Job summary:

Thistleland is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to work remotely from Nepal. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions.

What you'll do:

• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.

Minimum qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.

Nice to have:

• Contributions to open source projects.
• Kubernetes and Docker in production.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform.

Pay: NPR 130,000 - NPR 175,000 pcm

What you get:

• Medical insurance.
• Company laptop.
• Social Security Fund contribution.
