About the Role

Join Careem Pakistan as a Senior Software Engineer I. Help scale the Everything App across Pakistan, driving digital transportation, food delivery, and fin-tech payment services.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services powering the Quick and Shops customer experience.
  • Write high-quality Golang code, delivering complete features and resolving bugs independently.
  • Build and maintain REST APIs, service-to-service integrations, and gateway and configuration-driven systems.
  • Own and evolve backend data models and catalog systems supporting our product verticals.
  • Manage event-driven systems using Kafka and Avro schema evolution.
  • Support AWS cloud infrastructure including S3, CloudFront, DNS, and certificate management.
  • Participate in on-call rotations and debug production issues across highly distributed and decoupled systems.

Qualifications & Skills

Basic Requirements

  • Proven backend engineering experience at a mid-band level or above — this is not an entry-level role.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Golang; candidates with deep experience in another modern language (Java, Kotlin, C#, C++) will be considered if they can demonstrate a clear ability to ramp up.
  • Product-facing backend experience — you have built systems that directly serve end customers, not purely infrastructure or platform-isolated work.
  • Experience with REST APIs, service-to-service integrations, and distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with data modeling, Kafka, and Avro schema evolution.
  • AWS cloud infrastructure exposure — S3, CloudFront, DNS, certificate management.
  • On-call ownership and a track record of debugging complex issues across distributed systems independently.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working in rapid-growth tech, ridesharing, or digital marketplace platforms.
