Senior Backend Engineer

The company:

Kathmandu Data builds scheduling and dispatch software for field service companies, from two-truck plumbing outfits to regional HVAC contractors. Since 1994, the company has sold practice management software to dental and veterinary clinics in Nepal. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

Position summary:

Kathmandu Data has an opening for a Senior Backend Engineer. The Partner Integrations team owns services that process several million requests a day. We need another engineer who is comfortable owning them in production. This role is fully remote within Nepal. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

What you'll do:

• Handle on-call for services the team owns and lead incident follow-ups
• Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers
• Coordinate with frontend and mobile engineers on API contracts and versioning
• Implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ
• 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

Who you are:

• 6+ years of backend development experience in a production environment
• Strong SQL and relational data modelling skills
• Working knowledge of message queues or streaming platforms
• Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines

Preferred qualifications:

• Background with high-volume payment or ledger systems
