US-headquartered business transformation and technology solutions provider Altimetrik is all set to hire 150 of the best performing software coders, at the third edition of IndiaHacks 2016, a developers’ conference to be held in Bengaluru on March 19.
The coders will join Altimetrik’s global workforce of over 2,500 people and will be a part of the company’s Solutions Lab in Bengaluru.
Some of the key capabilities of the Solutions Lab include, information visualisation and engineering, device computing, experience-led behaviour, customer experience and enterprise cloud.
Altimetrik is a part of the $100-million Raj Vattikuti Ventures. The company’s India team of 1,500 employees is spread across Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Delhi and Mumbai.
“Hackathons like IndiaHacks 2016 are becoming a primary channel for us to hire coders who also demonstrate design thinking capabilities to come up with solutions for our customer segments across Financial, Healthcare, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Payments and Retail verticals. The 150 coders will be hired for roles such as, Research and Innovation Members, Mobile Developers, Solutions Developers and Analysts” Asha Poluru, Chief – People Experience (HR), Altimetrik told Business Line.
The company will offer remuneration packages of ₹4 lakh to ₹9 lakh per annum for coders who are freshers and ₹12 lakh to ₹15 lakh for coders with three years of experience.
Over the last three and a half years since Altimetrik began its operations in India, it has hired 5 per cent of its India employees from hackathons. IndiaHacks 2016 received over 50,000 registrations for the first phase of the Hackathon, a series of online hackathons that started on January 8 and ended on March 1.
Twenty five per cent of the participants were from outside India — Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Tokyo, China, Switzerland, Belarus, United States, Singapore and Japan.
Sachin Gupta, co-founder and CEO of HackerEarth, organiser of IndiaHacks 2016, which is being sponsored by 19 companies including Altimetrik, American Express, Walmart Labs, SAP, Verizon, IBM Bluemix, said, “The main motivation behind our sponsors to associate with IndiaHacks is to attract top technical talent.
“It gives them an opportunity to build a strong tech talent pipeline and position themselves as the employer of choice. Twenty teams have been short-listed for the final offline hackathon in Bengaluru and nine teams will emerge winners across nine tech tracks. Our sponsors will engage with all teams,” said Gupta.
