The Role The Core Resource Management (CRM) team is looking for an Associate Software Engineer to help us build and maintain the Kubernetes-powered platform that underpins Anaplan. We’re after someone who loves engineering, is excited by the chance to use Rust to create robust and elegant solutions, and wants to make an impact from day one.

Specifically, You'll Be Working On

• A cost optimisation project to track and right-size the resources our customers are using.
• An event streaming project to track and respond to customer actions in Anaplan.
• Keeping the Anaplan platform unbreakable and able to support heavy customer workloads.

These are fast-paced and strategically important projects that we hope excite you as much as they excite us.

Who are you?

• A Talented Engineer: You love software engineering and have experience building reliable, scalable and testable applications.
• A Quick Learner: You've got the raw talent, enthusiasm and drive to become an engineer who can write, release and support production ready code.
• Collaborative: You’re a team player who asks for help when needed, gives and takes feedback well, and can explain complex ideas with clarity.
• Hungry & Energised: You have drive, curiosity, and the motivation to achieve great things.
• Confident: You bring your voice and passion to high-energy technical discussions and thrive in an environment where ideas are tested and improved together.

Your Qualifications

• Experience: 2-3 years of professional software engineering or equivalent.
• Delivery: A track record of contributing to complex projects.
• DevOps: Ideally, hands-on experience deploying and maintaining services in live environments.

Tech we use

• Rust: We use Rust every day. You don’t need to be an expert yet, but prior exposure will give you a head start.
• Kubernetes: Our services integrate deeply with Kubernetes. You’ll be working with it from your first week.
• Helm: We install our Kubernetes applications via Helm charts, so, like Kubernetes, you'll be working with it from your first week.
• Grafana: From alerts to dashboards, Grafana is what we use for observability and supporting our services. It doesn't need to be Grafana, but some experience with an observability tool will help you get started quickly.
• Jenkins: We practice continuous build through Jenkins pipelines. Experience with Jenkins or an equivalent tool will help you hit the ground running.

Culture As well as joining a passionate team, you’ll be part of the wider Anaplan engineering community in our Gurugram office . You’ll find yourself among peers who support one another’s careers and work together to build a winning culture. Many of our leading engineers started at the same level you’re applying for — and grew into leadership roles with the backing of this community. We’ll give you the same support to take your career wherever you want it to go.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) We believe attracting and retaining the best talent and fostering an inclusive culture strengthens our business. DEIB improves our workforce, enhances trust with our partners and customers, and drives business success.
