The department is structured into cross-functional, self-organising teams that work together on projects, short and long, alongside product designers and key business stakeholders.

We are looking for a full time Full-Stack Engineer, Software Development to be part of one of our Hyderabad-based cross-functional software development teams, helping to build the software that powers our educational offering. The ideal candidate will have a strong customer focus, a track record of delivering high-quality products in a continuous delivery environment, and an appreciation for clean and simple code. NewGlobe especially values “T-shaped” team members – individuals with expertise in a particular area, but an interest in working across all parts of the technology stack and aspects of delivery.

• Design, implement, and support new products and features
• Ensure software is built with an eye towards quality, maintainability, and scalability
• Collaborate with project sponsors to elaborate requirements and facilitate trade-offs that maximise customer value
• Work with product and development teams to establish overall technical direction and product strategy

• BA/BS in Computer Science or related technical field
• 2+ years of enterprise software development experience in C#, especially .NET Core, and relational databases, especially MS SQL Server and Vue.js in the front end.
• Ability to function well in a fast-paced, informal environment where constant change is the norm and the bar for quality is set high
• Familiarity with continuous delivery practices and tools (e.g Jenkins, Bamboo, GoCD, Octopus)
• Experience in any of the following areas are a plus (and interest a must):

                    Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)

                    Cloud environments (esp. AWS) and Containerisation (Docker)

                     Web stacks associated with single-page applications (SPAs) and progressive web applications (PWAs)

                     Other languages and ecosystems (e.g. NodeJS, Ruby, functional languages, NoSQL DBs)

• NewGlobe is a strong supporter of open source projects – familiarity with OSS projects is a plus; contributions to open source projects is a big plus

• A detailed doer – You have a track record of getting things done. You’re organized and responsive. You take ownership of every idea you touch and execute it to a fine level of detail, set targets, engage others, and do whatever it takes to get the job done. You can multi-task dozens of such projects at once and never lose sight of the details. Likely, you have some experience in a start-up or other rapid-growth company.
• A networking mastermind – You excel at meeting new people and turning them into advocates. You communicate in a clear, conscientious, and effective way in both written and oral speech. You can influence strangers in the course of a single conversation. Allies and colleagues will go to bat for your ideas.
• A creative problem-solver – Growing any business from scratch comes with massive and constant challenges. On top of that, NewGlobe works in volatile, low-resource communities and runs on fees averaging just $6 a month per pupil. You need to be flexible and ready to get everything done effectively, quickly, and affordably with the materials at hand. Every dollar you spend is a dollar our customers, who live on less than $2 a day, will have to pay for.
• A customer advocate – Our customers – these families living on less than $2 a day per person – never leave your mind. You know them, get them, have shared a meal with them (or would be happy to in the future). You would never shrink back from shaking a parent’s hand or picking up a crying child, no matter what the person was wearing or looked like. Every decision you make considers their customer benefit, experience, and value.
• A life-long learner – You believe you can always do better. You welcome constructive criticism and provide it freely to others. You know you only get better tomorrow when others point out where you’ve missed things or failed today.

• 2-3 yrs of strong experience in building mobile web frontend for b2c products using React.
