The mission

What you'll work on.

You'll join the team building Akieni's national-scale backends · the systems that already serve the Ministry of Finance, the universal health-coverage programme and the national social-security operator. We ship in Go, on Kubernetes, with mTLS and PKI everywhere it matters.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build and operate Go services running in production for state operators.
  • Own slices of the platform end-to-end · from API design through deployment.
  • Define SLOs, write the runbooks, and answer the pager when it counts.
  • Review code and architecture from peers and Academy engineers.
  • Contribute to the internal libraries the whole org runs on.

Your profile

  • 5+ years shipping production backends, ideally in Go (Rust / Java / Node OK).
  • Comfortable with Postgres, Redis, Kafka, and the realities of distributed state.
  • You can read a spec, push back on it, and propose a better one.
  • Fluent in French and English · technical writing in either.
  • Based in or willing to relocate to Brazzaville.
