This is the backend counterpart to Showpad's senior integrations role and the requirements are specific enough to self assess against quickly. The stack is TypeScript and Go with deep AWS serverless experience, and the posting names the exact services: CDK, EventBridge, SQS and Secrets Manager. The architecture requirement is the interesting one, asking for expertise designing decoupled event driven systems and an understanding of the critical trade offs of distributed systems, which is the honest way to describe integration work at scale, where retries, ordering and partial failure are the daily problems. Observability is also called out as a first class skill rather than an afterthought, naming Datadog, OpenTelemetry, structured logging and distributed tracing. Note the six year figure is lower than the staff title would usually suggest. Who it is for: ABOUT YOU, AS PUBLISHED - A bachelor's degree in information technology, computer science or software engineering, plus 6+ years of software engineering experience. - Deep expertise in TypeScript and Go. - Extensive experience with AWS, specifically serverless architectures, CDK, EventBridge, SQS and Secrets Manager. - Expert in designing decoupled, event driven architectures, with an understanding of the critical trade offs of distributed systems. - Highly proficient in application observability: Datadog, OpenTelemetry, structured logging and distributed tracing. - Working knowledge of using AI first coding assistants. WHAT THE JOB ACTUALLY IS Owning the backend of Showpad's integration platform, which connects its sales enablement product to the other systems customers run. The named AWS services point at a serverless, event driven design where SQS and EventBridge carry the work and Secrets Manager holds third party credentials. A NOTE ON THE TITLE VERSUS THE YEARS The title says Staff Engineer but the stated bar is six years, only one more than the company's Senior Engineer role in the same team. Titles are local convention rather than a universal level, and this is a clear example: do not rule yourself out of a staff title on years alone. LOCATION AND WORKING PATTERN Pune. Office days are not stated. HONEST FIT GUIDANCE TypeScript and Go together is the real gate, as is genuine AWS serverless depth rather than general AWS familiarity. If you have run an event driven integration platform and can talk about how you handled retries, idempotency and poison messages, that is the conversation this posting is inviting. .
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

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.
