Backend Engineer

Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. We started in 2004 and have grown to about 540 people. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

Position summary:

We are replacing a colleague who is moving away. The Orders team owns services that process several million requests a day. We need another engineer who is comfortable owning them in production. You'll work mostly on server-side code: services, queues, databases and the glue between them. Little to no frontend work. This role is remote. You need a reliable internet connection and somewhere quiet to work.

Day to day:

• Instrument services with metrics, structured logs and OpenTelemetry traces
• Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS
• Secure endpoints with OAuth 2.0, JWT validation and proper input checks
• Implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ
• Handle on-call for services the team owns and lead incident follow-ups
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB
• Coordinate with frontend and mobile engineers on API contracts and versioning
• Design and build REST and gRPC APIs in Go, Java or Python

Minimum qualifications:

• 3+ years of backend development experience in a production environment
• Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience designing and versioning HTTP APIs
• Proficiency in at least one of Go, Java, Kotlin, Python, C# or Node.js

Preferred:

• NoSQL stores such as MongoDB, Cassandra or DynamoDB
• Kubernetes, including Helm charts
• Terraform or Pulumi

Pay: PKR 210,000 - PKR 245,000 a month

Benefits:

• Medical insurance
• Provident fund
• Paid leave
• Fuel allowance
