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.
