About Blitzy
Blitzy is a Cambridge, MA based AI software development platform on a mission to revolutionize the software development life cycle by autonomously building custom software to unlock the next industrial revolution. We're transforming how enterprises build software, turning enterprise requirements into production-ready code with an agentic software development platform that can autonomously execute 80% of the quantum of software development work. We're backed by multiple tier 1 investors, and have proven success as founders of previous start-ups.
Location: Pune, India (in-person role, HQ2)
Compensation: 40,00,000 INR to 75,00,000 INR annual salary + equity eligibility after proven performance
The Role
We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Pune HQ2 team, thriving at the intersection of cutting-edge AI technology and real-world enterprise software challenges. You'll embed directly with customer engineering teams, helping them revolutionize their software development with Blitzy.
This isn't a typical solutions engineer role. You'll write production code, architect solutions, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with customer engineering teams to deliver transformative outcomes. You're equally comfortable debugging a complex integration, participating in sprint planning, or whiteboarding architecture with a CTO.
This role centers on our Java/Spring Boot enterprise stack — from core REST services and event-driven microservices to production operations — and requires close collaboration with our US-based engineering and customer teams, including time zone overlap for handoffs.
What Success Looks Like
You deploy Blitzy into complex enterprise environments, navigating technical constraints while delivering immediate value
You write custom integrations and extensions — built on Java 17 and Spring Boot 3.x — that unlock new use cases for customers
You translate ambitious business goals into concrete technical implementations using Blitzy's AI capabilities
You identify patterns across customer needs that influence our product roadmap
You become a trusted technical advisor to engineering leaders, earning their confidence through hands-on expertise
You drive successful POCs that expand into enterprise-wide deployments
You contribute code and insights back to our core platform based on field experience
Areas of Ownership
Customer Partnership
Embed with customer teams during critical implementations, serving as their technical co-pilot
Participate in customer sprint planning, architecture reviews, and technical decision-making
Build custom solutions that demonstrate Blitzy's capabilities in their specific environment
Technical Implementation
Write production-quality Java 17 / Spring Boot 3.x services (Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, Actuator) to integrate Blitzy with existing enterprise systems
Build and evolve REST APIs using a contract-first approach with OpenAPI/Swagger
Own data persistence with PostgreSQL, Hibernate/JPA, and Liquibase-managed database migrations
Package and deploy containerized services with Docker, managing dependencies through Maven (BOM and multi-module projects)
Develop reusable patterns, scripts, and tools that accelerate customer adoption
Debug complex issues spanning customer infrastructure and our platform
Create technical demos that showcase advanced use cases
Quality & Production Operations
Write thorough test coverage using JUnit 5, Cucumber/Gherkin, and JMeter for performance validation
Maintain code quality and observability with Git, Logback/SLF4J, SpotBugs, and SonarQube
Support microservice architectures and production operations, including health checks, metrics, and configuration management
Strategic Impact
Decompose executive vision into actionable engineering roadmaps
Identify expansion opportunities within accounts based on technical insights
Collaborate with our product team to prioritize features based on field experience
Contribute to our technical documentation and best practices
Required Experience
4–10 years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production code
Strong hands-on experience with Java 17 (must-have)
Spring Boot 3.x expertise, including Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, and Actuator
PostgreSQL and Hibernate/JPA for data persistence
Maven for dependency management (BOM and multi-module projects)
Liquibase for database migrations
REST API development using a contract-first/OpenAPI approach with Swagger
Docker for containerized services
Testing and performance tooling: JUnit 5, Cucumber/Gherkin, and JMeter
Git, Logback/SLF4J, and static analysis tools such as SpotBugs and SonarQube
Familiarity with microservice architectures and Spring Boot production operations (health checks, metrics, configuration)
Deep understanding of modern software development practices (CI/CD, microservices, cloud architecture)
Experience with enterprise development workflows, including Agile/Scrum methodologies
Strong communication skills, with time zone overlap to support handoffs with our US-based teams—you can explain technical concepts to anyone from intern to CTO
Must be based in or willing to work in-person from Pune, India
What Makes You Stand Out
Jakarta EE experience, particularly Spring Boot 3 migrations
Caching experience using Spring Cache
Familiarity with Apache HttpClient 5
Enterprise modernization experience: Java 8 → Java 17 upgrades and monolith → microservices migrations
Exposure to event-driven architecture, including Spring Kafka, Apache Kafka consumers, dead-letter topics (DLT), and retry patterns
Experience with Confluent Schema Registry and Apache Avro, including schema evolution and contract-first integrations
Familiarity with Spring RestClient, Testcontainers, WireMock, and JaCoCo
Observability experience with Micrometer and Dynatrace
Exposure to Saga orchestration, resilience/retry patterns, Kubernetes, or the WSO2 API Gateway
Experience at high-growth startups or in customer-facing engineering roles
Background in AI/ML, developer tools, or enterprise modernization projects
Track record of technical thought leadership (blogs, talks, open source contributions)
Passion for the future of AI-powered software development
What Makes This Role Different
Production Code, Real Stakes: Unlike traditional FDE roles that focus on configuration and support, you'll be writing production Java/Spring Boot code that directly impacts customer success and enterprise deals you can see the outcome of.
Frontier AI Work: You'll shape AI adoption at the frontier of what's possible with generative AI—working with a platform that generates complete applications, not just code snippets.
Influence the Roadmap: You'll influence product direction through direct field experience, feeding real customer insight back into our roadmap.
Onsite Opportunities: High performers are eligible for company-sponsored trips to our Cambridge, MA headquarters based on business needs, with potential international transfer support for top talent.
Full Employment Package: This is a full-time role directly with our Private Limited Company in Pune. Benefits include medical insurance, participation in the company stock option program, Employer Provident Fund contributions with gratuity after 5 years, technology allowance, meal provision, and a beautiful office environment.
Clear Growth Path: Flexibility to transition into core product or platform engineering as Blitzy scales.
