Engineer - Software & Application Development

HireSetu's note

A band that runs from fresher to four years

The body of the posting puts the range at 0 to 4 years, so a computer science graduate with a decent final-year project sits inside it, and so does someone with three years of experience. The work is described as operational with guidance available, which points to supervised delivery early on and more ownership later. The graduation line is the part that is hard to argue around if your degree is from another branch.

Java on both sides, PostgreSQL behind

Skip the generic wording in the responsibilities and go straight to the tools: Java, React, JSP and PostgreSQL. React sitting next to JSP is a Java shop keeping older pages alive while newer front-end work comes in, so a year on either is useful and neither is wasted. Debugging, bug tracking and production support are named duties, which means reading a stack trace and writing a query you can defend will come up more in your week than fresh feature work. Spend an evening on SQL joins, indexing basics and Java collections.

Details to pin down early

Production support is listed as a duty, so ask what share of the week goes to it against new development, and whether the team runs an on-call rotation or a shift roster. That single answer decides how the job feels. Onsite in Pune is stated, so confirm the office location and whether any part of the week is remote.

The reports and dashboards on project time and rework tell you that delivery metrics get tracked closely, so ask who reads them and how often. Ask which product or platform you would be placed on, because that decides how much of the Java, React, JSP and PostgreSQL mix you actually touch.
