Associate Software Engineer

At Index Engines, we’re all about helping companies bounce back from cyber threats and trust their data again — no matter what hits them.

Our flagship solution, CyberSense, delivers 99.99% accuracy in detecting data corruption, helping organizations recover quickly from ransomware attacks. We partner with awesome industry leaders like Dell Technologies, IBM, Lenovo/Infinidat, and Hitachi Vantara to power AI-driven cyber recovery across both primary and backup storage.

We’re a growing, tech-forward company with a startup feel and an enterprise-level impact. We take our mission seriously — but not ourselves. Expect a team that’s collaborative, curious, and loves solving hard problems together.

The Role

The Associate Software Engineer will be a key contributor in both creating what’s next and keeping what’s built running smoothly. This role is perfect for an engineer who enjoys seeing the big picture from designing new capabilities to improving stability, performance, and automation behind the scenes.

• Build, enhance, and maintain automation frameworks and test suites using Python, Pytest, and Playwright.
• Collaborate closely with other engineers and product teams to translate ideas and requirements into working software.
• Install and configure Index Engines products in Linux environments, including creating and managing virtual machines.
• Implement and refine automation strategies to validate functionality, performance, and stability.
• Troubleshoot automation pipelines, identify bottlenecks, and improve efficiency through creative problem-solving.
• Contribute to architecture and CI/CD integration, ensuring automation is embedded in the development process.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong experience with Python and a solid understanding of Linux environments.
• Skilled in Bash scripting, SSH operations, and basic SQL usage.
• Familiar with REST APIs, Postman, and cURL.
• Experience with UI testing frameworks like Playwright, Selenium, or similar tools.
• Comfortable with Git/GitHub and Jira for version control and task management.
• Bonus points if you’ve worked with AWS, Docker, or Ansible Playbooks.
• Minimum 2 years of professional experience in software development.

• Enjoy owning problems end-to-end — from understanding user needs to debugging the final issue.
• Have a passion for both building and maintaining high-quality software.
• Thrive in Linux environments and like working close to the systems level.
• Love collaborating, learning, and sharing ideas with a team that values both technical depth and creativity.
• Can work independently but also know when to jump in and help others.

At Index Engines, you’ll join a team that’s equal parts smart, supportive, and a little nerdy (in the best way possible). We move fast, collaborate often, and celebrate wins big and small.

You’ll have the freedom to experiment, make decisions, and actually see the impact of your work. We’re proud of what we build — and we like having fun while we do it.

If you’re looking for a place where you can lead with vision, grow with purpose, and work with people who genuinely enjoy what they do, you’ll fit right in.
