Associate Software Engineer, Search

Headquartered in Bhubaneswar, the company runs operations centers in Odisha and two other locations. We process billions of card transactions a year for merchants, banks and software platforms.

The role:

This is a new position created as the team has grown over the last year. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Our headquarters is in Bhubaneswar, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. You will be employed through our employer-of-record partner in the US, with a local contract and salary paid in USD. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

What you'll be doing:

• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.

Qualifications:

• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.

Nice to have:

• Contributions to open source projects.
• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Kubernetes and Docker in production.

Expected salary range: $100,000-$133,000 a year, plus bonus eligibility.

What you get:

• Two weeks of paid leave at year end.
• Health insurance through our employer-of-record partner.
• Paid parental leave.
• Annual salary review.
• Paid sick days.
