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 SDE2 (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.
