Find open staff-and-above individual-contributor backend engineering roles at product companies and funded startups in India. Weight companies known to pay at or above the Indian market for this level highest: Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Atlassian, Stripe, Databricks, Uber, Rubrik, Salesforce, Adobe, Zepto, Razorpay, CRED, PhonePe, Swiggy, Flipkart, Meesho, Groww, Postman, Zomato, Navi, Juspay and Sarvam. Each finding must be ONE job posting for ONE role, hosted either on the employer's own careers domain or on an applicant tracking system. Accept job-boards.greenhouse.io, boards.greenhouse.io, jobs.lever.co, jobs.ashbyhq.com, myworkdayjobs.com, smartrecruiters.com, apply.workable.com, jobs.jobvite.com, careers.icims.com, darwinbox.in, keka.com, zohorecruit.com, or a company's own /careers/, /jobs/ or /join/ path that carries a role identifier in the URL. MUST-HAVES, every one of them checkable from the posting itself: the role is based in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Gurugram, Noida or remote-India, or is explicitly remote within it; the title is Staff Engineer, Senior Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, Distinguished Engineer, Software Architect or Member of Technical Staff at a staff-equivalent level, OR the requirements ask for 8 or more years of experience on an individual-contributor track; The posting must still be open. Reject anything showing 'closed', 'filled', 'position no longer available', 'no longer accepting applications', or a deadline that has passed. The posting must have been published or last updated within the last 21 days. If the page carries no date at all, say so in the summary and rank it below an otherwise identical dated posting rather than assuming it is fresh. The following RAISE the value of a finding and are NOT requirements: a published compensation band, a named tech stack, the team size, the reporting line, and whether the role is onsite, hybrid or remote. Say which of them are present. Never reject a posting for omitting them: most postings omit compensation, and treating that as disqualifying rejects almost everything. DO NOT SEND: SDE-1, SDE-2, SDE-3 or Senior roles, which have their own agents; engineering-manager, engineering-head or director roles, which have their own agent; or service-company and consultancy postings from Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, Accenture, Capgemini, HCL, LTI Mindtree or Tech Mahindra. REJECT these domains outright, they are never the employer: naukri.com, instahyre.com, foundit.in, monsterindia.com, hirist.tech, cutshort.io, glassdoor, indeed, ziprecruiter, simplyhired, jooble, talent.com, adzuna, reed.co.uk, totaljobs, cv-library, stepstone, xing, jobs-radar.com, itreferraljobs.in, educativ.net, digitalxnode.com, and any page whose title reads 'ROLE at COMPANY | SITENAME'. Also skip search and category pages (any URL carrying q=, query=, keyword=, search=, page= or offset=, or a path ending at /jobs, /careers, /vacancies or /openings with no role identifier), recruiter and staffing agency pages, LinkedIn profiles of people who already hold the role, 'we are hiring' social posts, salary guides, interview-prep articles, and course or bootcamp adverts. Lead with the level, the company, the city, and the team or domain it owns.
