POSITION INFO:

Backend Engineer (Infrastructure as Code) | Mumbai (Hybrid) / Rivonia (On-site) | Permanent

Design and build cloud-native systems that scale with confidence. Take ownership of backend architecture in an environment that values clean engineering, autonomy, and technical depth.

This role sits within a high-performing delivery and governance environment, focused on building resilient, event-driven platforms on Microsoft Azure. You will be responsible for designing and developing backend services using modern .NET, applying domain-driven and clean architecture principles, and provisioning infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code. Working closely with architects, product owners, and fellow engineers, you will contribute to systems that are secure, observable, and built for long-term maintainability.

The environment rewards engineers who ask the right questions, think in systems, and take pride in production-quality code. You will balance hands-on delivery with technical leadership, contributing to solution design, mentoring, and continuous improvement across the engineering team.

The client is a technology-driven organisation delivering complex software solutions at scale. They invest in strong engineering practices, modern cloud platforms, and teams that value collaboration, accountability, and technical excellence.
