Become a React Native Developer.

NLP Engineers build production language systems — Indic-language models, automatic speech recognition (ASR) and synthesis (TTS), document understanding for enterprise paperwork, IVR and voice-bot stacks for Indian customer support, named-entity recognition and information extraction, and the increasingly common multimodal pipelines that fuse text with vision and speech. The work blends applied research, production engineering, and dataset craft: you train and fine-tune transformer models for low-resource Indic languages, curate parallel corpora and labeled datasets, optimize inference for cost, debug failure modes that only show up in code-mixed Hindi-English speech or in handwritten Tamil documents, and own quality SLOs that mix accuracy, latency, and fairness across 22 official Indian languages. In India through 2026, NLP is one of the highest-impact applied-AI specializations because the global English-first NLP literature transfers poorly to Indic languages — concentrated demand sits at AI-native startups (Sarvam AI, Krutrim, Ola Krutrim, Yellow.ai), the public-good NLP groups at AI4Bharat (IIT-Madras) and Bhashini (Government of India), enterprise SaaS (Freshworks, Zoho ZIA, Postman, Verloop, Haptik), fintech (Razorpay, Cred, Paytm, M2P, IDfy), and the GCCs of Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and Amazon.

Power BI Developers design, build, and maintain the BI layer that turns raw enterprise data into decision-grade dashboards for finance, operations, sales, and supply-chain teams. The core loop is: connecting heterogeneous sources via Power Query (M language), modelling star schemas with fact and dimension tables, writing DAX measures and calculated columns for time-intelligence and KPI logic, publishing to Power BI Service workspaces, enforcing row-level security policies, and tuning slow reports by reducing visual-query counts and optimising DirectQuery folding. In India, this role is the Microsoft-stack alternative to Tableau development — deeply embedded in the M365-heavy enterprises: TCS, Infosys Nia practice, Wipro's Microsoft Business Applications unit, Mahindra Group, Tata Group digital, L&T Infotech (LTIMindtree), HCL, and every banking captive running Azure Synapse or Fabric. Demand spiked in 2024-2026 as Microsoft Fabric (Lakehouse, Semantic Model, Dataflows Gen2) expanded the Power BI surface area and pushed experienced developers into the ₹18-40L band.

Keep production systems fast, available, and observable for millions of users — by writing software that automates operations, runs capacity planning, designs SLOs and error budgets, and owns the on-call rotation for critical services. The role sits between software engineering and operations: you write Go / Python / Rust code, build reliability tooling, design distributed systems for resilience, run incident response, and push back on product launches that risk SLOs. In India, SRE is a premium specialization concentrated at FAANG-IN (Google SRE Bengaluru, Amazon, Microsoft IDC, Netflix India), product unicorns (Razorpay, Flipkart, Swiggy, Dream11, PhonePe, Zerodha), and the GCCs of high-traffic US firms (Uber, LinkedIn, Atlassian, GitHub, Cloudflare, Stripe). The work overlaps with DevOps but skews more toward software engineering: reliability is a product, not a process. Senior SRE pay in India sits at the very top of the technology bracket, often above equivalent SDE-3 backend roles.

Build and operate the internal developer platform — the CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes clusters, service mesh, secrets management, observability stack, and IaC modules — that every other engineer in the company ships on. Platform engineers turn raw cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) into a paved road: a developer pushes code, the platform takes it from commit to canary to production with logs, metrics, and rollback baked in. In India, the role is concentrated at product unicorns (Razorpay, Zerodha, CRED, PhonePe, Swiggy), GCCs of global firms (Microsoft, Atlassian, Stripe, Walmart Global Tech), and SaaS companies scaling past 200 engineers — typically the point at which a dedicated platform team starts paying for itself in shipping velocity.

Solutions Architects are the customer-facing technical role that bridges what a product can do and what a customer actually needs. They design end-to-end deployments, integrations, and migrations on behalf of the customer's engineering team — sizing infrastructure, mapping data flows, picking the right product modules, drafting reference architectures, and partnering with sales and customer-success to win and expand accounts. The role is genuinely hybrid: it requires deep technical depth (cloud, networking, security, distributed systems) and high verbal craft (workshops, executive presentations, written design docs that survive procurement and security review). In India through 2026, Solutions Architect is one of the highest-paid customer-facing technical roles, concentrated at the GCCs of cloud vendors (AWS India, Microsoft Azure India, Google Cloud India, Oracle, IBM), enterprise SaaS companies (Salesforce India, ServiceNow, Snowflake, Databricks, MongoDB, Confluent), B2B Indian product companies (Freshworks, Postman, Atlan, Hasura, Chargebee), and the systems-integrator giants (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture) where the role sits closer to delivery. Top-tier Solutions Architects in India routinely cross ₹1Cr total comp by L6+ and the role is a common path into VP-Engineering and Field-CTO seats.

Prompt Engineers design, evaluate, and ship LLM-powered features — system prompts, RAG flows, agent orchestration, structured-output schemas, and the eval harnesses that prove a prompt is actually better. The role sits between product, applied ML, and software engineering: you write prompts the way other engineers write code, run cost-quality-latency trade-off experiments, instrument grader pipelines, and own the part of the product that the LLM actually 'speaks.' In India through 2026, the role is one of the fastest-growing AI hires — concentrated at AI-native startups (Sarvam AI, Krutrim, Ola Krutrim, Atlan, Yellow.ai), product SaaS shops with a serious AI feature surface (Freshworks, Postman, Chargebee, Whatfix, Zoho ZIA), fintechs (Razorpay, Cred, Paytm), and the GCCs of Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and Salesforce. The salary band is unusually wide because the title is new and JDs vary from 'wrote one ChatGPT integration' to 'owns the eval harness for a frontier model.' Sarvam AI made several public crore-level offers to senior prompt and LLM engineers in 2025.

Design, build, test, and ship native Android applications using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and the Android SDK — apps that millions of Indian users rely on every day for payments, food, mobility, banking, and entertainment. Day-to-day work includes building UI in Jetpack Compose, modeling data with Room, integrating REST and gRPC APIs with Retrofit and OkHttp, profiling and reducing app size, and debugging crashes across hundreds of device-and-OS combinations from ₹6,000 budget phones to ₹1.5L flagships. In India, Android developers are heavily concentrated at consumer-app product companies — Swiggy, Zomato, CRED, PhonePe, Paytm, Razorpay, Flipkart, Myntra, Meesho, Dream11 — plus the GCCs of Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft, and a smaller volume of Android work at IT services. India is an Android-first market (95%+ market share), which gives Android developers consistently strong demand and visibility.

Web developers in India build the full-stack web applications that power D2C brands (Mamaearth, boAt, Lenskart, Nykaa), agency-built marketing sites for Indian enterprises (HDFC, Tata, Reliance), Indian SaaS products (Razorpay dashboards, Cred app web flows, Zoho web suite), and a large freelance/agency segment serving US/EU clients on dollar contracts. The work spans React/Next.js or Vue front-ends, Node.js/Python/PHP back-ends, Postgres or MongoDB, and deployment on Vercel/Netlify/AWS. India-specific patterns include the agency-services freelance economy (Upwork, Toptal, Fiverr earnings in USD), e-commerce build-outs on Shopify/Magento/Adobe Commerce for D2C brands, 4-8 PM IST overlap with US clients, and a wide spread in pay — agency salaries cluster low while product-co and remote-USD income runs 3-5x higher. The web-developer label is broad: at one end it's freelance landing-page work; at the other it's senior full-stack engineering at Razorpay or Postman.

Shopify Developers build, customize, and extend online stores on Shopify and Shopify Plus — writing Liquid templates for Online Store 2.0 sections and blocks, shipping Remix-based Shopify Apps via the Polaris design system, and integrating headless storefronts using Hydrogen (React) against the Storefront API. In India, the role is driven by the D2C explosion: Mamaearth, boAt, Sugar Cosmetics, Noise, and hundreds of mid-market brands run Shopify Plus stores, fed by a mature agency ecosystem (Codilar, StoreHippo-adjacent shops, Lifograph, Krish Commerce) and thousands of solo freelancers earning USD from global Shopify merchants. Senior practitioners build Shopify Apps published on the Partner marketplace — recurring-revenue SaaS products generating $10K-100K MRR for India-based solo founders. The technical ceiling has risen sharply with Shopify Functions (Rust compiled to WebAssembly for discount, shipping, and validation logic), GraphQL Admin/Storefront APIs, and Shopify CLI 3+ — demanding real software-engineering depth beyond theme editing.

Build cross-platform mobile apps that ship from a single Dart codebase to both Android and iOS — the bulk of consumer-facing fintech, edtech, and D2C apps in India now run on Flutter or pair Flutter with native modules. Day-to-day you write Dart and Flutter widgets, manage state with Riverpod or BLoC, debug rendering and platform-channel issues, integrate Razorpay/UPI/Aadhaar SDKs, ship to Play Store and App Store, and own crash-free user rates. In India, Flutter has become the dominant cross-platform choice for new mobile teams — Cred, Groww, Slice, PhonePe (selectively), CARS24, Dream11, and most YC-backed Indian consumer startups list Flutter explicitly. Pairs naturally with the broader mobile-developer career; many teams hire one Flutter specialist and one native iOS/Android engineer for platform-specific work.

Kotlin Android Developers build the native apps that run on 95%+ of Indian smartphones — from UPI-payments flows at PhonePe and Paytm, to short-video feeds at MX Player and ShareChat, to streaming interfaces at Hotstar, to hyperlocal discovery at Flipkart Quick. The role demands Jetpack Compose UI, Kotlin Coroutines and Flow for async data, Room or SQLDelight for offline persistence, Retrofit + OkHttp for API contracts, and Hilt/Dagger 2 for dependency injection. India is the world's second-largest Android market by volume; nearly every consumer-internet product company (Zomato, CRED, Meesho, Truecaller, Dream11, Razorpay) runs a dedicated Kotlin Android team, and the combination of massive user base with high traffic variance (festival sales, IPL, exam results) produces engineering challenges that top global roles rarely match.
