Employer description & source details
Much of the infrastructure we build has constraints that are uncommon in conventional software systems. Karya operates across multiple geographies, with different requirements, environments, and network conditions. Our systems need to work reliably even when connectivity is limited or intermittent, while still supporting a centralized platform that can scale across countries without becoming a collection of country-specific systems. Building backend infrastructure that can operate reliably across very different environments and geographies. Designing systems that cannot always assume a reliable network, including resilient data transfer and eventual synchronization. Evolving our existing architecture as the platform grows, making the right trade-offs between simplicity, performance, reliability, and scale. Building infrastructure and developer tooling that increases the leverage of the engineering team. Solving problems across APIs, data systems, distributed systems, integrations, performance, security, and reliability. The interesting part is that there often isn't an established pattern to follow. You’ll need to understand the constraints, make good technical decisions, and build pragmatic solutions. You’ll own meaningful product and technical areas end-to-end. That means understanding the problem, shaping the solution, making architectural decisions, writing the code, getting it into production, and being responsible for what happens afterwards. Over time, we expect you to take ownership of a significant product area or technical domain and materially improve it. You’ll also have the opportunity to influence how the engineering team works: improving our internal infrastructure, tooling, and engineering practices so that the team can move faster while maintaining a hi
