About this role
Commvault sells enterprise backup, recovery and cyber resilience, and has done for over 25 years across more than 100,000 organisations. That legacy is the technical context: the systems are large, long lived and performance sensitive, and this role is squarely on the backend of them. You design, develop and optimise high performance backend services in modern C++, build for performance, concurrency and efficiency, and design and optimise SQL queries and database schemas for large scale workloads. Linux development and performance optimisation are named requirements. Notably, Commvault lists using AI assisted and agentic coding tools to improve productivity and code quality as an actual responsibility rather than a cultural aspiration. At 4+ years for a role with this much systems depth, it is one of the better value entries in today's list.
Who this is for
Commvault asks for a Bachelor's degree and 4+ years of experience in backend software development, with strong proficiency in C++ and SQL. It also wants a solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, multithreading and system design, experience with Linux development and performance optimisation, and strong ownership, problem solving, communication and mentoring skills. Security and SaaS experience is strongly preferred.
What you will do: build scalable systems with a focus on performance, concurrency and efficiency. Design and optimise SQL queries and database schemas for large scale workloads. Drive technical design and end to end delivery of complex features. Use AI assisted and agentic coding tools to improve development productivity and code quality. Mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions and technical guidance.
Location: Bangalore and Pune are both listed on this requisition.
Benefits named in the posting: employee stock purchase plan, continuous professional development and product training with career pathing, annual health check ups, a car lease programme, tuition reimbursement, personal accident cover and term life cover, and internal Community Guilds.
⚠️ Worth reading before you apply: Commvault opens this posting with a recruitment fraud warning. It states that Commvault does not conduct interviews by email or text and will never ask for sensitive documents such as banking information or national ID numbers before your first day, and gives wwrecruitingteam@commvault.com for reporting suspected scams. Apply through the official link on this page and treat any off channel approach as suspect.
Honest fit guidance: modern C++ plus SQL at depth is a narrower skill set than generic backend, so the 4 year bar is generous only if you actually have the C++. If your background is Java or Python services, this is a harder sell than the years suggest.
