S&P Global Hiring 2026: Software Engineer and Index Intern in Hyderabad and Mumbai

S&P Global hiring 2026: two openings

S&P Global Hiring 2026 covers two separate openings, and the eligibility for each is quite different. One is a Software Development Engineer role in the Information Security team, based in Hyderabad. The other is an Index Engineering internship, based in Mumbai. If you are a fresher or a current student, the Mumbai internship is the one that fits you. The Hyderabad engineering role expects about a year of prior experience, so read both sections below before you decide which one to apply for.

Both roles lean heavily on Python, so that skill carries across either way. Here is what each role involves, who qualifies for it, and how to apply on the official S&P Global careers site.

The Software Development Engineer role (Information Security)

This position sits inside the Information Security function at S&P Global in Hyderabad. The full title is Associate Software Development Engineer, and the work blends software development with security. Your main tasks would be:

• Helping with secure design reviews and code reviews
• Taking part in threat modelling, which means mapping out how a system could be attacked before it ships
• Auditing AI agents that the company uses

The AI auditing part is why the role asks for a basic understanding of AI and large language models on top of standard security knowledge. The skills named in the posting are:

• Python for scripting and building tools
• Application security fundamentals, including the OWASP Top 10 list of common web vulnerabilities
• Networking basics such as TCP/IP
• TLS and PKI fundamentals, which cover how encrypted connections and certificates work
• A foundational awareness of AI and LLMs

This is an early-career role. The posting asks for roughly one year of security or software experience, so it suits a recent graduate who already has about a year in the field, or someone finishing their first year at work. If you have just graduated with no work experience, this is not the listing to target. The salary is not disclosed in the public posting.

The Index Engineering internship

The second opening is an Index Engineering internship, and it is based in Mumbai, not Hyderabad. This one is open to current students and recent graduates, so it is the fresher-friendly option in this S&P Global Hiring 2026 round.

As an intern on the Index Engineering team, you would build Python tools and dashboards that automate index work. The posting names Streamlit and Dask for this. Streamlit is a library for turning Python scripts into simple web dashboards, and Dask helps run data work across larger datasets. The work is about writing Python that turns raw index data into tools other teams can use, so the focus here is data handling and analysis.

The skills listed for the internship are:

• Python
• Data analysis
• Git for version control, which tracks code changes across a team
• pandas and NumPy, the two core Python libraries for working with tables and numerical data

The stipend and the internship duration are not stated in the public posting.

Eligibility and who should apply

The two roles in this S&P Global Hiring 2026 round have different degree and experience requirements, so match yourself to the right one.

For the Hyderabad Software Development Engineer role, you need a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Information Security. It also prefers about one year of security or software experience, which means it is not a pure fresher role. A recent graduate with a year of work behind them is the right fit here.

For the Mumbai Index Engineering internship, you need a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Computer Science, Mathematics, Data Science or a related field. This one is an internship open to freshers and students, so a final-year student or a recent graduate can apply. A finance or maths background is accepted here alongside computer science, and the engineering role does not allow that.

Put simply: freshers and students should go for the Mumbai internship, and candidates with about a year of experience should look at the Hyderabad engineering role. If you want more options at your level, browse related software and data engineering jobs or check MCA and M.Sc roles.

How to apply

Both S&P Global Hiring 2026 roles are applied for on the company's own careers site, each as its own listing. The Software Development Engineer role in Hyderabad is here: S&P Global Associate Software Development Engineer. The Index Engineering internship in Mumbai is a separate listing on the same S&P Global careers site, so search for the Index Engineering intern role there to find and apply to it.

S&P Global does not charge a fee to apply for either role. If anyone asks you for money, a deposit, or payment for training in exchange for one of these jobs, it is a scam. Every genuine step happens on the official careers site.
