Writing and maintaining software in a product company, a services firm or a startup: features, bugs, tests, reviews, on-call. It is the most common destination for interns in the graph and one of the largest roles overall. Entry is a BTech, BCA or MCA campus placement, a bootcamp plus a strong portfolio, or a move from QA or DevOps. Bengaluru leads. The most common next step is senior software engineering after several years; JavaScript, HTML and Java are the skills the graph sees before it.
