Senior Software Engineer

A straightforward senior product engineering role at Tekion's Bengaluru office, and the qualification list is refreshingly free of buzzwords. It asks for expertise in one or more of Java, Python, JavaScript or C++, a strong understanding of distributed systems, cloud native services and performance optimisation, plus real experience with microservices, containerisation and a major cloud. The work is leading feature development from concept to deployment, contributing to architectural decisions alongside architects and senior engineers, mentoring, running code reviews and setting engineering standards. Tekion's platform connects manufacturers, dealers and consumers through one system, so the scale problems are integration heavy. Worth knowing before you apply: Tekion uses the same titles for different jobs across its offices, so check the city and read the body rather than trusting the title.

Required by the posting: 5 to 7 years of experience in software engineering. A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. Expertise in one or more modern programming languages, with Java, Python, JavaScript and C++ named. Strong understanding of distributed systems, cloud native services and performance optimisation. Experience with microservices, containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). Excellent problem solving, mentorship and communication skills. A proven track record of delivering production grade software and improving team effectiveness.

The real day to day: designing and building scalable, high performance systems and services; leading feature development from concept to deployment with responsibility for quality, performance and maintainability; collaborating with architects and senior engineers to influence system design and technical strategy; mentoring junior engineers; conducting code reviews and setting engineering standards; and identifying and resolving bottlenecks in production and development.

Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka.

Benefits named on Tekion's postings: competitive compensation, generous stock options, and medical insurance coverage.

Honest fit guidance: this is a clean senior individual contributor role with mentoring attached rather than people management, and the requirement list is generic enough that a strong backend or full stack engineer at 5 to 7 years is a genuine fit. One caution specific to Tekion: it runs multiple requisitions with identical or near identical titles across Bengaluru and Chennai at different experience bands, so confirm which requisition and which city you are being interviewed for. The company also runs a separate Lead Software Engineer role at 6 to 9 years, so there is a visible next step.
