Cleartrip - Software Development Engineer II - Microservices Architecture (3-5 yrs)

About the role :

- You will own a functional area from product conception to its delivery to customers.

- You are expected to design and code independently in multiple tech components related to your functional area.

- You must also develop a deep understanding of non-functional requirements, such as reliability and availability, scale, horizontal scalability, etc., over time and make tech stack decisions accordingly.

- You are expected to actively mentor junior engineers and guide them in good development / best practices and maintain a high-quality codebase.

- We are looking for seasoned engineers who are quality conscious, product thinkers, business cognizant, and smart - not mere coders.

- The same scale also demands engineers to produce super-efficient solutions.

What you'll do :

- Own a functional area from product conception to delivery.

- Given a fuzzy product requirement, work with other stakeholders, product to understand & refine the requirements and change them to tech requirements.

- Prepare high-level designs under the guidance and document them.

- Low-level design and code independently in multiple tech components related to functional area.

- Choose the right tech stack for a given situation under guidance from senior team members.

- Optimize any existing microservices.

- Take non-functional requirements (Reliability & Availability, Scale, horizontal scalability) into considerations while taking any decision.

- Build, develop, mentor, and coach junior team members.
