What you’ll need:

• B.Tech or M.Tech or equivalent with at least 2.5 years of experience
• Build abstractions and contracts with separation of concerns for a larger scope.
• Extensive programming experience in any one programming language like Java, Ruby, Clojure, Scala, C or C++, SQL, etc
• Strong object-oriented programming skills.
• Experience with multi-threading and concurrency programming
• Ability to work with complex business flows and deal with huge amounts of data.
