Description:

Smiths Detection is hiring a Senior Software Engineer for its global engineering division in Bengaluru. Operating at the forefront of threat-detection and physical security technology, this mission-critical role focuses on building, scaling, and maintaining high-availability software platforms that make the world a safer place. Working under minimal supervision, you will solve highly complex full-stack architectural problems—deconstructing requirements into clean Angular/React user interfaces, robust Java Spring Boot microservices, and decoupled, event-driven streaming layers. You will serve as the technical bridge across cross-functional development and QA teams, automating CI/CD tracks, enforcing strict secure coding parameters, and managing distributed container infrastructure over public cloud hyper-scalers.

Key Technologies:

Java, Spring Boot, Angular (v10+), React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5/CSS3, REST APIs, Microservices Architecture, Event-Driven Systems, Docker, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), AWS / Azure / GCP, NoSQL Databases (MongoDB, Redis), Git, Linux Shell Scripting

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a strictly related quantitative technical field.
• 4 to 7 years of verified professional experience in software engineering, delivering scalable, secure, and maintainable enterprise solutions.
• Strong proficiency in modern client-side frameworks—specifically Angular (v10+) or React—paired with expert command of HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, TypeScript, and fluid responsive UI workflows.
• Advanced hands-on development expertise in Java and Spring Boot, with a proven history of designing clean, secure, and highly scalable REST APIs under a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).
• Direct production experience containerizing application layers via Docker and managing live microservice deployments inside Kubernetes clusters.
• Reliable familiarity with major public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP), combined with a functional understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) provisioning methods.
• Practical working knowledge of distributed system principles and non-relational database management engines, specifically MongoDB and Redis caching structures.
• Strong expertise configuring and maintaining automated CI/CD pipelines, writing automated test suites, adapting Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodologies, and running automated monitoring blocks.
• Advanced proficiency navigating Linux operating systems, writing custom automation scripts, and maintaining strict code lineage using Git.
• Excellent communication skills in English (both fluently spoken and written) with the ability to articulate complex technical patterns clearly across multicultural teams and various organizational layers.
