Senior Backend Developer, Go

Who we are:

We make a web-based inventory and purchasing system used by independent restaurants, breweries and small food manufacturers. Abbas Software builds scheduling and dispatch software for field service companies, from two-truck plumbing outfits to regional HVAC contractors. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

About the role:

We are adding headcount to this team, so this is a new seat. This hire will help us split a large monolith into a handful of well-defined services without breaking anything customers rely on. Remote position. Most of the team is in Karachi, but nobody is required to come in. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

Day to day:

• Secure endpoints with OAuth 2.0, JWT validation and proper input checks.
• Add caching with Redis where it actually helps, and remove it where it doesn't.
• Reduce cloud costs by right-sizing services and cleaning up unused resources.
• Instrument services with metrics, structured logs and OpenTelemetry traces.
• Coordinate with frontend and mobile engineers on API contracts and versioning.
• Implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ.
• Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers.

What we're looking for:

• 6+ years of backend development experience in a production environment.
• Strong SQL and relational data modelling skills.
• Experience designing and versioning HTTP APIs.
• Working knowledge of message queues or streaming platforms.
• Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP or Azure services.
• Clear written communication, including design docs.

Pluses:

• NoSQL stores such as MongoDB, Cassandra or DynamoDB.
• Elasticsearch or OpenSearch.

Perks and benefits:

Pay: PKR 240,000 - PKR 330,000 a month

• Medical insurance.
• Provident fund.
• Paid leave.

Start: Immediately.
