Senior Software Engineer (India)
Location: Remote (India - Bangalore ONLY)
Department: Engineering
We're Karat, the world's largest interviewing company.
Karat is transforming organizations around the world. We provide a powerful system for technical leaders at companies like PayPal, Atlassian, and Citi who want to take control of how they hire top engineers, elevate their teams and contractors, and stay ahead. At the core of Karat’s system are live, expert-led interviews, analytics designed to give leaders maximum visibility, and the most robust interview performance dataset in the world.
Come join our Engineering team
Our Software Engineering team is dedicated to building the world’s most predictive, inclusive, and fair interviewing products for our clients and technical candidates alike.
What you will do
As a Senior Software Engineer at Karat, you'll own complex, technically demanding projects on our flagship interviewing platform and drive them end-to-end. You'll make significant architectural decisions, actively improve technical quality across the team's codebase beyond your own lane, and collaborate closely with engineering leadership to raise the bar on how we build.
This position requires a schedule that overlaps with U.S. business hours.
- Embrace AI-assisted development as a core part of your workflow; stay current with emerging techniques and help evolve the team's practices as the field advances rapidly.
- Design and build sophisticated web applications across the full stack; own significant architectural decisions that ensure long-term maintainability and performance.
- Own and deliver complex, heavily ambiguous projects from design to release, independently resolving significant architectural questions and seeing work through to production.
- Proactively identify and address technical quality issues beyond your immediate project scope, looking across the team's systems to reduce risk and improve reliability.
- Mentor junior engineers, elevating the team's overall capability through knowledge sharing, code reviews, and hands-on guidance.
- Collaborate with a cross-functional team of Analysts, Data Scientists, Designers, Product Managers, and Engineers to define and deliver product features.
- Champion engineering best practices, including testing strategy, performance optimization, and technical debt management.
The experience you will bring
- 7+ years of post-internship professional experience owning and delivering complex, full-stack web applications and distributed systems end-to-end in production
- Deep expertise in modern programming languages (Ruby, Python, React, TypeScript/JavaScript) with strong command of web frameworks and design patterns across the stack
- Strong experience with system architecture, microservices design, database optimization, and API development (REST and GraphQL)
- Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, and scalable deployment technologies (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Demonstrated technical leadership, including mentoring teammates and driving technical initiatives
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; proven ability to work with diverse stakeholders and translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences
- Interest in technical interviewing, talent assessment, or edtech is a strong plus
