Position Overview

Were searching for aStaff Engineerto join ourEngineering teamin Bengaluru location. This is a senior technical leadership role built around quality-led AI-first product and quality engineering. You will define and drive the application architecture for our platform designing scalable resilient systems and Angular/React while embedding quality engineering into every architectural decision. Youll champion AI-powered development practices across the entire SDLC set the technical vision for quality at the architecture level and mentor engineering teams on building software that is correct by construction not just tested after the fact. Were looking for someone who sees quality not as a phase but as an architectural property who leads through technical excellence and who thrives at the intersection of product engineering quality engineering and AI-driven innovation.

Required Skills:

• Education: BE B. Tech M. Tech Only

• Proven experience designing and owning application architectures: service decomposition API design data modelling and system integration patterns.
• Strong proficiency in microservice architecture event-driven programming async design patterns and distributed systems.
• Extensive experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and Web APIs with a focus on contract-first design.
• Strong knowledge of HTML5 CSS3 and modern JavaScript/TypeScript for building robust accessible user interfaces.
• Solid experience with relational databases (SQL Server MySQL PostgreSQL) including schema design query optimisation and performance tuning.
• Expert-level quality engineering mindset: deep experience with test automation frameworks unit/integration/end-to-end testing contract testing and performance/load testing at the architecture level.
• Proven ability to embed quality gates in CI/CD pipelines linting static analysis test coverage thresholds security scanning and automated regression.
• Strong understanding of quality management principles: defect prevention strategies root cause analysis test planning quality metrics and continuous quality improvement across the product lifecycle.

What Youll Do

• Own and evolve the application architecture for full-stack systems built (C# Core) and Angular/React ensuring scalability maintainability and quality by design.
• Design quality-first architectures: embed testability observability fault isolation and graceful degradation as first-class architectural concerns not afterthoughts.
• Define and drive the AI-first engineering strategy: establish standards for AI-powered development tools (e.g. Claude GitHub Copilot AI code-review/test-generation tools) and AI SDLC best practices across engineering teams.
• Design and build microservice-based event-driven systems with async design patterns ensuring resilience loose coupling and horizontal scalability.
• Lead the quality engineering practice at the architecture level: define test automation strategies contract testing frameworks performance/load testing architectures and shift-left quality gates embedded in CI/CD pipelines.
• Establish and enforce coding standards design patterns and architectural decision records (ADRs) that raise the quality bar across all product engineering teams.
• Collaborate with product managers engineering leads QA leadership and stakeholders to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions and architectural roadmaps.
