Senior Backend Engineer

CFP Systems is a 41-person software shop in Lalitpur. The founders still answer support tickets. Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about.

Looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who wants to stay somewhere for a while. This hire will help us split a large monolith into a handful of well-defined services without breaking anything customers rely on. You can work from home anywhere in Nepal. We have no office requirement. Few meetings, lots of written updates. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

What you'll be doing:

• Review code for correctness, performance and failure handling
• Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS
• Handle on-call for services the team owns and lead incident follow-ups
• Instrument services with metrics, structured logs and OpenTelemetry traces
• Tune slow queries, add indexes and read query plans
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB
• Add caching with Redis where it actually helps, and remove it where it doesn't

What we're looking for:

• 6+ years of backend development experience in a production environment
• Understanding of concurrency, transactions, idempotency and retries
• Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines
• Working knowledge of message queues or streaming platforms
• Clear written communication, including design docs

What you get:

Salary range: NPR 140,000 - NPR 155,000 per month

• Medical insurance
• Internet allowance
• Social Security Fund contribution

Start: Immediately.
