Twilio
About this role
Twilio sells the communication plumbing behind other companies' products: the APIs that send an OTP, place a support call, or deliver a notification, used by hundreds of thousands of businesses. This is its explicit new graduate opening in India, and the posting calls the people in it New Grad Software Engineers. The work is real distributed systems: building and running low latency services on AWS, writing unit, integration and load tests, building CI and CD pipelines, and carrying your team's services in production under a DevOps model. Twilio asks for a Bachelor's or Master's in computer science or an equivalent field and no years of experience at all. Apply if you have just graduated, can write Python, C or C plus plus, and have side projects to point at. This is the rarest thing on this board: a genuine first job that is also remote.
Who this is for
Required by the posting: a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or an equivalent field. Understanding and working proficiency in Python, C and C plus plus. Knowledge of networking, operating systems and security. Understanding of unit and integration testing, and the ability to write, debug and deploy testing frameworks. Experience with traditional relational databases such as MySQL, Postgres or Oracle. A keen interest in software development evidenced by side projects, ideally including open source contributions. Desired, not required: Scala, Spark or Java.
The day to day, as the posting describes it: work in a small team, do detailed peer code reviews, tackle distributed computing problems, help build continuous integration and delivery on managed AWS services, operate your team's services in production, write unit, integration and load tests, and build monitoring and alerting.
Location reality: the posting says this role is remote and based in India, but it names five states only, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Maharashtra and New Delhi. If you live outside those, check before you invest time in the application. Twilio describes itself as remote first.
Who should apply: final year students and recent graduates. The posting states plainly that not all applicants will match the description exactly, that Twilio values experience from other industries, and that people whose careers are just starting or have not followed a traditional path are encouraged to apply. It also says the company uses AI in its hiring process while every hiring decision is made by a person. There is no years of experience bar anywhere in this posting, which is what makes it worth your application if you are at zero.
