π Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
πΌ Position: Senior Engineer β Java
π§βπ» Experience: 8β12 years
π Qualification: BE/B.Tech, ME/M.Tech, M.Sc. Computer Science/Electronics or MCA
π’ Domain: Telecom, Roaming, AI & Network Intelligence

Mobileum says more than 1,000 communications service providers across 180+ countries rely on its solutions.
For professionals in India, Bengaluru is an important engineering location. Mobileum lists its Bangalore office at Embassy Prime, CV Raman Nagar, and has described India as a hub for its global engineering and innovation activities.
π€ Why This Role Is Excellent for Experienced Engineers
This position is especially attractive because it combines two highly valuable engineering tracks: mature distributed backend engineering and emerging Agentic AI.
The role can therefore help an experienced Java engineer transition toward an AI-enabled backend/platform engineering profile without abandoning core software engineering.
You’ll potentially gain experience in:
- β Core Java and distributed systems
- π€ LLM and Agentic AI applications
- π RAG and vector databases
- π§ Function/tool calling
- π§ LangGraph/LangChain-style orchestration
- π¨ Kafka and event-driven architecture
- ποΈ Couchbase, PostgreSQL, Redis and ClickHouse
- βΈοΈ Kubernetes/OpenShift
- π‘ Telecom and roaming systems
- π‘οΈ AI guardrails, evaluation and observability
- ποΈ High-availability, carrier-grade architecture
π§© Skills You Should Highlight
Core: Java, OOP, Collections, Multithreading, JVM fundamentals, Spring/Spring Boot, REST APIs, Microservices, Design Patterns, System Design, Distributed Systems.
Data & Messaging: Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, Couchbase, ClickHouse, database design and query optimization.
Cloud & Infrastructure: Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker, Linux, cloud-native architecture and CI/CD.
GenAI: LLM APIs, prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, function calling, agent workflows, LangGraph, LangChain, Python, evaluation and observability.
Telecom: Roaming, traffic steering, signaling, network operations and telecom protocols are major advantages.
π― Expected Mobileum Interview Rounds
Round 1 β Recruiter/Screening: Experience, notice period, current role, compensation and relevance to Java/AI.
Round 2 β Core Java & Coding: OOP, Collections, multithreading, Java internals, debugging, coding and problem-solving. Mobileum candidate reports have specifically mentioned Java, collections, threading, design patterns and debugging.
Round 3 β System Design: Microservices, distributed systems, Kafka, caching, databases, scalability and high availability.
Round 4 β GenAI/Project Deep Dive: RAG, tool calling, agents, LLM architecture, evaluation, your production projects and technical decisions.
Round 5 β Managerial/Leadership: Ownership, ambiguity, mentoring, architecture decisions and cross-functional collaboration.
π° Expected Salary Range
Public salary data for Mobileum Bengaluru shows Senior Software Engineer compensation around βΉ10β19 LPA, while Indeed reports an average of approximately βΉ13.41 LPA for Senior Software Engineers in Karnataka.
Considering this particular position requires 8β12 years of experience plus 1β2+ years of production LLM/Agentic AI experience, a reasonable market-oriented expectation could be approximately βΉ18β30+ LPA, depending heavily on current CTC, AI expertise, Java/system-design depth and negotiation.
π₯ Preparation Tips
Don’t prepare only conventional Java interview questions.
Build a small Agentic AI backend project where an LLM receives a user request, retrieves relevant documentation through RAG, calls a controlled tool/API and requires approval before performing a sensitive action.
Then be ready to explain:
βHow would you prevent an AI agent from making an incorrect configuration change on a live telecom system?β
Your answer should cover tool permissions, validation, guardrails, human approval, audit logging, rollback, observability and evaluation.
Also prepare a system-design problem such as:
βDesign a highly available traffic-steering platform capable of processing real-time telecom events.β
This directly connects your preparation with the JD instead of relying on generic interview preparation.
π Resume Tips for This Position
Your first half-page should immediately establish:
Senior Java Backend Engineer | Distributed Systems | GenAI/Agentic AI | Microservices | Kafka | Kubernetes
Quantify achievements wherever possible:
- βDesigned Java microservices processing X million events/day.β
- βImplemented Kafka-based event processing reducing processing latency by X%.β
- βBuilt production RAG pipeline using LLMs and vector search.β
- βDeveloped tool-calling workflows with approval and audit mechanisms.β
- βImproved service availability to X% through resilient distributed architecture.β

The hiring post asks interested candidates to send an updated CV to lavanya.b@mobileum.com. Since this is an email-based opportunity, use a professional subject such as:
Subject: Application β Senior Engineer β Java | 8β12 Years | Bengaluru
π Final Takeaway
This is not simply another Senior Java Developer position. The combination of Core Java + distributed systems + telecom + Kafka + Kubernetes + Agentic AI + RAG + LLM tool calling makes it a strong opportunity for experienced engineers looking to move toward AI-powered backend and platform engineering.
If you already have 8β12 years of Java experience and genuine hands-on experience building LLM applications in production, this role is particularly aligned with the current direction of enterprise software engineering. π₯
