HireSetu's note

Java carries the application

The language requirement is the real gate: Java, Scala or something close, plus object-oriented design you can explain out loud. Docker, cloud-native work, NoSQL and CI/CD sit around that core as things you'll pick up while doing the job. SQL is in the same bracket, so writing a join and reading a query plan shouldn't slow you down.

A small Java service with tests, a Dockerfile and readable commit history covers most of the tooling list in one project.

Stand-ups across regions

The team coordinates with groups in other geographies and runs daily stand-ups, so part of the week goes to calls outside your own time zone. The work is feature-level: adding to existing microservices, watching metrics and traces after a deploy, chasing performance problems in cloud applications. You'll be explaining progress to product managers in plain language, so clear written and spoken updates count.

Metrics built in from the start

Observability is listed as a responsibility, not an afterthought. Features go out with metrics and traces that show whether they worked. If your college projects ended at "it runs on my laptop", that habit is the gap to close, and adding a few counters and logs to an old project is a quick way to practise it.

Hybrid in Hyderabad

The posting says hybrid but gives no split. One question about how many days land in the Hyderabad office is fair during the process, since it decides your commute and where you rent.
