Our focus on quality at scale drives us to create innovative technology that supports Entain's mission to lead the change in global sports and gaming sector. At Entain India, we make the impossible possible, together.

As a Software Engineer (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. This team consists of three functions: Product, Engineer, and Quality. These teams have high agency, shared ownership, and no hand-offs.

What You Will Do

• Achieve the pod's mission: lead the full software delivery lifecycle including quality, from design through production and measurement.
• Operate in flow (Kanban): pull work, respect WIP limits, ship daily.
• Use AI agents as your primary delivery mechanism: code generation, testing, spec writing, deployment.
• Develop and debug software across backend and frontend with distributed systems awareness.
• Evaluate and tune agent workflows, steering docs, prompts, rules, and skills. You improve the tools you use.
• Write clean, well-tested code and take ownership of quality end-to-end.
• Be a initial on-call responder, ensuring health and stability of deployed applications.
• Mentor junior developers and contribute to shared tooling, knowledge bases, and the agent foundation kit.

We assess you across six core dimensions:

• AI Fluency: AI is the primary way we engineer. You prompt, evaluate, iterate. Manual coding is a deliberate choice, not the default.
• Cross-Functional team Management: That's not my area doesn't exist. You contribute beyond your discipline, share openly, and communicate in different formats.
• Customer and Value Awareness: Ask why and for whom before how. Zoom out to see the business, zoom in to trace the bug. Map dependencies before you build.
• Craft: Pride in the quality of what you create; specs, prototypes, or code with AI assistance. Clear structure, and a bar that applies to every artefact you ship.
• Technical Curiosity: Build a prototype and break it before reading the docs. Stay curious about how things work.
• Agency & Entrepreneurship: Don't wait for permission. Manage outcomes end-to-end, make others successful, challenge the status quo.

Must Have

• Proficiency in at least one of: Java/Spring Boot, Python, .NET, Go, and Angular, with the ability to work on others with AI's help.
• 5+ years of experience with engineering fundamentals: 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 with AI-assisted development tools (code generation, pair programming, automated testing).
• Experience with agent systems, MCP/tool protocols, or building AI-augmented workflows.
• Experience designing evaluation or observability strategies for AI outputs.

Nice if you Have

• Contributions to shared tooling, internal platforms, or open-source projects.
• Background in industries with strict regulatory requirements (gaming, financial services, healthcare).
