Step into a career with ASM, where cutting edge technology meets collaborative culture. For over 55 years ASM has been ahead of what’s next, at the forefront of innovation and what’s technologically possible. With more than 4,500 ASMers representing 70 nationalities, our people and our advanced semiconductor devices are playing a crucial role in trends such as 5G, cloud computing, AI, and autonomous driving. But we’re more than just a tech company. We value diversity, inclusion and sustainability as we strive to make a positive impact on the world. Our development programs help support your growth, shaping your future and pushing the boundaries of innovation to unleash potential. About the Role We are seeking an experienced senior backend software engineer to design, build, and support our suite of AI/ML analytics applications for semiconductor manufacturing. In this role, you will own the full development lifecycle for assigned components—reviewing and guiding vendor contributions, writing and testing production code, and independently owning features and changes end to end. While we currently work with development vendors, we anticipate a gradual shift toward in-house owned development over time, and this engineer will play a key role in that transition—with the opportunity to help shape and grow the in-house team as it expands. This is a senior individual contributor role for an engineer who brings strong experience, sound judgment, and the ability to take ownership of meaningful work without close oversight. What You'll Do Design, build, and maintain backend services for our AI/ML analytics platform Own architectural direction and design decisions for assigned components, including technical documentation and standards Independently own features and changes from design through testing and deployment Review and guide vendor-developed code to ensure quality, consistency, and alignment with architectural standards Contribute to the gradual transition from vendor-led to in-house owned development, with the potential to mentor and help grow future team members Build and optimize systems that handle high-throughput, large-scale telemetry data from manufacturing equipment Write robust, well-tested code and contribute to the overall reliability of the platform Collaborate with field, product, and central engineering teams to translate requirements into technical solutions Support and troubleshoot deployed applications, including in on-premises and air-gapped customer environments What You'll Need 5+ years of professional experience as a backend developer Strong proficiency in Go (required) Working proficiency across our core stack: Python, PostgreSQL, gRPC, HTTPS, Kafka, Redis, and Linux; familiarity with React/TypeScript/JavaScript on the frontend; docker/containerization experience Demonstrated ability to own features independently—from design through testing and delivery Experience reviewing and guiding the work of other developers or vendors Experience designing systems for performance and scale, particularly with high-volume, time-critical, and time-series data Comfort working with on-premises and air-gapped deployments Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across distributed teams Nice to Have Experience building AI/ML applications (strongly preferred, but flexible for strong candidates) C#/C++ proficiency (a meaningful plus for this role) Exposure to or interest in semiconductor manufacturing Experience supporting field-deployed or customer-facing software Additional Details Travel: Occasional travel to customer sites or to coordinate in person with field teams may be required. Security & Compliance: This role involves work within secure, air-gapped semiconductor manufacturing environments. Candidates must be able to comply with applicable confidentiality, data security, and export-control requirements. Apply today to be part of what’s next. We make the tech that enables the chips in devices which improve lives around the world. We do this with an eye to the future, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible through cutting-edge innovation, and driving the next wave of technological breakthroughs that shape how we live, work, and connect.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
