Job description

Location: Pune, India

Overview:

Are you an experienced software engineer (SDE) interested in helping to bootstrap a new software organization at Hershey? Our org is less than 6 months old, and we are looking to hire the first few engineers for a new team in Pune. This is a high-impact position requiring advanced technical skills, leadership, and the ability to drive highly ambiguous projects. We are starting from scratch so you will have a chance to influence decisions about the entire technical stack.

This team will build software across a broad range of problem domains at Hershey, spanning from supply chain to marketing to consumer insights. This is an opportunity to work on challenging problems spanning the breadth of Hershey's business. Because of the extreme ambiguity in direction, you will be expected to pick up new skills and technologies independently. If you value the opportunity to dig into new areas and find the best solutions to bring back to the team then please apply.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and build new software and systems to solve a broad set of business problems.
  • As a senior member of the team, you will work with our business partners to understand the business context of our team’s systems and make appropriate tradeoffs to meet business needs. You will work with the rest of the team to define features that can be owned independently.
  • In addition to hands-on building, you will mentor more junior engineers to deliver features and foster a collaborative, high-performing environment.
  • You are expected to be able to diagnose and fix typical bugs in the team’s codebase and to debug more complex system issues. You produce excellent quality code and help other team members improve their coding.
  • You will also conduct technical interviews as needed as well as participate in and help set norms for the team on call rotation.

Qualifications:

  • 7+ years of experience, with a bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field
  • Experience designing, building, and operating/supporting multiple production software systems.
  • Experience with testing at all levels (unit, integration, functional), and monitoring, alerting, and supporting software systems.
  • Understanding of continuous integration / continuous delivery (CI/CD).
  • Ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring clarity and alignment across teams.
  • Able to work independently.
  • Able to learn new programming languages and frameworks independently.
  • Proven track record of picking up new technology as needed.
