The role Were hiring Senior Software Engineers to build scalable products, tools, and systems across our portfolio companies. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in hands-on engineering, writes maintainable code, and is deeply motivated by solving real-world problems with technology. Youll work closely with product and engineering colleagues in both Mumbai and London, driving delivery within a specific business. If you're passionate about engineering craft, product-led development, and delivering systems that scale, wed love to hear from you. Behaviours that we look for Solve problems rigorously, not reactively - breaking them down into tractable elements and considering multiple paths to resolution. Write clean, defensive code with clear structure and minimal complexity. Think about testing and observability early, automating meaningful tests and implementing relevant metrics/logging. Design systems for operations, not just development - considering CI/CD, resilience, cost, and scalability from day one. Use data to guide decisions, validating design impact, performance, and real user outcomes. Key responsibilities Working within our Engineering Centre of Excellence in Mumbai, you can expect to: Build and maintain scalable services, data pipelines, and backend systems. Write readable, efficient code and collaborate closely in code reviews. Automate robust test coverage (unit, integration, and/or contract tests). Implement data models used by analysts and ML teams; ensure schema evolution and data integrity are maintained. Participate in system design sessions and contribute to architectural discussions. Debug production issues across multiple services and layers of the stack. Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-aware development practices. Opportunity This is an excellent opportunity for experienced engineers looking to step up their scope and impact. Youll join a collaborative team with exposure to modern engineering practices, GenAI-enabled systems, and business-critical data products. You'll be part of a global network, shaping real customer outcomes. About you We are seeking to onboard candidates with a proven track record in engineering, demonstrating strong technical leadership skills and a passion for building high-quality, scalable products. Excellent teamwork, adaptability, and a strategic mindset are essential to being successful in this role. The Ideal Candidate We are looking for candidates who bring: Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, Java). Experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases; schema design and query optimisation. Comfort with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure (e.g., S3, Redshift, Glue, Synapse). Familiarity with CI/CD practices, automated testing, and observability. Knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and their real-world trade-offs. A proactive mindset: ready to take ownership, iterate fast, and learn continuously. Great communication and teamwork skills particularly in cross-functional settings. Process We have a rigorous, but streamlined recruitment process, which respects the time of candidates and portfolio companies alike. This process starts with a 30-minute call with our Talent Acquisition team and a member of the Engineering Centre of Excellence, followed by further interviews with the Engineering Centre of Excellence team. Please note that our roles are primarily office based, with modern and well-connected office location in Andheri East. .
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.
