Software Dev Engineer II

As an SDE II at Swiggy, you will design, build, and own large-scale, high-concurrency backend

systems that power products used by millions of customers every day. You will take services

from a blank page to production - defining the architecture, making the technology choices, and

owning reliability, performance, and scale end to end. You will co-drive your team’s technical

vision, raise the bar on engineering quality, and mentor other developers as they grow. Equally

important, our platforms are increasingly intelligent: you will build and integrate LLM-driven and

agentic AI workflows into these systems, collaborating with product and business teams to

translate product features into agent-driven, production-grade designs. We are looking for a

strong systems engineer with solid AI experience - someone who thinks deeply about data

modeling, distributed systems, and what it takes to keep services fast and dependable under

real-world load, and who knows how to bring LLM-powered capabilities into that world reliably.

Job Description What qualities are we looking for?

• B Tech/M Tech in Computer Science or equivalent from a reputed college with a minimum of 3-5 years of experience in a product development company.
• Proven experience designing and building distributed, high-concurrency, low-latency

backend systems at scale.

• Has built multiple services from scratch and owned them end to end - architecture,

development, deployment, monitoring, and on-call operations.

• Strong grasp of scalability fundamentals: caching, queuing/async processing, sharding and

partitioning, replication, load balancing, rate limiting, and fault tolerance.

• Strong design skills involving data modeling, low-level class design, API design, and

system design.

• Good knowledge of object-oriented programming, concurrency primitives, and design

patterns.

• Proficiency in at least one programming language - Python, Java, Golang.
• Hands-on experience with relational and NoSQL databases, messaging systems (e.g.,

Kafka, SQS), and Linux/Unix platforms.

• Follows industry coding standards and is responsible for writing maintainable, scalable,

and efficient code to solve business problems.

• A strong team player who has mentored junior developers and helped raise the technical

bar of the team.

• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic

(Claude), Bedrock, and Azure OpenAI into production systems.

• Practical experience with LangChain or LangGraph for building AI-driven workflows and

orchestration; exposure to agentic/multi-agent architectures preferred.

• Strong technical aptitude and good knowledge of CS fundamentals.

What will you get to do here?

• Architect and build new backend services from the ground up, and evolve existing systems for higher scale, concurrency, and reliability.
• Own end-to-end architecture for your team’s systems and implement the long-term

technology vision for your team.

• Come up with best practices to help the team achieve their technical tasks and continually

improve the technology of the product/team.

• Drive the adoption of best practices through regular participation in code reviews, design

reviews, and architecture discussions.

• Mentor and guide developers on the team through design feedback, pairing, and code

reviews.

• Design and ship AI-driven and agentic workflows within your services, and experiment with

new and relevant technologies and tools, driving adoption while measuring yourself on the

impact you create.

• Decide technology and tool choices for your team and be responsible for them.

Qualifications B Tech/M Tech in Computer Science or equivalent from a reputed college with minimum 3 – 5 years of experience in product development company.
