WEX Hiring Software Development Engineer 1 in Bangalore | Onsite

Job Overview

WEX is hiring a Software Development Engineer 1 for its Mobility organization in Bangalore, India. This full-time, early-career role contributes to software used by commercial drivers and fleet operators. Depending on the team, the work may involve backend APIs and services, event-driven processing, or shared frontend infrastructure.

The Mobility teams build and maintain systems supporting fuel payments, authorizations, loyalty features, identity integrations, mobile applications, and real-time transaction data. Engineers contribute across the software lifecycle, from implementation and testing to deployment, documentation, and supervised production support.

Key Responsibilities

• Build assigned software components within the architecture and development patterns established by the team.
• Implement features using existing approaches such as microservices, event-driven design, or component-based frontend development.
• Write clean, maintainable, compilable code and unit tests that meet team quality standards.
• Clarify acceptance criteria and expected error states before starting implementation.
• Reproduce software defects, investigate their causes, and fix well-defined bugs with guidance from senior engineers.
• Respond to low-priority support tickets and participate in on-call rotations under supervision.
• Run assigned checks and scripts during incidents, following the team's established procedures.
• Add useful error and information logs that help the team investigate and diagnose issues.
• Update Jira tickets, follow the Definition of Done, maintain the correct ticket status, and flag delivery risks promptly.
• Participate in stand-ups, backlog grooming, demonstrations, and other team activities.
• Use stakeholder feedback from demonstrations to understand how features work for users.
• Use AI-assisted coding tools such as Cursor or similar tools to reduce repetitive work and investigate errors, while reviewing and validating generated output.
• Update technical documentation when information is incomplete or inaccurate.

Required Skills

• Sound fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and software design.
• Ability to write clean, tested code in at least one of Java, Python, TypeScript, or JavaScript.
• Understanding of the testing pyramid and practical experience writing unit tests through coursework, an internship, or a personal project.
• Basic awareness of identity and access management (IAM), role-based access control, and the importance of not hardcoding secrets.
• Familiarity with Git, pull requests, and deploying changes through an existing CI/CD pipeline.
• Ability to identify when a code change causes a build failure and communicate blockers or schedule risks early.
• Openness to code review feedback, willingness to learn team conventions, and flexibility when project priorities change.
• Clear communication and the ability to ask focused questions while explaining what has already been attempted.

Preferred Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering from a reputed institution.
• Internship or co-op experience involving code delivered to a production or staging environment as part of a team.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to collaborate with colleagues across different functions while also handling assigned tasks independently.
• Basic familiarity with cloud computing concepts through coursework or personal projects.
• Exposure to Docker, including reading or running existing Dockerfiles.
• Experience navigating an existing codebase and making improvements to code written by others.
• Interest in AI tools beyond code completion, such as prompt design or modifying a simple AI-powered script or agent.
• Interest in payments, fleet operations, or developer platforms.

Education

The role calls for a bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, with Computer Science or Software Engineering identified in the preferred qualifications. The posting does not specify a particular graduating batch.

Experience

The stated professional experience range is 0 to 1 year. Internship, co-op, coursework, and personal-project experience may help demonstrate relevant coding and testing skills.
