Software Engineer

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. SC Labs employs 700 people across engineering hubs in Lahore and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

About the role:

We are backfilling a position after an internal move. Our operations team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling.

• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.

Minimum qualifications:

• 3-5 years of professional software development experience.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.

Preferred:

• Contributions to open source projects.
• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain.
• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
