Job Title

SDET (Backend / Platform Reliability)About Dispatch NetworkDispatch Network is building Last Mile 2.0 — redefining how urban logistics operates in India. We’re 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. We’re now moving from proven pilots to national scale.As an SDET (Backend / Platform Reliability), you’ll help ensure that the distributed systems powering this network are robust, observable, and production-ready. You will design automated testing infrastructure and reliability tooling for highly concurrent systems built in Go and AWS, enabling our engineering teams to ship faster with confidence.What You’ll DoTest Infrastructure & AutomationDesign and build automated testing frameworks for backend services written in Go.Develop integration and end-to-end tests that validate dispatch workflows, rider allocation, and order lifecycle across services.Build tooling to simulate real-world delivery scenarios — order spikes, network failures, rider churn, and geo-movement events.Develop reusable test harnesses and service mocks to enable reliable local and CI testing.Distributed Systems ValidationTest systems built around event-driven architectures, async workflows, and microservices.Validate correctness and resilience of WebSocket streams, event pipelines, and background workers.Design tests for high concurrency scenarios and race conditions common in real-time logistics systems.Develop reliability tests for failure scenarios such as service crashes, retries, and degraded network conditions.Performance & ReliabilityDesign and run load and stress tests to validate system performance under peak traffic.Identify performance bottlenecks across services, APIs, and caching layers.Build chaos and failure simulations to ensure dispatch systems remain stable under infrastructure disruptions.Collaborate with engineers to improve observability, alerting, and reliability metrics.Developer ProductivityIntegrate automated testing pipelines into CI/CD workflows.Work closely with backend engineers during design and development phases to ensure systems are testable.Act as a first responder for debugging system issues, helping isolate bugs and reproduce edge cases.Contribute tools that improve developer velocity and system confidence.What We’re Looking For3–5 years of experience as an SDET or backend engineer with strong automation experience.Strong programming ability in Go, Python, or similar languages.Experience building automated test frameworks or developer tooling.Strong understanding of APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.Experience testing event-driven or asynchronous systems.Familiarity with AWS environments and cloud-native systems.Strong debugging and systems thinking mindset.BonusExperience with load testing tools such as k6, Locust, or Gatling.Experience testing WebSocket systems or real-time applications.Familiarity with Kafka, Redis, and event streaming systems.Experience building internal developer tooling or CI/CD automation.Exposure to logistics, mobility, or marketplace platforms.Why Join UsImpactYour work will ensure reliability for systems powering real-world delivery networks across India.OwnershipYou’ll design and own the testing infrastructure for a new generation of logistics systems.GrowthWork deeply with distributed systems, concurrency, and real-time event architectures.CultureDesign × Tech × Empathy — quality is a shared engineering responsibility.
