Senior Software Engineer – AI-Augmented Software Development||REMOTE

Job Description Experience Required: 6+ years Employment Type: Full-time About the Role We're looking for a hands-on Senior engineer who primarily focuses on building high-quality software, with strong capabilities in evaluating code quality and owning end-to-end delivery across the SDLC . This person will work extensively with AI-assisted development tools and will be accountable for ensuring every deliverable — whether built internally, by vendors, or with AI assistance — meets high standards of correctness, quality, security, and compliance. You'll be the connective tissue between development, QA, the AI SDLC framework, vendors, and clients — driving execution while holding the line on engineering excellence. Key Responsibilities Development- Primary Responsibility ● Write, review, and refactor production-grade code across the stack as needed ● Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery without compromising quality or introducing technical debt ● Set and model engineering best practices: clean architecture, maintainability, performance, and scalability Quality & Security ● Review deliverables with a QA mindset — functional correctness, edge case coverage, regression risk, and test adequacy ● Conduct security-focused code reviews (secure coding practices, common vulnerability classes, dependency risk, data handling) ● Define and enforce quality gates and Definition-of-Done criteria across the SDLC ● Ensure compliance with relevant coding, security, and regulatory standards Delivery & Orchestration ● Own the complete SDLC lifecycle — planning, development, testing, deployment, and release ● Coordinate across development teams, QA, and the AI SDLC framework/tooling to keep delivery on track ● Act as the primary technical point of contact for vendors and clients, translating requirements and validating vendor deliverables against internal quality bars ● Identify bottlenecks or risks across teams/departments and drive them to resolution proactively ● Report on delivery health, quality metrics, and risk status to stakeholders Required Skills ● Programming Languages: Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Python, C#, Go, or similar); ability to read and reason about code in adjacent languages is a plus ● Software Design & Architecture: Solid grasp of design patterns, clean code principles, and system/API design ● Testing & QA Practices: Familiarity with unit, integration, and end-to-end testing frameworks; ability to assess test coverage and quality, not just write tests ● Test Automation Frameworks: Hands-on experience with at least one automated testing framework such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar — able to write, review, and evaluate automated test suites as part of the quality gate ● Security Fundamentals: Working knowledge of secure coding practices and common vulnerability classes (e.g., OWASP Top 10), plus basics of dependency and data-handling risk ● AI-Assisted Development Tools: Hands-on experience with tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar ● Version Control & CI/CD: Practical experience with Git-based workflows and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar) ● Cloud & Infrastructure Basics: Working familiarity with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization basics (Docker) ● Code Review & Static Analysis: Comfort using or setting up static analysis, linting, and code quality tools (e.g., SonarQube, ESLint, or similar) ● Communication & Stakeholder Coordination: Ability to clearly communicate technical decisions and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders (dev, QA, vendors, clients) Required Qualifications ● 6+ years of professional software development experience, with strong hands-on coding ability in at least one modern stack ● Demonstrated experience reviewing others' code for quality, logic correctness, and security — not just writing code ● Solid understanding of secure coding practices and common vulnerability patterns (e.g., OWASP Top 10 or equivalent) ● Experience working with or evaluating AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) ● Proven experience coordinating cross-functional stakeholders — development, QA, vendors, and clients ● Strong understanding of SDLC methodologies (Agile/Scrum, CI/CD pipelines, release management) ● Excellent communication skills to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders Preferred Qualifications ● Prior experience in a technical ownership, architect, or cross-team coordination capacity ● Experience working within an AI-augmented SDLC framework (AI-assisted pipelines with human review checkpoints) ● Vendor management or client-facing delivery experience What Success Looks Like ● Deliverables consistently meet quality, security, and compliance bars before release ● Cross-team handoffs (dev → QA → vendor → client) happen with minimal friction or rework ● AI tooling is used effectively to boost velocity without introducing quality or security regressions ● Stakeholders (internal and client-side) trust this person as the final technical checkpoint before sign-off Package offered- 30 LPA Pay: ₹2,000,000.00 - ₹3,000,000.00 per year Work Location: Remote
