SDE 1 - (Backend - Go)

Location: Pune, India (On-site)

Type: Full-Time

Experience: 24 years

Dispatch Network is building the future of urban logistics Last Mile 2.0. Were building systems that connect riders, merchants, and customers through real-time, data-driven delivery orchestration.

As an SDE1 (Backend Go), youll join the core engineering team responsible for building our distributed backend systems. Youll work on concurrency-heavy services, API development, and real-time messaging systems that power thousands of deliveries a day.

Core Backend Development

• Write scalable, maintainable Go services for delivery orchestration, fleet operations, and rider tracking.
• Build WebSocket-based communication modules for live updates between riders and clients.
• Work on Kafka event systems consuming, debugging, and extending event pipelines.
• Contribute to our REST/gRPC APIs, data models, and Redis-based caching layers.

System Reliability

• Implement robust error handling, retries, and recovery patterns.
• Write unit and integration tests to ensure reliability under concurrency.
• Monitor and debug production services using logs and observability tools.

Collaboration & Learning

• Work with senior engineers to understand architecture decisions and scaling strategies.
• Participate in sprint planning, code reviews, and documentation.
• Learn how synchronous and asynchronous systems interact in production-scale fulfillment.

• 24 years of experience in backend development, preferably with Go.
• Solid understanding of concurrency (goroutines, channels, worker pools).
• Basic familiarity with Kafka, Redis, and PostgreSQL.
• Comfortable working with REST APIs and microservice patterns.
• Exposure to Docker, AWS basics, or CI/CD workflows.

Bonus:

• Interest in mobility, logistics, or large-scale distributed systems.
• Experience with WebSocket servers or event-driven architectures.
• Understanding of geo-based data systems (H3, OSRM, Redis Geo).

• Learn Fast: Work directly on production systems used by thousands of riders.
• Build Deep: Learn distributed systems, concurrency, and event-driven design from day one.
• Contribute Meaningfully: Every line of code you write moves real people and real goods.
• Culture: Design Tech Empathy we build what matters.
