Blitzy is a Cambridge, MA based AI software development platform on a mission to revolutionize the software development life cycle by autonomously building custom software to unlock the next industrial revolution. We're transforming how enterprises build software, turning enterprise requirements into production-ready code with an agentic software development platform that can autonomously execute 80% of the quantum of software development work. We're backed by multiple tier 1 investors, and have proven success as founders of previous start-ups.
Our Culture
Who we are:
Led by two pioneering co-founders we are one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S., creating our own category of enterprise autonomous software development. We automate thousands of hours of software development for our customers, which includes strong representation within the Fortune 500.
How we work:
- We move Blitzy Fast: Time is both our company’s and our clients’ most precious asset. We move quickly and decisively to innovate internally and deliver exceptional software externally.
- Championship Mindset: We operate like a professional sports team. We win as a team by holding ourselves and each other to high standards, collaborating in-person, and remaining focused on the mission.
- Passion for Invention: We’re pushing the frontier of what’s possible, requiring constant innovation and iteration.
- We Work for the Customer: We focus on delivering outsized value to the customers we work with and expanding those relationships into deep, meaningful partnerships.
- We believe in being ‘everyday athletes’: taking care of ourselves so we can bring our best minds to work. We promote great sleep, movement, and restorative activities for optimal mental performance. It makes for a happier and more productive team.
About the Role
We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Pune HQ2 team and work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and complex enterprise software. You'll embed directly with customer engineering teams, writing production code, architecting solutions, and helping customers transform how they build software with Blitzy.
This isn't a traditional solutions engineering role. We're looking for a hands-on engineer who thrives in ambiguous environments and is equally comfortable debugging integrations, building Java/Spring Boot services, participating in sprint planning, or whiteboarding architecture with a CTO.
The role centers on our Java/Spring Boot enterprise stack, spanning REST services, event-driven microservices, integrations, and production operations. You'll work closely with US-based engineering and customer teams, with regular time zone overlap for collaboration and handoffs.
You'll also influence our product roadmap through direct customer feedback, identifying new use cases and technical challenges that shape Blitzy's evolution. High performers may have opportunities to visit our Cambridge, MA headquarters and transition into core product or platform engineering as we scale.
Responsibilities
- Deploy Blitzy into complex enterprise environments, navigating technical constraints and translating customer business goals into practical technical solutions
- Embed with customer teams during critical implementations, partnering with engineering leaders on sprint planning, architecture reviews, technical decisions, and production deployments
- Build production-quality integrations, services, and extensions using Java 17 and Spring Boot 3.x, including Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, and Actuator
- Build and evolve REST APIs using a contract-first approach with OpenAPI/Swagger, with data persistence through PostgreSQL, Hibernate/JPA, and Liquibase
- Package and deploy containerized services with Docker and manage dependencies through Maven, including BOMs and multi-module projects
- Develop custom solutions, reusable patterns, scripts, and tools that accelerate customer adoption and demonstrate Blitzy’s capabilities in enterprise environments
- Debug complex issues spanning customer infrastructure, integrations, microservices, and the Blitzy platform, supporting production operations, health checks, metrics, and configuration management
- Drive successful POCs and technical demonstrations that showcase advanced use cases, deliver measurable value, and expand into enterprise-wide deployments
- Maintain high standards for testing, code quality, performance, and observability using JUnit 5, Cucumber/Gherkin, JMeter, Git, Logback/SLF4J, SpotBugs, and SonarQube
- Identify recurring customer needs, technical patterns, and expansion opportunities that inform product priorities and enterprise adoption
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate field experience into platform improvements, technical documentation, reusable best practices, and contributions to the core product
Qualifications
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production code in enterprise environments
- Recent or past experience in global technology consulting environments, with direct engagement with the customer's engineering leadership teams.
- Deep hands-on expertise with Java 17, Spring Boot 3.x, Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, Hibernate/JPA, and Actuator
- Strong experience with REST APIs, OpenAPI/Swagger, PostgreSQL, Liquibase, Maven, Docker, and modern testing practices including JUnit 5, Cucumber/Gherkin, and JMeter
- Experience building and operating microservices with CI/CD, cloud architecture, observability, production monitoring, and tools such as Micrometer, Dynatrace, SpotBugs, and SonarQube
- Knowledge of enterprise modernization and distributed systems, including Java 8 → Java 17 upgrades, monolith → microservices migrations, Kafka, Avro, Schema Registry, caching, and resilience patterns
- Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum and modern software development practices, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to audiences ranging from interns to CTOs
- Experience in customer-facing engineering, developer tools, AI/ML, or enterprise modernization is a plus, along with technical thought leadership through blogs, talks, or open-source contributions
- Passion for AI-powered software development and willingness to work in person from Pune, India, with overlap for US-based teams
