Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for seasoned engineers who are quality-conscious, product thinkers, business-cognizant, and smart, not mere coders.

• Given a fuzzy product requirement, work with other stakeholders and product to understand and refine the requirements and change them to tech requirements
• Prepare high-level designs under guidance and document them
• Low-level design and code independently in multiple tech components related to the functional area.
• Choose the right tech stack for a given situation under guidance from senior team members.
• Optimize any existing microservices.
• Take non-functional requirements (reliability and availability, scale, horizontal scalability) into consideration while taking any decision.
• Build, develop, mentor, and coach junior team members.
• Own the quality of code, UT coverage, documentation, etc.
• Collaborate with teams by contributing to the shared vision and working closely with cross-functional stakeholders.

Requirements:

• B. Tech or M. Tech equivalent with at least 5 years of experience.
• Deep expertise in at least one programming language and tech stack.
• Strong object-oriented design skills, ability to apply design patterns, and an uncanny ability to design intuitive module and class-level interfaces.

• Good understanding of multiple tech solutions and ability to pick the correct one for the given situation.
• Prior work experience in an agile environment or continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).
• Ability and experience in designing high-level software designs for a scalable system, considering NFRs (non-functional requirements).
