SDET (Backend / Platform Reliability) About Dispatch Network

Dispatch 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 Do

Test Infrastructure & Automation

Design 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 Validation

Test 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 & Reliability

Design 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 Productivity

Integrate 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 For

3–5 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.

Bonus

Experience 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 .
