Your customers happen to be other engineers, so you care about how the platform feels to use, not just whether it works. You believe a platform should be a set of robust, resilient, and intuitive libraries rather than a collection of scripts, and you're curious about where people get stuck and why. You're eager to use AI-assisted development tools to move faster, improve the developer experience, and make the platform more reliable. What skills or experience do I need? 3+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping complex backend systems Strong skills in at least one modern backend programming language Working knowledge of relational and non-relational databases Solid understanding of cloud native or cloud hybrid solutions A product mindset toward internal tooling — you seek out feedback from the engineers using what you build and iterate on it Comfort using AI-powered engineering tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar) in your day-to-day workflow Nice to have Familiarity with our tech stack — Node.js, Go, TypeScript, React, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, Postgres, AWS Prior experience developing tools that improve the developer experience Experience building CI/CD pipelines and working with containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes) Side projects or personal builds where you owned something end to end, from idea to real users Key Responsibilities Write and maintain clean, high-quality, efficient, and well-tested code that aligns with project specifications Design and implement the abstractions that bridge the gap between software engineering and DevOps Talk to the engineers who use the platform, find where they lose time, and help turn that into prioritized work Partner with Product and Engineering counterparts to build tooling that teams actually adopt Develop and maintain technical documentation that helps engineers self-serve Use AI-assisted tooling and automation workflows to improve developer productivity, accelerate troubleshooting, and strengthen platform reliability Key Collaborators Engineering DevOps Product Management Working At Tulip We're building a strong, diverse team that values hard work, families, and personal well-being.

144.883Jobs
31.687IN

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.
