Software Engineer at Velaio, Remote (Global)

We are seeking a highly capable and intellectually curious Software Engineer with a strong academic and practical foundation in software engineering to join our technology enablement program. This role is designed for professionals with 1 to 3 years of experience who are eager to grow into technical leaders by acquiring deep knowledge of Zoho technologies, while actively participating in the design and implementation of real-world digital transformation solutions.

About the Role

As a Systems Engineer, you will not only receive hands-on training in Zoho applications (Zoho Creator, Zoho CRM, Zoho Analytics, among others), but also engage in meaningful client-facing work. We value professionals who combine strong technical capabilities with the soft skills required to lead, communicate effectively, and continuously improve.

This is not a passive learning opportunity — it’s an active role with space to research, propose, design, and deliver.

Requirements

Technical Skills Required

We are looking for a well-rounded professional with the foundational capabilities expected from a Systems Engineer:

• Solid understanding of core computer science principles, including algorithms, data structures, and software engineering practices.
• Strong problem-solving mindset, with proven ability to approach challenges methodically.
• Experience in either frontend development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Vue, Angular) or backend development (Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, etc.).
• Knowledge of software design patterns, system architecture, and best practices in application development.
• Experience with RESTful APIs and system integrations.
• Familiarity with relational databases and data modeling (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.).
• Exposure to low-code or business platforms (Zoho, Salesforce, etc.) is a plus but not required.
• Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new tools, technologies, and frameworks.

Professional & Cognitive Competencies

In addition to technical skills, we’re looking for someone with the core thinking and learning capacities that define an engineer:

• Critical thinking: Able to evaluate problems and solutions with depth, logic, and clarity.
• Analytical thinking: Strong ability to interpret data, processes, and system behaviors to inform design or debugging.
• Research orientation: Demonstrated ability to investigate technical challenges and independently identify effective solutions.
• Learning agility: Passion for knowledge, continuous improvement, and staying up to date with emerging technologies.

Soft Skills & Work Ethic

We believe that technical skills alone are not enough — we’re building a team of professionals who can communicate, lead, and grow in multidisciplinary environments. The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

• Results orientation: Focused on achieving high standards of quality and execution.
• Effective communication: Able to explain ideas clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Public speaking confidence: Willing and able to present solutions, participate in demos, and lead discussions.
• Meeting management: Capable of facilitating and contributing meaningfully in client and team meetings.
• Proactiveness: Constantly seeking ways to improve, contribute, and anticipate needs without waiting for direction.
• Team collaboration: Open to feedback and committed to shared goals in cross-functional teams.
• Commitment to continuous learning: Not just willing, but excited to evolve technically and professionally over time.

Language Requirement

• Spanish: Native or fluent (OPTIONAL)
• English: Good spoken English is required, as you will engage with tools, documentation, and occasional international collaboration.

What We Offer

• Full training in Zoho solutions.
• Access to challenging and rewarding projects that directly impact client business processes.
• A structured but flexible career path that can lead toward architecture, project leadership, or platform specialization.
• A culture of learning, experimentation, and shared knowledge.
• The opportunity to become part of a growing practice in Zoho technology and cloud-based business solutions.
