Connectors Engineer

Company and Product

Workplace and Role Details

• The role is based in Mumbai or Pune and is onsite.
• The department is Product Engineering and the role reports to the Engineering Manager.
• The posting states full-time employment and at least five years of experience, with hiring across mid, senior, and lead levels.

Engineering Outcomes

• Deliver complete connectors into customer laboratories from discovery and design through implementation, testing, validation evidence, and documentation.
• Take an unfamiliar target system from vendor identification to a working integration plan without waiting for a task breakdown.
• Improve shared connector frameworks and tooling so each connector makes subsequent delivery faster.
• Use AI tooling to reduce the time from vendor documentation to working, tested code.

Core Responsibilities

• Build C#/.NET Windows service connectors for instruments and laboratory systems.
• Work with REST, vendor SDKs, COM/OLE, file systems, databases, serial protocols, and network protocols.
• Build for locked-down laboratory PCs, restricted networks, and machines that cannot be restarted freely.
• Meet data integrity and validation requirements in regulated environments.
• Troubleshoot integration issues in customer environments using structured problem-solving.
• Participate actively in design reviews, code reviews, and Agile ceremonies.
• Senior and Lead engineers lead new integration approaches and mentor colleagues.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Strong C# and .NET experience, including long-running Windows services rather than only web applications.
• Experience making integrations reliable when working with systems the candidate did not build or cannot change.
• Ability to determine system behavior from incomplete or missing documentation.
• Daily hands-on use of AI coding tools with sound judgment when reviewing their output.
• Track record of delivering against goals rather than predefined task lists.
• Strong fundamentals in software design, testing, debugging, Git, and CI/CD.

Good-to-Have Experience

• Experience with COM/OLE, Windows API, serial, GPIB, TCP/IP, or file-based integrations.
• Experience with laboratory informatics or scientific instruments, including LIMS, ELN, CDS, and chromatography.
• Experience with GxP, GAMP 5, 21 CFR Part 11, regulated software, or data integrity.
• Experience with Kafka, RabbitMQ, distributed or event-driven design, Node.js/TypeScript, cloud services, or AWS.
• Experience building AI agents or working with MCP servers.

Engineering Culture

• Engineers deliver features and outcomes rather than tickets and are expected to determine how systems work.
• AI-assisted development is used for design, code generation, testing, and documentation, with engineers accountable for the result.
• Connectors run in validated GxP laboratories, making data integrity, traceability, and auditability core design constraints.
• Team members are expected to identify problems, propose solutions, learn from mistakes, and share improvements.

Success Indicators

Why Join Scitara
