Grow together

As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end ownership and delivery of business-critical API-driven platforms and web applications. You will design, develop, enhance, and support robust REST-based APIs and modern applications while ensuring scalability, maintainability, performance, and security.

You will serve as the technical counterpart to senior design stakeholders, ensuring that proposed user experience solutions are technically feasible, architecturally sound, and efficiently implementable. Your expertise will help bridge the gap between design vision and engineering execution.

You will drive engineering excellence by implementing development standards, ensuring code quality, managing CI/CD pipelines, and promoting secure software delivery practices across the entire development lifecycle.

You will collaborate with global teams, participate in architecture discussions, support integration activities, and contribute to strategic technology decisions that support DHL's digital transformation initiatives.

Ready to embark on the journey? Here’s what we are looking for:

As a Software Engineer, having experience in Java, React, REST APIs development and Spring Boot is a huge plus. Very good knowledge of building secure cloud native applications will also be an integral part of this role.

You are a technology aficionado, therefore exposure to generative and agentic AI or AI-assisted software engineering practices would be an advantage. You are able to work independently, prioritize and organize your tasks under time and workload pressure. Working in a multinational environment, you can expect cross-region collaboration with teams around the globe, thus being advanced in spoken and written English will be certainly useful.

An array of benefits for you

  • Hybrid work arrangements to balance in-office collaboration and home flexibility.
  • Annual Leave: 42 days off apart from Public / National Holidays.
  • Medical Insurance: Self + Spouse + 2 children. An option to opt for Voluntary Parental Insurance (Parents / Parent -in-laws) at a nominal premium covering pre existing disease.
  • In House training programs: professional and technical training certifications

HireSetu's note

Where the bar actually sits

The listing claims any level of proficiency can grow here, then asks for Java, React, Spring Boot and REST API development, plus cloud-native applications built securely. That combination is a working full-stack profile. It reads like a role for someone with a couple of years of delivery behind them, and a fresher whose React and Spring Boot experience is a college project will be measured against people who have shipped and supported services.

Security appears four times in different forms: authentication, authorization, secrets handling and dependency security. Have a concrete answer ready about a token, an API key or a vulnerable library you dealt with. Generative and agentic AI is listed as an advantage, so using Copilot or an LLM assistant in your daily work counts as relevant here.

Two cities, a customs domain and global calls

Indore and Chennai both host this team, and the work is onsite with hybrid arrangements on offer, so the office is part of the week. DHL runs IT from India alongside Germany, Malaysia and the Czech Republic, and the listing is explicit about cross-region collaboration. Meetings timed around European colleagues are the norm in that setup.

The team is Clearance, which at DHL means customs. You would build the APIs and screens that brokers and operations staff use to push shipments through border checks, so uptime matters and the domain carries its own vocabulary around declarations and paperwork. Ask how much of the work is new build against maintaining live services, and how support duty is shared across the team. Those two answers shape the week more than the stack does.
