// Open Role at Entain
Join Entain India as an SDE III, where you'll innovate in an AI-native setup, designing, building, and debugging software across backend and frontend for a world leader in sports and gaming. Own the full software delivery lifecycle, collaborate with AI agents, and mentor junior developers.
There's nothing like a career at Entain India. We're the technology powerhouse helping Entain – a world leader in sports and gaming – create products and experiences used by millions of customers across the globe.
You'll thrive here, whether you're a product owner who wants to deliver original concepts, an engineer who's determined to build high-performance platforms, or a customer care professional who will personalise our service every step of the way. Our unrivalled energy, innovative insights and exceptional work environments will activate your full potential. Join us to unlock a world of new possibilities – for you and the future of sports and gaming.
As an SDE III, you'll bring your engineering depth into a new way of working. You won't just write code — you'll specify, orchestrate, validate, and ship with AI as your primary collaborator. You'll work in a small, mission-driven cross-functional team called a pod — three functions (Product, Engineer, Quality) with high agency, shared ownership, and no hand-offs.
Reporting to the Tech Lead, you'll join the Product & Technology Team. Are you ready to be part of a team that's redefining how software gets built in an AI Native setup?
What You Will Do
Engineering Mindset — What We Look For
We assess every candidate across six core dimensions:
AI Fluency: AI is the primary way we engineer. Prompt, evaluate, and iterate. Manual coding is a deliberate choice, not the default.
Cross-Functional Versatility: "That's not my area" doesn't exist. Contribute beyond your discipline, share knowledge openly, and communicate clearly across different formats.
Customer and Value Awareness: Ask "why" and "for whom" before "how." Understand the bigger business context while still being able to zoom in and trace a bug. Map dependencies before you build.
Craft: Apply SOLID principles, DRY, separation of concerns, and observability by default. Write clean, maintainable code with the right level of testing. Treat CI/CD as standard engineering practice, whether the code is written by a human or an AI agent.
Technical Curiosity: Build a prototype, experiment, and try to break it before relying solely on documentation. Stay curious about how things work and continuously explore better approaches.
Agency & Entrepreneurship: Don't wait for permission. Take ownership of outcomes end-to-end, enable others to succeed, challenge the status quo, and proactively look for ways to create value.
Strong proficiency in at least one of the following: Java/Spring Boot, Python, .NET, Go, or Angular, with the ability to learn and work with other technologies using AI.
Strong foundation in engineering fundamentals, including distributed systems, data structures, API design, database concepts, and cloud computing.
Experience with clean code practices, TDD, CI/CD, and version control.
Experience with application monitoring, observability, and production debugging.
Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
Proficiency in using AI-assisted development tools for code generation, pair programming, and automated testing.
Experience with agent systems, MCP/tool protocols, or building AI-augmented workflows.
Experience designing evaluation and observability strategies for AI-generated outputs.
