Sr. Software Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and proactive software engineer to join our Productivity Team. The ideal candidate will take a technical leadership role in guiding the team, driving best practices, and partnering with cross-functional stakeholders to design and deliver solutions (tools, automation, and services) that enhance organisational efficiency and improve customer experience.

As a lead engineer of this team, you will also mentor a team of engineers and provide hands-on technical guidance and support in building solutions that will eventually be an enabler for different business units.

Responsibilities:

• The tasks are often unstructured, and the issues to handle are less defined, requiring fresh perspectives along with creative approaches.
• To apply experiences and knowledge in solving problems that are complex in nature and need in-depth investigation and evaluation.
• To demonstrate judgement in not only solving the given problems but also identifying problems proactively and suggesting plausible solutions.
• Should be able to design and implement highly performant, scalable systems catering to different internal/external problem statements.
• Drive architecture decisions, code quality standards, and engineering best practices.
• Work closely with engineering, product managers, support, customer success and other teams to understand needs and translate them into actionable technical requirements.
• This individual must work effectively with immediate team members, along with the required stakeholders involved in the project.
• Need to be self-driven, and hence limited supervision and direction are provided, as this individual can operate, drive results and set priorities independently.
• The ideal candidate will be a proactive contributor and subject matter expert.
• To be successful, this individual must demonstrate favourable results through regular leadership and influence.

Requirements:

• 6-8 years of hands-on experience in software development.
• BE/MS in Computer Science or equivalent.
• Prior experience working in a productivity- or solutions (tool/services) focused engineering team is a plus.
• Strong proficiency in one or more programming languages (e. g., Java, Python).
• Experience in architecting, designing and building internal tools, automation, microservices or workflows.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, APIs, databases, and cloud platforms (AWS / Azure).
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to work across the business units.
• Proven experience leading projects, mentoring engineers, or playing a tech lead role.
