If you're passionate about engineering craft, product-led development, and delivering systems that scale, we’d 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. 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.   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. #LI-PS1

Let’s go! 🚀 The Role  As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll build the products our customers rely on every day to make multi-million dollar media decisions. You'll work across the full stack - from crafting responsive, intuitive frontend experiences through to designing and scaling the backend microservices that power them - and, given the seniority of this role, you'll also help shape system design and infrastructure decisions as we scale. You'll work alongside engineers, product managers, and AI agents as part of our AI-first operating model, where lean, high-autonomy teams ship fast and learn faster. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who's comfortable owning a feature end-to-end - from initial design through to production - and who wants to grow their craft in a fast-moving, ambitious environment. Where you'll focus • Frontend development using modern JavaScript frameworks (React.js or Next.js) • Backend development using Python-based microservices • System design and infrastructure, contributing to architectural decisions as we scale • End-to-end feature ownership across the stack • (Nice-to-have) Exposure to Data Science / Data Engineering workflows Key Responsibilities • Design, build, and maintain full stack features - from frontend UI/UX through to backend services and APIs in Python. • Contribute to system design and infrastructure decisions, helping evolve our technical foundations as we scale. • Get involved across the full Software Development Lifecycle, from initial planning and design through execution, release, and monitoring in production. • Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code, and champion good engineering practices across the team. • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to translate requirements into working software. • Build and consume APIs (REST/GraphQL) that connect frontend experiences to backend services. • Work with AI agents as part of our AI-first operating model, using clear specifications to shape high- quality, AI-assisted engineering work. • Take ownership of the quality, performance, and reliability of the features you ship. • Participate in code reviews, giving and receiving candid, constructive feedback. • Stay curious about new tools and technologies, including opportunities to explore Data Science / Data Engineering problems as they arise. What are we looking for? We hire for how you think and how you ship. You should apply if you: • Have around 5+ years of professional experience as a full stack / senior software engineer, with a balanced skill set across frontend, backend, and infrastructure. • Have strong, hands-on experience with front-end technologies such as React.js or Next.js, and solid backend experience building and maintaining Python-based microservices. • Are comfortable contributing to system design and infrastructure decisions, reflecting the seniority of this role. • Are comfortable working across the full stack and can move fluidly between frontend, backend, and infrastructure concerns. • Have solid experience working in an agile environment and know how to embed quality into fast-moving teams. • Bring exceptional attention to detail and a genuine ownership mindset over what you build. • Are enthusiastic about new technologies, with the ability to adapt and learn quickly - we're open to candidates with strong experience in other modern languages/frameworks if the core skill set and seniority are a strong match. • Have an awareness of spec-driven AI development and how clear specifications shape the quality of AI- assisted engineering work. • Have the confidence and initiative to evolve ideas and pull pieces of work together into meaningful change. • Have an active interest in self-learning and growing your craft. • Nice-to-have: exposure to Data Science / Data Engineering (not core to the role, but a strong plus). You don't have to tick every box. If you're a strong engineer who's hungry to step up, we'd still like to hear from you.
