Senior Software Development Engineer || Remote (Exp:6+ Yrs)

Experience Required: 6+ years
Employment Type: Full-time (Remote)
Package offered- 30 LPA

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Senior engineer who primarily focuses on building high-quality software, with strong capabilities in evaluating code quality and owning end-to-end delivery across the SDLC . This person will work extensively with AI-assisted development tools and will be accountable for ensuring every deliverable whether built internally, by vendors, or with AI assistance — meets high standards of correctness, quality, security, and compliance. You'll be the connective tissue between development, QA, the AI SDLC framework, vendors, and clients — driving execution while holding the line on engineering excellence.

Key Responsibilities

Development- Primary Responsibility

• Write, review, and refactor production-grade code across the stack as needed
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery without compromising quality or introducing technical debt
• Set and model engineering best practices: clean architecture, maintainability, performance, and scalability

Quality & Security

• Review deliverables with a QA mindset — functional correctness, edge case coverage, regression risk, and test adequacy
• Conduct security-focused code reviews (secure coding practices, common vulnerability classes, dependency risk, data handling)
• Define and enforce quality gates and Definition-of-Done criteria across the SDLC
• Ensure compliance with relevant coding, security, and regulatory standards

Delivery & Orchestration

• Own the complete SDLC lifecycle — planning, development, testing, deployment, and release
• Coordinate across development teams, QA, and the AI SDLC framework/tooling to keep delivery on track
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for vendors and clients, translating requirements and validating vendor deliverables against internal quality bars
• Identify bottlenecks or risks across teams/departments and drive them to resolution proactively
• Report on delivery health, quality metrics, and risk status to stakeholders

Required Skills

• Programming Languages: Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Python, C#, Go, or similar); ability to read and reason about code in adjacent languages is a plus
• Software Design & Architecture: Solid grasp of design patterns, clean code principles, and system/API design
• Testing & QA Practices: Familiarity with unit, integration, and end-to-end testing frameworks; ability to assess test coverage and quality, not just write tests
• Test Automation Frameworks: Hands-on experience with at least one automated testing framework such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar — able to write, review, and evaluate automated test suites as part of the quality gate
• Security Fundamentals: Working knowledge of secure coding practices and common vulnerability classes (e.g., OWASP Top 10), plus basics of dependency and data-handling risk
• AI-Assisted Development Tools: Hands-on experience with tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar
• Version Control & CI/CD: Practical experience with Git-based workflows and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)
• Cloud & Infrastructure Basics: Working familiarity with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization basics (Docker)
• Code Review & Static Analysis: Comfort using or setting up static analysis, linting, and code quality tools (e.g., SonarQube, ESLint, or similar)
• Communication & Stakeholder Coordination: Ability to clearly communicate technical decisions and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders (dev, QA, vendors, clients)

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software development experience, with strong hands-on coding ability in at least one modern stack
• Demonstrated experience reviewing others' code for quality, logic correctness, and security — not just writing code
• Solid understanding of secure coding practices and common vulnerability patterns (e.g., OWASP Top 10 or equivalent)
• Experience working with or evaluating AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar)
• Proven experience coordinating cross-functional stakeholders — development, QA, vendors, and clients
• Strong understanding of SDLC methodologies (Agile/Scrum, CI/CD pipelines, release management)
• Excellent communication skills to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Skills

• Prior experience in a technical ownership, architect, or cross-team coordination capacity
• Experience working within an AI-augmented SDLC framework (AI-assisted pipelines with human review checkpoints)
• Vendor management or client-facing delivery experience

What Success Looks Like

• Deliverables consistently meet quality, security, and compliance bars before release
• Cross-team handoffs (dev QA vendor client) happen with minimal friction or rework
• AI tooling is used effectively to boost velocity without introducing quality or security regressions
• Stakeholders (internal and client-side) trust this person as the final technical checkpoint before sign-off
