Gandhi Nagar in Vijayawada is where this CRM Developer role is based, full-time and on-site, paying up to INR 74,500 per month.
The work itself
- Design and build software components that plug into the CRM platform the company runs on
- Work closely with product and QA teams throughout the build cycle, not just at handoff
- Review code to keep quality standards consistent across the team
- Troubleshoot issues reported by users once features are out in the wild
Most days split between these four things in different proportions depending on where the team is in a release cycle. Early in a cycle, design and build work dominates. Closer to release, troubleshooting and review take over as the bulk of the day.
A sales team might flag that lead scores are updating a day late after a workflow change. Tracking that down usually means checking whether a trigger got misconfigured during the last customization pass, then testing the fix against real records before pushing it back out. That's the rhythm here: build something, watch how people actually use it, fix what breaks. Some weeks lean heavily toward new build work, especially when a department requests a new automated process. Other weeks are almost entirely troubleshooting, particularly right after a bigger release goes out and edge cases start surfacing.
Code review isn't a formality tacked onto the end of a sprint. Every customization that touches shared workflows gets a second set of eyes before it merges, partly because a broken trigger in a CRM doesn't just throw an error; it silently produces wrong data that someone downstream ends up trusting. Catching that kind of thing before it ships matters more here than it might on a smaller, lower-stakes internal tool.
Core skills
CRM platform customization sits at the center of the job, backed by solid SQL and comfort building workflow automations that hold up under real usage rather than just passing a demo.
Nice to have
- Direct experience on a named platform like Salesforce, Zoho, or Microsoft Dynamics
- API integration work connecting the CRM to other business systems
- Exposure to building reporting dashboards inside a CRM environment
- A platform-specific certification, though it won't outweigh solid hands-on customization experience
None of these are required to apply. They show up here because they tend to shorten the ramp-up time for whoever gets hired, not because the hiring team is holding out for someone who checks every box.
Who fits this
A bachelor's degree covers the academic side, ideally in computer science, information technology, or a related field. Four years of relevant, hands-on experience is what the role calls for. Candidates should be able to talk through a customization they built and shipped, not just list the platforms they've worked with.
People who've spent time in a support or implementation role before moving into development often do well here, too, since a chunk of the job involves understanding how a CRM is actually used before deciding how to change it. Naukri Mitra has seen that background show up more than once in strong CRM developer candidates, and it's worth mentioning to anyone unsure if their path fits the mold.
Someone straight out of a purely academic programming background, with no exposure to a live CRM environment, would likely struggle here regardless of how strong their general coding skills are. The four-year bar isn't arbitrary. Enough time needs to have passed for a developer to have seen at least one CRM implementation go through its full cycle, from initial customization through the inevitable round of fixes once real users start relying on it daily.
Pay and what comes with it
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Provident fund contributions
- Relocation assistance for candidates moving to Vijayawada
- Accommodation support during the transition
The relocation and accommodation components matter here, since Vijayawada isn't everyone's home base, and this employer clearly expects to attract talent from outside the city. The provident fund contribution and health coverage round out a package that's fairly standard for software development roles at this level, without much padding beyond the basics.
Working in Gandhi Nagar
Gandhi Nagar sits close to Vijayawada's commercial center, which keeps the daily commute manageable and puts restaurants and everyday errands within easy reach after work. It's a smaller tech market than Hyderabad or Bengaluru, which cuts both ways: fewer competing CRM developer openings to choose from locally, but also less noise and a tighter, more visible team once you're in.
The on-site setup means questions get answered by walking over to someone's desk rather than waiting on a Slack thread. For someone coming from a remote-first job, that's an adjustment worth weighing before signing on. It also means the QA and product folks mentioned earlier aren't abstract names in a ticketing system; they're people you'll actually sit near.
The cost of living in Vijayawada is noticeably lower than in the bigger southern tech hubs, and that gap widens the practical value of the salary here beyond what the raw number alone suggests. For someone relocating from a higher-cost city specifically for this CRM developer opening, that's usually the detail that tips the decision one way or the other.
Getting started
The strongest applications point to a specific CRM customization project rather than to a general list of tools used. A short technical exercise built around a realistic workflow scenario is part of the process, followed by a conversation about how candidates have handled bug reports from actual users in the past. Anyone relocating for this role should raise it early, since the support offered depends on planning the move alongside the hiring timeline rather than after an offer is already signed.
The hiring team tends to move quickly once a strong application comes through, given how specific the platform and customization requirements are. Candidates who've done similar work elsewhere and can point to concrete before-and-after outcomes, such as a workflow that used to require manual follow-up and now runs on its own, tend to move through the process faster than those relying on a general skills summary alone.
