Tech Lead

Company overview:

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Kathmandu, Bagmati Province and two nearshore delivery centres. Karmacharya Software employs 830 people across engineering hubs in Kathmandu and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers.
