If you're passionate about engineering craft, product-led development, and delivering systems that scale, we’d love to hear from you.\nBehaviours that we look for \nSolve problems rigorously, not reactively - breaking them down into tractable elements and considering multiple paths to resolution.\nWrite clean, defensive code with clear structure and minimal complexity.\nThink about testing and observability early, automating meaningful tests and implementing relevant metrics/logging.\nDesign systems foroperations, not just development - considering CI/CD, resilience, cost, and scalability from day one.\nUse data to guide decisions, validating design impact, performance, and real user outcomes.\nKey responsibilities\nWorking within our Engineering Centre of Excellence in Mumbai, you can expect to:\nBuild and maintain scalable services, data pipelines, and backend systems.\nWrite readable, efficient code and collaborate closely in code reviews.\nAutomate robust test coverage (unit, integration, and/or contract tests).\nImplement data models used by analysts and ML teams; ensure schema evolution and data integrity are maintained.\nParticipate in system design sessions and contribute to architectural discussions.\nDebug production issues across multiple services and layers of the stack.\nContribute to CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-aware development practices.\nOpportunity\nThis is an excellent opportunity for experienced engineers looking to step up their scope and impact. You’ll 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.\nAbout you\nWe 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.\nThe Ideal Candidate\nWe are looking for candidates who bring:\nStrong proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, Java).\nExperience with both SQL and NoSQL databases; schema design and query optimisation.\nComfort with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure (e.g., S3, Redshift, Glue, Synapse).\nFamiliarity with CI/CD practices, automated testing, and observability.\nKnowledge of data structures, algorithms, and their real-world trade-offs.\nA proactive mindset: ready to take ownership, iterate fast, and learn continuously.\nGreat communication and teamwork skills - particularly in cross-functional settings.\nProcess\nWe 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.\nPlease note that our roles are primarily office based, with modern and well-connected office location in Andheri East.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4575,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T15:50:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.332,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":98,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T19:51:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/blenheimchalcot-senior-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/blenheimchalcot-senior-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T19:51:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32149,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4418516},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4418516"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fblenheimchalcot-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fblenheimchalcot-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fblenheimchalcot-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/blenheimchalcot-senior-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fblenheimchalcot-senior-software-engineer"}]}
