Your Role at impact.com : You'll join the Shared Services and Infrastructure team as we scale the platform layer to support 600+ product engineers. Right now, the infrastructure that powers everything - Kubernetes clusters, VPCs, compute, storage, shared services - is the single point of failure for every developer-facing capability the platform team builds. You'll be a core contributor to designing, deploying and operating that substrate. You'll write production-quality Java code, own implementation of infrastructure abstractions, operate mission-critical systems, and work alongside senior engineers to continuously improve how the platform scales. This is solid mid-level infrastructure engineering work: enough ownership to move the needle, enough guidance to keep growing. What You'll Do: Implement infrastructure abstractions that service teams use to express their requirements: translating high-level requests into IaC parameters and production-grade deployments based on designs and guidance from senior engineers. Deploy and operate platform-layer infrastructure: VPCs, compute pools, storage, Kubernetes clusters and the networking that connects them, using IaC modules provided by Cloud Operations. Own the operation and maintenance of managed pub/sub messaging systems (e.g. Kafka) that service teams depend on. Consume Cloud Operations' IaC modules effectively and feed back operational lessons and enhancement requests. Write production-quality Java code that implements infrastructure abstractions, with security and best practices baked in by design. Contribute to the team's infrastructure standards and practices: participate in code reviews, help improve operational runbooks, and share lessons learned. What You Bring: 1–2+ years of software development experience with Java or similar languages. Strong software-engineering fundamentals: you write clean, testable code and understand how to build reliable systems. 1+ year of hands-on experience deploying software to and operating in a cloud environment. Comfort with Linux command line and solid understanding of network and cloud computing concepts. Familiarity with IaC concepts and hands-on experience with IaC or GitOps tools such as Terraform, Argo CD or equivalent. A collaborative approach: you work well with senior engineers, ask good questions, and incorporate feedback. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field, or equivalent professional experience. Benefits and Perks: At impact.com, we believe that when you’re happy and fulfilled, you do your best work. That’s why we’ve built a benefits package that supports your well-being, growth, and work-life balance. Flexible Working: Our Responsible PTO policy means you can take the time off you need to rest and recharge. We're committed to a positive work-life balance and provide a flexible environment that allows you to be happy and fulfilled in both your career and your personal life. Health and Wellness: Your well-being is a priority. Our mental health and wellness benefit includes up to 12 fully covered therapy/coaching sessions per year , with additional dependent coverage. We also offer a monthly gym reimbursement policy to support your physical health. A Stake in Our Growth: We offer Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) as part of our total compensation, giving you a stake in the company's growth with a 3-year vesting schedule, pending Board approval. Investing in Your Growth: We’re committed to your continuous learning. Take advantage of our free Coursera subscription and our PXA courses. Parental Support: We offer a generous parental leave policy, 26 weeks of fully paid leave for the primary caregiver and 13 weeks fully paid leave for the secondary caregiver. Technology Financial Support: We provide a technology stipend to help you set up your home office and a monthly allowance to cover your internet expenses impact.com is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.

144,883 engineer jobs are open right now

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

144.883Jobs
31.687IN
81%EN

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.
