Role Description

Karat is seeking talented U.S.-based engineers ready to commit to a dedicated, availability-based contract through Q3 2026.

• Consistent, dedicated availability of 40 hours per week through Q3 2026.

  • System design

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Experience conducting technical interviews, either through a formal employer program or independently.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills; clear, efficient evaluation write-ups matter here.
• A reliable home setup: stable internet connection, working webcam, and microphone.
• Genuine availability to hold a consistent weekly block for the full three-month term; this is not a pick-up-when-you-want arrangement.

Requirements

• Duration: 4 months.
• Weekly commitment: 40 hours.
• Availability windows: Flexible, including evenings and weekends.
• Compensation: Hourly rate.
• Location: Remote; must be currently located in the United States.
