Staff Software Engineer / Lead

JOB TITLE: Staff Software Engineer / Lead  

LOCATION: New Delhi, India 

EMPLOYMENT TYPE: Full-Time 

VERTICAL: Technology / Engineering Delivery 

REPORTS TO: Chief Technology Architect

ABOUT FSR GLOBAL
FSR Global supports clean energy transitions in the Global South by bringing strategy, engineering, and markets together to solve real energy-transition challenges—through capability building, structured dialogues, and proof-of-concept work that enables adoption at scale. 

 ROLE SUMMARY 

The Staff Software Engineer/Lead is a senior builder-owner who takes projects from ambiguous problem statements to shipped, reliable systems. You will own delivery across internal teams and external partners/contractors, ensure engineering rigor, and build generalist solutions that can evolve across use cases. 

 KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Project Ownership (Build-to-Run) 

• Own delivery for major modules/workstreams: requirements translation, technical design, implementation, release, and operations. 

• Break down large problems into milestones; drive execution discipline with clear scope, risks, and dependencies. 

• Build core services, APIs, and workflows with high reliability, security, and maintainability. 

Partner & Contractor Leadership 

• Lead technical execution with contractors/partners: define scopes, review designs, enforce quality, manage integration. 

• Set acceptance criteria, testing requirements, and documentation standards for vendor-delivered components. 

• Ensure third-party contributions meet architecture and security expectations. 

Engineering Excellence 

• Establish and maintain strong practices: code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, incident response. 

• Drive pragmatic performance improvements and reduce operational toil through tooling and automation. 

• Mentor engineers and raise the bar on delivery speed and correctness. 

Generalist Problem Solving 

• Work across backend, systems, integrations, and (when needed) frontend—prioritizing what moves outcomes fastest. 

• Translate complex stakeholder needs into clean contracts, stable interfaces, and usable developer experience. 

QUALIFICATIONS
 Education 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field required. 

Experience and Skills 

• 10+ years of professional software development experience; demonstrated ownership of large projects. 

• Strong backend development skills (services, APIs, databases, asynchronous processing, integration patterns). 

• Experience coordinating multi-party delivery (internal teams and vendors/contractors). 

• Solid production engineering: monitoring, debugging, reliability, scaling, and secure coding practices. 

• Familiarity and hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., LLMs, coding copilots, automated testing/analysis assistants) to improve engineering productivity, quality, and documentation. 

• Bonus: experience building sandboxes, developer platforms, API governance, or interoperability programs. 

• Nice to have: experience working on ML/AI or Big Data applications (e.g., data pipelines, analytics platforms, model deployment/serving). 

 WHAT WE OFFER 

• Mission-driven work advancing clean energy transitions in the Global South. 

• A collaborative, high-trust team environment with access to a global network of senior energy experts. 

• Professional development through exposure to cutting-edge energy policy, regulation, and market design work. 

• Competitive compensation and hybrid working arrangements aligned to role requirements. 

• An inclusive culture that values rigor, initiative, and collective responsibility, with an organisation-wide winter break.
