M-KOPA Solar | Senior Data Engineer | REMOTE (ideally GMT+0 - GMT+4) or ONSITE in Nairobi/London
M-KOPA Solar is a large-scale solar energy company focusing on pay-as-you-go systems for emerging markets, primarily in East Africa. We sell small home solar systems that provide lighting and energy to customers who are not currently well-served by the traditional electricity grid. We currently have over 700,000 direct customers (equating to roughly 3.5 million people benefiting from our services) and are expanding quickly. M-KOPA may not be a household name in some job markets, but we have a lot of traction, and a solid runway of interesting engineering work.
By joining us, you will get to work on a compelling social mission, while also enjoying the engineering challenge of working to maintain and evolve a ~1 million device IoT installation.
We are actively hiring for a senior data engineer. The ideal candidate would be comfortable working to build data warehousing/persistence flows based on streaming data systems (e.g. Kafka, Event Hub). We are a small team, and so an ideal candidate would be excited to interface with BI developers and application developers to select and implement creative data solutions across a wide-ranging problem space, with involvement in everything from infrastructure to schema design.
