Senior Software Engineer

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Karachi Software employs 480 people across engineering hubs in Karachi and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers.

Role overview:

We need another Senior Software Engineer who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. Remote position. Most of the team is in Karachi, but nobody is required to come in. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. You will need a stable internet connection and a backup power source (UPS or inverter).

What you'll do:

• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners

What you need:

• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design

Preferred qualifications:

• Contributions to open source projects
• Prior work at an early-stage startup
• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain
• Kubernetes and Docker in production

Compensation and benefits:

• Medical insurance
• Provident fund
• Paid leave
• Life insurance

We are reviewing applications as they arrive, so apply early.

Candidates must be eligible to work in Pakistan.

Start: Immediately.
