There's a Junior Django Developer opening on a software team based in Sector 62, Noida, and it's a good one for someone who's spent the last year or two writing Python and is ready to do it in a real codebase, with real deadlines and other developers to learn from. The role is full-time and on-site.
This isn't a maintenance-only role where you'll be stuck patching the same three files for months. The team ships new features regularly, which means a junior developer here gets exposure to the full cycle: reading a spec, figuring out how it fits into the existing code, writing it, and then watching it actually go live for users. That full loop is harder to get in some junior roles, where you're kept away from anything customer-facing for the first year.
What the day looks like
You'll spend most of your time writing and maintaining application code, the kind of work that's less glamorous than it sounds in a job posting but genuinely satisfying once you're a few months in and can see your own fingerprints all over parts of the product. You'll also sit in on feature discussions with designers, QA, and other developers, and you'll pick up bug tickets that testing turns up before release.
- Write and maintain application code across the product
- Work with cross-functional teams to build new features from spec to shipped
- Fix bugs flagged during testing, including the annoying ones nobody else wants
That third one is worth being upfront about. Bug fixing isn't the exciting part of the job, but for a junior developer it's often the fastest way to actually learn a codebase, since you end up reading code other people wrote instead of only your own.
Tools you'll use
Day-to-day work runs on Python and Django, with data living in PostgreSQL or MySQL depending on the project. You'll build and consume REST APIs regularly, and Git is how the team manages code, so comfort with branches, merges, and the occasional messy rebase is expected, not optional.
Nobody expects a junior hire to have deep mastery of all of this on day one. What matters more is that you've actually built something with these tools before, even a small personal project, rather than only having read about them.
If you've only worked with SQLite so far, that's not a dealbreaker, but you should be comfortable enough with relational databases in general that picking up PostgreSQL's specifics doesn't take more than a week or two. Same goes for Git: knowing how to commit and push is the floor, not the bar we're actually looking for. We want someone who's at least run into a merge conflict and worked their way out of it without panicking.
What you'll need to bring
A bachelor's degree is the standard requirement here, generally in computer science, information technology, or a closely related subject. Beyond the degree, we're asking for 3 months of hands-on experience with the languages, tools, and frameworks the role actually uses, which is a low bar by design since this is meant to be reachable for someone early in their career, including through an internship or personal projects rather than a full-time job history.
Naukri Mitra has seen plenty of strong candidates apply to junior roles like this one with nothing more than coursework and a couple of side projects, and that's genuinely fine here. What we can't really substitute for is some evidence that you've written working code before, since a Django tutorial followed once isn't quite the same as debugging your own mistakes in a project you built from scratch.
Pay and what comes with it
This role pays 41,500 INR a month.
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Provident fund contributions
- On-site cafeteria facilities
- Cab or commute support
Commute support matters more than it might seem to anyone coming from outside Sector 62, since Noida traffic during peak hours is its own daily challenge.
Working in Sector 62
This is an on-site role, not hybrid or remote, so plan around a daily commute to Sector 62. It's one of Noida's more established tech corridors, and there are a fair number of software companies in the immediate area, which tends to make it a decent spot for a first proper job in development since you're not isolated from the broader local developer community.
Django developer salaries in Noida for freshers and early-career hires vary a fair bit depending on company size, and this role sits in a reasonable middle range for someone with only a few months of hands-on experience rather than a full year or two.
Housing near Sector 62 tends to run a bit higher than in some of the newer, farther-out sectors of Noida, so a lot of early-career hires end up commuting in from nearby areas instead, which is part of why the cab support in the benefits package tends to get used more than people expect when they first take the job.
How to apply
Send over your resume along with links to anything you've built, whether that's a GitHub repo, a deployed side project, or code from an internship you can talk through in an interview. If you don't have much of a portfolio yet, a short write-up of one project you're proud of works just as well as a polished link.
We'd rather see three lines about a real bug you hunted down and fixed than a long list of frameworks you've briefly touched. Interviews for this role typically involve a short technical conversation followed by a small coding exercise, nothing designed to trip anyone up, just enough to see how you think through a problem in Python.
If English isn't your strongest language for writing, don't let that hold you back from applying. We're evaluating code and problem-solving here, not prose, and many strong developers are far more comfortable in a terminal than in an email.
