Databricks – Engineer

Round 1: Online Aptitude Test → Round 2: Technical Interview (Data Engineering concepts, coding in PySpark/Python) → Round 3: HR Interview

IRIS Software promotes a collaborative environment where learning and innovation are encouraged. Employees receive regular upskilling opportunities, mentorship programs, and a balanced work‑life schedule. The firm is known for transparent career progression and a supportive leadership team.

Candidates typically face a three‑stage process: an online aptitude test covering quantitative, logical and verbal sections, followed by a technical interview that probes data‑pipeline design, PySpark coding and knowledge of Kafka/Deltalake, and finally an HR round assessing cultural fit and communication. The difficulty is moderate; thorough preparation on core data‑engineering tools and clear articulation of project experiences are key.

Degree: B.E. / B.Tech in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, Telecommunication or any related engineering branch. Minimum aggregate: 60% (or equivalent CGPA). Batch: 2026 (or graduating in 2026). No active backlogs at the time of application. Freshers eligible as per recruitment summary; candidates should verify any additional criteria on the official portal.
