HireSetu's note

Degree first, then one frontend framework

The B.Tech in computer science, IT or a related discipline is a firm minimum, and it sits right under the qualification heading, which tells you it gets checked early. After that, the requirement that carries weight is JavaScript and TypeScript with React or Angular. Node.js needs working knowledge, and understanding is enough for REST, GraphQL, MySQL and MongoDB.

Python, FastAPI, Docker, AWS/Azure and CI/CD are all in the preferred list, so they add to an application without being the gate. RAG, semantic search and LLM-based applications appear the same way: exposure helps, no experience there won't rule you out.

If your degree is in electronics or another non-CS branch, this is a harder sell than the listing's friendly tone lets on. If you have built and deployed anything with React or Angular, even a college project, you are in the range they are describing.

Who this suits

Trainee plus 0 to 2 years means a fresher, or someone with an internship and a year behind them. The stack listed is wide: two frontend frameworks, Node, two databases, both REST and GraphQL. No team runs all of that through one person, so plan on being placed on a slice of the platform, most likely a frontend module or a services piece, and ask which during the call.

Chennai is the location and the work is team-based, with code reviews, QA handoffs and Scrum ceremonies as the daily rhythm. Ask whether the trainee position converts to a full-time role and on what timeline, since that shapes your next year more than the tech list does.

Have one project you can walk through end to end: the data flow, what broke, how you tracked it down. Code reviews, debugging and documentation are routine here, so explaining your own code cleanly counts for more than naming frameworks.
