HackerRank
About this role
HackerRank's coding challenge library is what most Indian engineers have met at some point on the other side of a hiring process, and this role owns it. Despite the DevRel title this is closer to technical product ownership than to conference talks: you would drive the roadmap for the coding challenge platform, build and manage a global network of subject matter experts who create the challenges, build tooling that scales content delivery, and work with customers on their assessment workflows. HackerRank wants a strong technical foundation across frontend, backend, cloud, AI and ML or DevOps, and 3+ years of software development in modern stacks. It is hybrid in Bangalore. Fairness and validity of assessments are stated as explicit responsibilities.
Who this is for
What the posting asks for:
- 3+ years of software development experience in fast paced environments and modern stacks.
- A strong technical foundation across any of frontend, backend, cloud, AI and ML, or DevOps. The posting names React, Angular, Node, Spring Boot, AWS, Jenkins and generative AI as examples.
- A strategic but hands on product thinker, able to drive execution from concept to delivery.
- Skill at working closely with engineers, speaking their language, and turning complex technical problems into clear product direction.
- Comfort with tools such as GitHub, JIRA, Slack and analytics platforms.
Counts as a bonus:
- Contributions to open source.
- Exposure to open source communities and other developer ecosystems.
- Familiarity with AI driven workflows for scaling products.
The day to day: building and managing a global network of experts who create coding challenges, owning the product roadmap for the coding challenge platform and content ecosystem, building tools that scale content delivery and support emerging technologies, partnering with customers to understand their workflows, using data and automation and AI to streamline content creation and review, and making sure everything shipped holds up on fairness, validity and developer experience.
HackerRank says you will thrive here if you are a builder who likes creating scalable systems from scratch, are not slowed down by ambiguity, care about developer experience, and are energised by collaboration.
Experience: the posting states 3+ years of software development experience.
Location: hybrid in Bangalore, so factor in office days.
Company context: HackerRank is used by over 2,500 companies including NVIDIA, Amazon and Microsoft, and positions itself around skills rather than pedigree.
Who should apply: an engineer around three years in who is drawn to product and content work and wants ownership of a platform millions of developers touch. The honest caveat is that this is not a coding heavy role: the technical foundation is there so you can direct the product credibly, and the day to day is roadmap, tooling and expert network management.
