Pune's Hinjewadi tech corridor has a Senior GIS Developer opening, full time, on site, with a company that builds spatial data products for clients across logistics and urban planning. Seven years of hands-on experience is the expectation here, and the role reports into a technical lead who reviews architecture decisions but otherwise leaves day-to-day implementation choices to the senior developers on the team.
The work itself runs through the usual senior developer rhythm: implementing new features against project requirements that sometimes arrive well-specified and sometimes arrive as a rough sketch that needs real interpretation, debugging issues that only show up once real spatial data hits an edge case nobody modeled for, documenting decisions so the next person doesn't have to reverse-engineer them, and sitting in code reviews that go both directions. A senior title here means junior developers' work lands on your desk for review as often as your own work lands on someone else's.
The required skill set is ArcGIS or QGIS, spatial databases such as PostGIS, Python for scripting and automation, and geospatial analysis more broadly, including projection systems and the kinds of coordinate transformation bugs that look trivial until they've cost someone an afternoon. A candidate who's only worked with clean, pre-projected data in a course setting will find the messier real-world datasets here a genuine adjustment.
A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with practical, hands-on project experience and demonstrated proficiency in the tools this role actually uses day to day. The team weighs a strong portfolio of shipped spatial applications more heavily than academic credentials alone, particularly for a role at this seniority level.
Hinjewadi has grown into one of Pune's largest IT clusters, and the office here sits within a short commute of several other established tech parks, which matters for a team that occasionally collaborates with partner companies nearby on joint client projects. The commute itself tends to be a genuine consideration for candidates weighing this role against similar ones elsewhere in the city, since traffic patterns in this corridor shift noticeably by time of day.
Naukri Mitra has carried a few software development postings from this employer, and past hires describe the spatial data problems here as genuinely more interesting than most GIS roles they'd previously held, largely because the client base spans logistics routing and municipal planning rather than a single narrow use case. That variety keeps the work from becoming repetitive, though it also means ramping up on a new client's data model happens more often than at a company serving one industry.
Interviews include a technical round working through a spatial query problem, plus a portfolio review where you'll walk the panel through a project you've built end to end. Candidates who can speak honestly about a spatial data project that didn't go as planned, and what they'd do differently, tend to interview better than those who only present clean successes.
Performance reviews here happen twice a year, and for senior developers the conversation focuses less on individual ticket velocity and more on whether the systems you've touched have gotten easier or harder for the rest of the team to work in. A senior GIS developer who ships fast but leaves behind spatial models nobody else can extend without a full rewrite tends to get pushed to slow down and document more, even if the immediate output looked strong.
The client mix shifts a few times a year as new contracts come in, which means the specific spatial problems this role deals with aren't fixed. One quarter might be dominated by routing optimization for a logistics client, the next by land-use classification for a municipal planning contract. Developers who enjoy that kind of variety tend to stay in this role longer than those who'd rather go deep on one narrow domain indefinitely, and the team is upfront about that during interviews so nobody's surprised six months in.
This role is based at Hinjewadi, Pune, pin code 411057, five days a week on site. Compensation runs up to ₹1,25,500 a month depending on experience and the specific spatial tooling background a candidate brings. The team is aiming to fill this seat within five to six weeks.
