Senior Backend Engineer — AI Platform & MLOps (Go/Python)

inDrive; Islamabad; On-site; PKR 4,500,000 - 6,500,000; Full time

Job summary

inDrive is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to design, build and operate services for the AI platform. You will write production-grade Go and Python, own services end-to-end, and collaborate with data scientists and ML engineers to ship reliable tooling in production.

You will gain exposure to MLOps tooling, deployment automation, observability and on-call responsibilities as you help grow the platform across multiple regions.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of commercial backend engineering experience.
• Proficient in Go and Python with production-grade services.
• Strong SQL skills including design, indexing and scaling.
• Experience with Redis or similar key-value stores.
• Experience with HTTP/gRPC and message queues like Kafka/RabbitMQ.
• Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes knowledge.
• AWS/GCP core services familiarity.
• Understanding ML lifecycle concepts and ML tooling is a plus.
• Familiarity with observability: metrics, logging, dashboards, tracing.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and run backend services and internal tooling for the ML platform, in Go and Python, and own them in production: delivery, monitoring, on-call.
• Drive technical research and design for new platform features. Weigh trade-offs and write them down.
• Build and extend the deployment tooling and SDKs ML teams use to ship models, including serving, autoscaling and data capture.
• Integrate ML services with the wider backend: sync (HTTP, gRPC) and async (Kafka, RabbitMQ) communication, built for reliability under high load.
• Support the full ML delivery cycle with data scientists and ML engineers: CI/CD for models and pipelines, monitoring, and model performance metrics.
• Build observability end to end: metrics, logs, dashboards, tracing, alerting and runbooks.
• Write infrastructure as code with Terraform and Terragrunt, and ship it through reviewed pull requests.
• Take part in code and design reviews and help raise the engineering bar. Mentor engineers and hold AI-generated changes to the same review standard as human ones.
