Staff Software Engineer

Job Location: Chennai, India

Our Department: AECO / Owner & Public Sector

Are you a visionary engineer who can architect scalable Cloud SaaS platforms while redefining engineering speed through agentic AI workflows?

Trimble is seeking a Software Engineer 4 (Staff Software Engineer) to serve as a technical anchor for our Owner & Public Sector division in India. In this architect-level role, you will provide the technical vision for complex, large-scale infrastructure solutions while pioneering a new era of engineering productivity.

You will lead the transition to an AI-augmented Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC) at scale. This involves:

• Architectural Leadership: Designing resilient, high-availability Cloud SaaS architectures that support the digital backbone of public infrastructure.

• Agentic Workflow Design: Beyond just using coding assistants, you will architect systems that integrate AI agents into the fabric of our development—automating complex refactoring, parallelizing execution, and creating "self-healing" CI/CD pipelines.

• Technical Strategy: Partnering with Global Product Managers and Architects to bridge the gap between long-term business goals and immediate technical execution.

• Mentorship & Culture: Serving as a "Player-Coach" for P2 and P3 engineers, fostering a culture of high-velocity delivery, technical excellence, and AI-native thinking.

• Rapid Prototyping: Leading high-stakes Proof of Concepts (POCs) for new product features, using AI tooling to validate architectural assumptions in days, not weeks.

• Education & Experience: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field, with 8–12+ years of professional experience in deep-stack engineering.

• Architectural Mastery: Proven track record of designing and deploying distributed systems, microservices, and multi-tenant SaaS applications.

• Polyglot Proficiency: Expert-level knowledge in at least one major stack, with the versatility to lead in either:

  • Stack A: .NET Core, C#, Microservices, and Modern Frontend (Angular/React).

  • Stack B: Node.js, Java/Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and React.

• AI Tooling & Automation: Deep experience with coding assistants and agents (Cursor, Copilot, Auto-GPT, etc.) and a clear vision for how to embed these into an enterprise-grade SDLC.

• Systemic Thinking: Ability to manage technical debt while aggressively pursuing innovation, ensuring that speed never compromises security or scalability.

• Global Collaboration: Experience working with cross-continental teams, specifically bridging communication between India and EMEA/US offices.
