Role Overview
The job sits in TriNet's technology department in Hyderabad (display job ID 3004263). You work across the software development lifecycle: writing code, testing it, troubleshooting and debugging. The company itself provides HR solutions to small and midsize businesses, so the software supports that product and platform side.
Responsibilities
- Contribute across the SDLC, with a focus on development, testing, troubleshooting and debugging.
- Follow coding standards and best practices, with hands-on coding.
- Write unit tests and automated test scripts in a test driven development approach.
- Use coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot or Claude Code for code generation, review and tests. The posting marks this as good to have.
- Build rapid prototypes and proofs of concept to test new ideas.
- Work independently or with others, and take on other duties as assigned.
Eligibility for the TriNet Associate Software Engineer role
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.
- Typically less than 2 years of experience building products or platforms with UI or backend web technology.
- Experience with Java, Python or another object oriented language.
- Experience with modern UI frameworks such as AngularJS or ReactJS.
- Strong grasp of software engineering principles, data structures and testing.
- Hands-on experience with RAG, generative AI technologies and AI agent development.
- Good debugging and problem solving, and the ability to work with distributed teams.
Salary and benefits
The posting does not list a salary or role specific perks.
What the role involves
This is a junior developer position with a modern flavour. You will write ordinary application code and tests, but the AI items in the skills list suggest some of the work involves prototypes using retrieval augmented generation and agents. The posting encourages using coding assistants, so expect a team that treats them as normal tools while still expecting you to understand the code you ship.
Who it suits
It suits a recent graduate or someone with a year or so of experience who has built at least one small project with an LLM, and who is happy working from the office every day. The posting also says that if you do not meet every requirement, you are still encouraged to apply.
How to stand out
- Build a small RAG app (documents in, grounded answers out) and put the repository link on your resume.
- Show a project with a React or Angular front end and a Java or Python backend.
- Include unit tests in your projects. The posting leans on test driven development.
- Be ready to explain data structures problems out loud, since the posting names them (an expectation, not a stated interview format).
Check before you apply
- Salary is not listed.
- The role is 100% in office in Hyderabad.
