Engineering Director

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Kathmandu, Bagmati Province and two nearshore delivery centres. Karmacharya Software employs 830 people across engineering hubs in Kathmandu and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

The position

This role opened up after a team member moved internally. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. Remote within Nepal. The team meets in Kathmandu once a quarter, travel covered. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Essential duties and responsibilities

• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.

Required qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software development experience.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.

What we offer

• Medical insurance.
• Paid leave.
• Flexible hours.
• Internet allowance.
• Company laptop.
