Software Dev Engineer I [Native iOS]

Swiggy’s interview process typically begins with a timed online coding test focusing on arrays, strings, and algorithmic problem solving. Successful candidates move to a technical interview where they discuss iOS fundamentals, design patterns, and may be asked to write code on a whiteboard or shared editor. The final HR round evaluates cultural fit, communication skills, and alignment with Swiggy’s values. Preparation should include strong Swift knowledge, system design basics, and mock coding sessions.

Swiggy promotes a fast‑paced, collaborative environment where engineers are encouraged to experiment and own end‑to‑end features. The company offers clear growth ladders, mentorship programs, and regular tech talks, fostering continuous learning. While the workload can be intense during product launches, flexible hybrid work options and wellness initiatives help maintain a reasonable work‑life balance.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication, or related engineering discipline (Master's preferred). Minimum 60% aggregate or CGPA 6.0/10. Graduating batch 2024‑2026 (or recent graduate). No active backlogs at the time of joining. Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and object‑oriented programming.

Round 1: Online coding assessment (DSA & problem solving) → Round 2: Technical interview (iOS concepts, system design, coding) → Round 3: HR interview (culture fit, expectations)
