- Role: Software Engineer, Graduates 2026
- Location: Mumbai
- Job ID: SOF06057
- Who can apply: BE/B.Tech 2026 graduates
- Pay: not listed in the posting
What the role involves
Expect to work on backend code. The posting names Java and Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices, databases and data models. You will build these under the guidance of senior engineers, join code reviews and write testable code.
The unusual part is the AI angle. Zycus wants new engineers to use tools such as ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor or Gemini while coding, debugging, testing and writing documentation. You are also expected to learn prompt engineering and how AI agent systems are designed.
Eligibility for Zycus Software Engineer 2026
The posting is specific, so read it before you apply:
- BE/B.Tech in Computer Science, IT, Electronics, AI/ML, Data Science or related branches
- Graduating in 2026
- Minimum 80% (or equivalent CGPA) in 10th, 12th and BE/B.Tech
- No active backlogs and no history of backlogs or arrears
- Solid grounding in data structures and algorithms, OOP, DBMS, operating systems and computer networks
- Java preferred, or any object-oriented language
Skills that count in your favour
Preferred skills include Java fundamentals, basic Spring Boot, REST APIs, SQL, and Git. Docker, Kubernetes, cloud exposure and AI development tools are listed as a plus. The posting also values projects, hackathons, internships and open-source work, and it names LLM or GenAI API projects as bonus points.
Who it suits
This suits a fresher who already codes outside the syllabus. If your GitHub has a Spring Boot API or a small LLM app, you match what the company is asking for. If you have a backlog, the posting rules you out, so save your time.
How to stand out
Lead with one backend project in Java that has real endpoints and a database, and one project that uses a GenAI API. Be ready to explain both. Based on the skills listed, expect questions on OOP, DBMS, OS and networks, plus some data structure problems. That is our reading of the posting, not a stated interview process.
