SDE I

Round 1: Coding test (Java/Python) → Round 2: Technical interview (system design & coding) → Round 3: HR interview (cultural fit & compensation)

Hevo fosters an inclusive, collaborative environment where engineers are encouraged to experiment and innovate. The company emphasizes work-life balance with flexible working hours and a focus on results over hours. Career growth is supported through mentorship, regular feedback, and opportunities to work on cross-functional projects.

Candidates typically experience a three-round interview process: an initial coding test to assess programming fundamentals, a technical interview focusing on data structures, algorithms, and system design, followed by an HR round to evaluate cultural fit and discuss compensation. The difficulty level is moderate, with emphasis on clean code, problem-solving approach, and communication skills. Preparation with coding practice and mock interviews is highly recommended.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field from a reputed institution. 0-1 years of software development experience, preferably with internships in integrations or data tools. Minimum 60% aggregate or equivalent CGPA. No backlog policy – all backlogs must be cleared before joining.

Under mentorship, you will debug and optimize existing pipelines, improving throughput and reliability. Key Responsibilities: 1. Design, implement, and maintain SaaS connectors for new and existing applications. 2. Build and test REST API endpoints for internal services. 3. Debug performance bottlenecks in data pipelines and propose optimizations. 4. Write clear documentation for new features and bug fixes. 5. Collaborate with product and data teams to understand integration requirements. 6. Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback. 7. Write unit and integration tests to ensure code quality. 8. Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents related to data ingestion. 9. Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering processes. 10. Keep abreast of industry trends in data integration and cloud services. Tech Stack: Java, Python, TypeScript, RESTful APIs, JSON, basic authentication, data pipeline orchestration tools, Git, CI/CD pipelines. Growth Path: Starting as an SDE I, you will progress to SDE II after demonstrating strong coding skills and ownership. Subsequent promotions lead to Senior SDE, Tech Lead, or Architecture roles, with opportunities to influence product direction and mentor junior engineers. Why Join Hevo? The company offers a fast-paced, collaborative environment where you can learn cutting-edge data integration technologies, work on real-world problems, and see the direct impact of your code on millions of users.
