Senior Staff Software Engineer

Druva is hiring a Senior Staff Software Engineer in Pune.

Responsibilities

As a Senior Software Engineer (Development) on the Druva Product Platform team, you will be a core backend engineer responsible for designing, developing, scaling, and operating critical multi-tenant microservices and APIs. You will own complex technical deliverables end-to-end—from architectural documents and high-performance Go/Python implementations to automated CI/CD deployments and production telemetry.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role for an engineer who thrives on distributed systems challenges, concurrency, high data throughput, and building foundational platform services that empower other engineers.

Key Skills:

• 5–8+ years of hands-on experience in software product development, building high-scale distributed systems and SaaS backends.

• Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) and/or Python, with deep understanding of concurrency (goroutines/async I/O), memory management, and data structures.

• Solid experience in designing, building, and maintaining microservices and REST/gRPC APIs in high-throughput multi-tenant environments.

• Deep hands-on experience with AWS Cloud services (such as EKS, EC2, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, SQS, SNS, Lambda) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Strong database expertise across relational engines (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and distributed NoSQL databases (DynamoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch).

• Proven experience with event-driven architectures and message streaming systems (Apache Kafka, AWS SQS/EventBridge).

• Demonstrated ownership of services in production: telemetry/instrumentation (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Datadog), SLI/SLO monitoring, on-call support, and root cause analysis (RCA).

• Solid commitment to lean engineering practices: automated unit/integration testing, CI/CD pipelines, and rigorous peer code reviews.

Desirable Skills:

• Demonstrated experience building multi-tenant platform primitives: tenant isolation, rate limiting/token buckets, quota management, and schema migrations.

• Domain expertise in data protection, backup/recovery, storage systems, virtualization, or cyber resilience (RPO/RTO).

• Knowledge of enterprise authentication and authorization standards (OAuth 2.0, SAML, OIDC, RBAC/ABAC, mTLS).

• Exposure to AI/LLM integration patterns (vector search, prompt engineering pipelines, LLM agent integration).
