About Dispatch Network

Dispatch Network is building Last Mile 2.0 redefining how urban logistics operates in India. Were designing the new infrastructure for how goods move: faster, smarter, and more sustainable.

Our systems power real-time movement of thousands of riders across cities connecting orders, people, and places with near-zero latency. Were now moving from proven pilots to national scale.

As an SDE 2 (Backend Go), youll own and scale the distributed systems that make this possible. Youll design and implement highly concurrent services, real-time event pipelines, and data-driven orchestration logic that keeps Indias cities moving.

What Youll Do:

Core Systems Development

Design and implement backend services in Go for gig orchestration, rider routing, and real-time order tracking.

Architect WebSocket-based communication layers capable of handling thousands of concurrent app connections per cluster.

Build and optimize Kafka-based asynchronous systems for events, telemetry, and delivery workflows.

Design APIs (REST/gRPC) and contribute to our orchestration engine and ATLAS decision core.

System Design & Scalability

Own feature design from architecture to production deployment.

Develop fault-tolerant systems that can handle high concurrency and network volatility.

Optimize Redis usage for caching, Pub/Sub, and geo-queries.

Work with Postgres and H3 for geo-hash-based zone logic and order mapping.

Infrastructure & Delivery

Contribute to CI/CD, observability, and performance tuning across microservices.

Partner with infra team on AWS (ECS, RDS, Redis, Kafka, Terraform).

Drive code reviews and uphold engineering quality.

Collaboration & Leadership

Work closely with product, AI, and mobility teams to ship data-informed features.

Mentor SDE1s and review code for reliability and maintainability.

Contribute to internal engineering practices, documentation, and standards.

What Were Looking For:

47 years of backend development experience, with at least 2+ years in Go.

Strong grasp of concurrency, synchronization, and async I/O.

Experience with WebSocket servers, Kafka, Redis, and event-driven architectures.

Solid understanding of distributed systems, service-to-service communication, and API versioning.

Familiar with containerized environments (Docker, AWS ECS/Fargate).

Strong debugging, performance profiling, and system observability skills.

Bonus:

Experience with OSRM, H3, Redis Geo, or last-mile logistics systems.

Contributions to open-source or production-grade Go frameworks.

Exposure to event-sourcing or CQRS architectures.

Why Join Us:

Impact: Your code will power real-world movement across India.

Ownership: Founding-level responsibility over system design and reliability.

Growth: Deep technical exposure across concurrency, mobility, and AI-driven logistics.

Culture: Design Tech Empathy youll help define how we build.
