Some of you with more than a year of experience and depth of technical knowledge may be accepted directly as Senior Software Engineers or may be promoted to this position in less than a year. Exceptionally knowledgeable and competent engineers with a pure hands-on emphasis, of the Wizard and Guru levels, are also welcome. We have a non-managerial, purely technical career growth path for such engineers.

Our recruitment process for engineers involves a programming test followed by an interview. More details about our programming tests are given below.

For System Software Engineers, the gross remuneration package will depend on your ability to learn, attitude, technical competence, and depth of knowledge. The total compensation package can reach Rs.500,000 per annum for outstanding candidates. Renumeration for experienced individuals in Senior Software Engineer positions can be higher.

All applicants will have to go through a C programming test, which will last 60 minutes. If you qualify in this test, you will be asked to appear for an interview, lasting 30-60 minutes. If selected by the interview panel, you will be offered a position with us.

The test will have a set of multiple-choice questions.

You must apply online for a time slot for your test. When you do so, you will receive an automatic system-generated response by email, confirming your time slot. This email should reach your mailbox within 30 minutes of your applying online, if you have typed in your correct email address.

Please note that there is a big difference between applying online for a test and taking a test online. We have no mechanism to let you take any of our tests online, nor is such a facility planned in the foreseeable future.

Unless otherwise specified, you will have to come to our office to take the test(s). We are not conducting any tests anywhere other than in our office in Navi Mumbai.

You can also call our office and fix a time slot for your test, in case applying online did not work. Call (Bombay)4153 0500 and ask for Suma More or Rashmi Phalke who coordinate our recruitment process. You will have to specify the following information:

• Which position you wish to apply for
• Your full name as per official records
• Your date of birth as per official records
• Number of years of industry experience
• When you wish to appear for the test

Please do not ask our recruitment coordinator any questions about the tests and what they will contain. She is not qualified or equipped to answer any such questions.

Please do not send us your resume till we ask for it. We do not look at resumes or keep them in our files unless you successfully qualify in our test. Bring a printed copy of your resume with you when you come for our interview.

The test will be conducted at our office at Mahape, Navi Mumbai. Directions to reach our office are given here.

We will notify all qualifying candidates of their test results by email within a maximum of 3 working days after they take the test.
