Barclays software engineer recruitment 2026 in Pune

The Barclays software engineer opening in Pune is less about writing app features and more about the plumbing around them. The listing says the person hired will work on Barclays' infrastructure and deployment pipelines. Several items on the skill list are about BI platforms, with Tableau and Power BI named.

Barclays posted this permanent role on 13 October 2026. The listing grades the expectations at analyst level. It names no degree, no minimum years of experience and no salary. There is also no closing date on the page.

Who this Barclays software engineer role suits

Read this part before you plan anything. The listing does not use the word fresher, and it does not give a number of years. It does say you "should have experience with" five areas, and every one of them is hands-on work. So this is a job for someone who has already done DevOps, automation or BI platform support work.

There is a second point to know. The analyst expectations section includes the line "They lead and supervise a team". The very next part says that if the role has leadership duties, a set of leader behaviours applies, "OR" an individual contributor builds technical depth. The listing does not say which of the two this seat is. We print both as Barclays wrote them.

Skills the listing asks for

These are the five areas Barclays wants you to have experience with, in our own words.

• Strong Python, both for development and for scripting.
• REST APIs, JSON, config files and automation frameworks.
• CI/CD, Git based development, automated deployment and moving code between environments.
• Support of enterprise BI platforms. Tableau and Power BI are named as preferred.
• Linux, job scheduling, authentication, credentials and monitoring of live systems.

Then come the skills Barclays calls "highly valued". These are a plus and not a must.

• Tableau Server admin work, or CI/CD for Tableau.
• The Power BI platform or the Power BI REST API.
• AWS automation and linking platform services.
• ServiceNow, Jira and enterprise change management.

The listing also says you may be assessed on some broader skills. It names risk and controls, change and transformation, business acumen, strategic thinking, and digital and technology. Job-specific technical skills are on that list too.

What a Barclays software engineer does here

The stated purpose of the role is to design, build and improve software that gives business, platform and technology features to customers and colleagues. The listing then sets out the main duties. We have put them in plain words.

You build good quality software with the languages, frameworks and tools the industry uses. Your code has to scale, stay easy to maintain and run fast. You work with product managers, designers and other engineers to agree what to build and how it fits the business. You take part in code reviews and share what you know. You keep up with new tech trends and give back to the tech groups inside the bank. You follow secure coding practice to protect data. And you write unit tests so the code is sound and easy to read.

At analyst level, the listing adds more on how you work. You do set tasks on time and to a high standard. You are expected to know your area well. Your work affects related teams. You own the risk and controls in your own work, and you report policy breaches. You deal with people outside your team and build contacts beyond it.

What this Barclays software engineer listing does not say

• Degree. No course or stream is named.
• Years of experience. No minimum is given.
• Salary. The pay field on the page is blank.
• Last date to apply. None is shown.
• Selection rounds. The listing does not describe them.
• Number of openings. Not stated.

A forwarded message may give you a package, a batch year or a test date for this role. That detail did not come from Barclays' listing.

How to prepare, mapped to the listing

The skill list is specific, so your prep can be too.

Start with Python scripts that talk to a REST API and read or write JSON. Then wrap one of them in a CI/CD pipeline that runs tests and deploys to a second environment. That one small project touches three of the five required areas. Git is part of it by default.

Next, BI platforms. The listing wants experience supporting Tableau or Power BI, not only building charts. If you have used the Power BI REST API or Tableau Server, note what you automated. Publishing, refreshes and access control are all fair examples.

Then Linux. Be ready to explain how you scheduled a job, how you stored a password or token safely, and how you knew when something broke. Those are the exact words the listing uses: job scheduling, credentials and monitoring.

Barclays also lists its values as Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence and Stewardship. Its mindset is to Empower, Challenge and Drive. You do not need to recite them. A real story about owning a risk or a control in your own work fits the analyst expectations better.
