About Blitzy

Blitzy is a Cambridge, MA based AI software development platform on a mission to revolutionize the software development life cycle by autonomously building custom software to unlock the next industrial revolution. We're transforming how enterprises build software, turning enterprise requirements into production-ready code with an agentic software development platform that can autonomously execute 80% of the quantum of software development work. We're backed by multiple tier 1 investors, and have proven success as founders of previous start-ups.

Location: Pune, India (in-person role, HQ2)

The Role

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Pune HQ2 team, thriving at the intersection of cutting-edge AI technology and real-world enterprise software challenges. You'll embed directly with customer engineering teams, helping them revolutionize their software development with Blitzy.

This isn't a typical solutions engineer role. You'll write production code, architect solutions, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with customer engineering teams to deliver transformative outcomes. You're equally comfortable debugging a complex integration, participating in sprint planning, or whiteboarding architecture with a CTO.

This role centers on our Java/Spring Boot enterprise stack — from core REST services and event-driven microservices to production operations — and requires close collaboration with our US-based engineering and customer teams, including time zone overlap for handoffs.

What Success Looks Like

• You deploy Blitzy into complex enterprise environments, navigating technical constraints while delivering immediate value
• You write custom integrations and extensions — built on Java 17 and Spring Boot 3.x — that unlock new use cases for customers
• You translate ambitious business goals into concrete technical implementations using Blitzy's AI capabilities
• You identify patterns across customer needs that influence our product roadmap
• You become a trusted technical advisor to engineering leaders, earning their confidence through hands-on expertise
• You drive successful POCs that expand into enterprise-wide deployments
• You contribute code and insights back to our core platform based on field experience

Areas of Ownership

Customer Partnership

• Embed with customer teams during critical implementations, serving as their technical co-pilot
• Participate in customer sprint planning, architecture reviews, and technical decision-making
• Build custom solutions that demonstrate Blitzy's capabilities in their specific environment

Technical Implementation

• Write production-quality Java 17 / Spring Boot 3.x services (Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, Actuator) to integrate Blitzy with existing enterprise systems
• Build and evolve REST APIs using a contract-first approach with OpenAPI/Swagger
• Own data persistence with PostgreSQL, Hibernate/JPA, and Liquibase-managed database migrations
• Package and deploy containerized services with Docker, managing dependencies through Maven (BOM and multi-module projects)
• Develop reusable patterns, scripts, and tools that accelerate customer adoption
• Debug complex issues spanning customer infrastructure and our platform
• Create technical demos that showcase advanced use cases

Quality & Production Operations

• Write thorough test coverage using JUnit 5, Cucumber/Gherkin, and JMeter for performance validation
• Maintain code quality and observability with Git, Logback/SLF4J, SpotBugs, and SonarQube
• Support microservice architectures and production operations, including health checks, metrics, and configuration management

Strategic Impact

• Decompose executive vision into actionable engineering roadmaps
• Identify expansion opportunities within accounts based on technical insights
• Collaborate with our product team to prioritize features based on field experience
• Contribute to our technical documentation and best practices

Required Experience

• 4–10 years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production code
• Strong hands-on experience with Java 17 (must-have)
• Spring Boot 3.x expertise, including Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, and Actuator
• PostgreSQL and Hibernate/JPA for data persistence
• Maven for dependency management (BOM and multi-module projects)
• Liquibase for database migrations
• REST API development using a contract-first/OpenAPI approach with Swagger
• Docker for containerized services
• Testing and performance tooling: JUnit 5, Cucumber/Gherkin, and JMeter
• Git, Logback/SLF4J, and static analysis tools such as SpotBugs and SonarQube
• Familiarity with microservice architectures and Spring Boot production operations (health checks, metrics, configuration)
• Deep understanding of modern software development practices (CI/CD, microservices, cloud architecture)
• Experience with enterprise development workflows, including Agile/Scrum methodologies
• Strong communication skills, with time zone overlap to support handoffs with our US-based teams—you can explain technical concepts to anyone from intern to CTO
• Must be based in or willing to work in-person from Pune, India

What Makes You Stand Out

• Jakarta EE experience, particularly Spring Boot 3 migrations
• Caching experience using Spring Cache
• Familiarity with Apache HttpClient 5
• Enterprise modernization experience: Java 8 → Java 17 upgrades and monolith → microservices migrations
• Exposure to event-driven architecture, including Spring Kafka, Apache Kafka consumers, dead-letter topics (DLT), and retry patterns
• Experience with Confluent Schema Registry and Apache Avro, including schema evolution and contract-first integrations
• Familiarity with Spring RestClient, Testcontainers, WireMock, and JaCoCo
• Observability experience with Micrometer and Dynatrace
• Exposure to Saga orchestration, resilience/retry patterns, Kubernetes, or the WSO2 API Gateway
• Experience at high-growth startups or in customer-facing engineering roles
• Background in AI/ML, developer tools, or enterprise modernization projects
• Track record of technical thought leadership (blogs, talks, open source contributions)
• Passion for the future of AI-powered software development

What Makes This Role Different

• Production Code, Real Stakes: Unlike traditional FDE roles that focus on configuration and support, you'll be writing production Java/Spring Boot code that directly impacts customer success and enterprise deals you can see the outcome of.
• Frontier AI Work: You'll shape AI adoption at the frontier of what's possible with generative AI—working with a platform that generates complete applications, not just code snippets.
• Influence the Roadmap: You'll influence product direction through direct field experience, feeding real customer insight back into our roadmap.
• Onsite Opportunities: High performers are eligible for company-sponsored trips to our Cambridge, MA headquarters based on business needs, with potential international transfer support for top talent.
• Full Employment Package: This is a full-time role directly with our Private Limited Company in Pune. Benefits include medical insurance, participation in the company stock option program, Employer Provident Fund contributions with gratuity after 5 years, technology allowance, meal provision, and a beautiful office environment.
• Clear Growth Path: Flexibility to transition into core product or platform engineering as Blitzy scales.
