expected to guide the team to deliver software that scales with both company and customer growth, deep diving user journeys using data and implementing focused updates to address our customer’s needs, improving application quality and raising coding standards.
• We predominantly use Kotlin for our Android apps and our cloud provider is Azure, where our microservices are hosted on Azure Kubernetes. We implement Android applications following clean architecture principles, unidirectional data flow and jetpack compose. 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 Head of Engineering.

Expertise
