SLB – Associate Software Engineer

Job Description

SLB is hiring an Associate Software Engineer in Coimbatore as part of its Digital Technology & Research organization. The position provides an opportunity for software professionals to work on enterprise-level SAP development and business application solutions while collaborating with development leads, functional analysts, and technical architects. The engineer will be responsible for understanding business requirements, translating them into technical solutions, developing new functionality, enhancing existing applications, and supporting the complete software development lifecycle. A key aspect of the role is understanding how SLB's business operates, particularly in areas related to supply chain and operations, and using that knowledge to build applications that address real organizational requirements. This makes the role suitable for candidates interested in enterprise software development and technology-driven business transformation.

The Associate Software Engineer will work within established development standards, frameworks, technical governance practices, and engineering guidelines. Responsibilities include preparing technical specifications, discussing designs with technical architects, developing application components, conducting technical and functional testing, and deploying code across Test, Quality, and Production environments. The role provides exposure to the full progression of enterprise software delivery rather than limiting engineers to coding alone. By collaborating with functional and technical stakeholders, engineers can develop an understanding of how software applications support business processes, supply chain operations, and organizational workflows. This combination of SAP development, business analysis, testing, deployment, and technical governance can help early-career professionals build strong foundations in enterprise application engineering.

SLB operates as a global technology company focused on developing solutions that support the energy industry and contribute to a more balanced energy future. Joining its Digital Technology & Research organization provides an opportunity to work in a multicultural and globally distributed environment while learning from professionals across different technical and functional disciplines. The company emphasizes continuous learning, collaboration, systems thinking, initiative, and professional development. For candidates with an engineering or computer science background and an interest in SAP, enterprise applications, supply chain technology, software development, and business process automation, this Associate Software Engineer position can offer valuable exposure to international projects and modern enterprise technology practices.

• Develop new software functionality and enhancements for SAP applications, focusing on reliable implementation, maintainable code, and alignment with functional and technical requirements.
• Perform technical and functional testing to verify application behavior, identify defects, validate business requirements, and ensure that developed solutions are ready for subsequent environments.
• Manage application deployments across environments by supporting the movement of code through Test, Quality, and Production environments in accordance with established release and governance processes.
• Collaborate with development leads and functional analysts throughout the software development lifecycle to resolve technical questions, clarify requirements, and deliver business-focused application solutions.
• Apply technical governance practices by following approved standards, best practices, development methodologies, documentation requirements, and quality processes throughout implementation.
• Investigate and resolve application issues by analyzing technical problems, understanding business impact, identifying appropriate solutions, and collaborating with relevant teams when additional expertise is required.
• Contribute to continuous application improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance existing functionality, improve application performance, simplify processes, and strengthen the overall user experience.
• Work effectively with globally distributed teams by communicating project updates, coordinating development activities, and independently managing assigned responsibilities while maintaining delivery commitments.
