Software Engineer I - Python (Engineering Calculations)

About the role

You will turn engineering problem specifications into runnable calculation templates. Each template is Python code plus tests plus a verification & validation (V&V) document that proves the calculation is correct against its source material. This is an AI-first job: we provide an AI subscription as part of your CTC and expect you to use it daily drafting, debugging, test generation, review. What we hire for is your judgement over what the AI produces: engineering correctness, edge cases, and honest V&V.

Role & responsibilities

• Author Python calculation templates from written problem specifications.
• Convert engineering calculations from Excel and reference documents into Python reading source spreadsheets, mapping formulas.
• Write tests and V&V documentation verifying each template against its source.
• Review other engineers' templates, tests, and V&V documents via GitHub pull requests.
• Work async in written English with a UK + India team; daily standup at 12:00 noon IST.

Preferred candidate profile

Must have:

• 1-2 years of professional software experience (internships alone don't count).
• Proficient Python; comfortable with JSON and reading Excel formulas.
• Git and the GitHub pull-request workflow.
• Working fluency with AI coding tools (Claude / Copilot / ChatGPT) and the discipline to verify their output.
• Strong written English.
• B.E./B.Tech in any engineering discipline, or B.Sc/M.Sc/B.C.A/MCA in a science or computing discipline.

Good to have:

• Domain background in mechanical, civil, structural, chemical, electrical, or finance.
• NumPy/SciPy or other numerical-computing exposure.
• Experience writing technical documentation.

Compensation & benefits

• 3,60,000/year CTC, fixed no variable component.
• AI subscription (10,000/month) provided as a CTC benefit.
• 18 days paid leave per year + statutory holidays.

• 90-day probation; notice period 7 days during probation, 30 days after confirmation.

• Round 3: 60-minute live technical interview.
• Round 4: final culture-fit conversation.
• If shortlisted, offers by mid-October 2026.
