Zebra Technologies has a Software Engineer I opening in Pune (requisition JR103443), posted on 5 November 2026. The requirement is a B.Tech/B.E. in Computer Science or a related engineering discipline with 0 to 1 years of relevant experience, which makes it open to fresh graduates.
Role Overview
The role designs, develops, analyses and maintains software for Zebra's products and systems, and includes integrating software with hardware to meet quality standards. Work is reviewed, but the posting says you get greater independence in day-to-day tasks as you grow.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop and test software components within a larger project.
- Write and maintain documentation of functionality and design.
- Take part in code reviews and give feedback.
- Test software, analyse results and do root cause analysis on issues.
- Modify and improve existing software for functionality, scalability and performance.
- Suggest new tools or methods that improve productivity.
- Help less experienced staff with existing processes.
- Occasionally work with other teams and external stakeholders.
Requirements
- B.Tech/B.E. in Computer Science or a related engineering field.
- 0 to 1 years of relevant experience.
- Strength in data structures, algorithms, system design and writing clean, maintainable code.
- Interest in and exposure to AI, machine learning and intelligent system architectures through projects or internships.
- Understanding of cloud architectures such as GCP, containers and CI/CD.
- Knowledge of both backend and modern front-end interfaces.

Perks
The posting lists hybrid work, adaptable hours, Summer Flex Fridays, Focus Fridays and an annual company-wide wellbeing day. It does not list salary.
What the role involves
Zebra builds hardware such as scanners and mobile computers, so expect software that talks to devices as well as cloud services. Most of your time would likely go to building components, writing tests and tracing bugs back to their cause. The AI and cloud lines suggest newer projects may include intelligent features running on GCP.
Who it suits
It suits CS graduates comfortable with both backend and front-end, who want exposure to hardware-linked products. If you only know one stack, the broad list may feel wide.
How to stand out
- Show one project with an AI or ML element, and be able to explain what model or API you used and why.
- Revise data structures and algorithms. These are named first in the skills list.
- Show something deployed with Docker or on GCP, with a CI pipeline.
- Prepare to explain a bug you debugged and how you found its root cause.
