SDE III

Hevo Data builds a data pipeline platform that moves information between systems, and the numbers give a fair sense of the engineering problem: more than 300 billion events a month, over 2,000 customers across 40 plus countries, with brands including Zepto, Curefit, Groww and Cars24 named as users. This SDE III opening is explicitly an individual contributor role, and the posting says so more than once, describing excelling as an individual contributor as part of what you own. The work is building highly maintainable and efficient components, identifying and resolving performance and scalability problems in an increasingly complex enterprise product, improving the overall quality of the code structure, and designing features alongside architects. Scoping, breakdown and implementation are owned independently, and you maintain the documentation for the component you work on. If you have been looking for a senior track that does not quietly become a management track, the framing here is unusually direct about that.

What the posting requires

- 4 to 8 years building scalable, highly critical distributed systems
- Strong object oriented design skills, the ability to apply design patterns, and what the posting calls an uncanny ability to design intuitive modules and class level interfaces
- Strong technical aptitude and good computer science fundamentals
- A B.Tech in computer science or equivalent

What you would actually be doing

- Working on highly maintainable and efficient components and systems
- Excelling as an individual contributor, which the posting names as part of the role rather than a consequence of it
- Identifying and resolving performance and scalability issues in an increasingly complex enterprise product
- Improving the overall quality of the code structure and the product
- Designing features alongside architects
- Owning scoping, breakdown and implementation independently
- Maintaining documentation for the component you work on

The scale behind it

More than 300 billion events a month, 2,000 plus customers across 40 plus countries. At that volume the interesting problems are throughput, correctness and failure behaviour rather than feature breadth.

Location and working pattern

Bangalore.

A good fit if

You have solid backend experience, want data infrastructure at genuinely high event volumes, and specifically want a senior individual contributor track rather than a step toward managing people.

Think twice if

You are looking for people management or team lead responsibility. The posting deliberately points the other way, and independence is a stated expectation rather than something you grow into.
