Also present
.NET engineers. Software for managing property, maintenance and rentals has long been built on the Microsoft stack. .NET engineers build it in C# with Angular or React, SQL Server and ASP.NET, at Trimble, the facilities-maintenance software company ServiceChannel, the rental-property software company RealPage, the construction-estimating company RIB Software and the property-management software company MRI Software. They are more than three times as common here as at a typical product company, and many times as common in running the building.
Frontend engineers. Construction teams work in the browser on large drawings, schedules and budgets. Frontend engineers build these screens in React and TypeScript, often with micro frontends, mostly at Procore and the aerial-measurement company Eagleview. They are about twice as common here as elsewhere, and they take juniors.
Full-stack and Node engineers. Procore hires many full-stack engineers in React with Ruby on Rails and GraphQL, and Node engineers in TypeScript with PostgreSQL. Both are well above their usual weight, and the full-stack roles take juniors readily.
Mobile engineers. People on a building site work from a phone or tablet, often without a signal. Mobile engineers build these apps, mostly for iOS in Swift and SwiftUI with offline-first design, at Procore above all. They are more than twice as common here as elsewhere.
Java backend and full-stack engineers. Procore, Trimble and the workplace-software company Eptura build parts of their platforms in Java, usually full-stack with React. Java is less common here than at most product companies.
GenAI engineers. Trimble, the infrastructure-project software company Sitetracker and MRI Software hire GenAI engineers, building assistants and agents for project and property work, in Python with LangChain, LangGraph and MCP. GenAI holds about its usual place, and it grew sharply through 2026.
Test engineers. Trimble hires most of the testers here, in Java with Cypress, Playwright and Selenium. Testers are less common here than at most product companies.
Also present. Backend engineers at Procore and the property-tech start-up RiVirtual, many of them juniors, Python engineers at the kitchen-design software company Cyncly and the construction-AI start-ups, like Beam AI and Attentive.ai, data engineers at the infrastructure-design company Bentley Systems and Trimble, generalist software engineers, platform and Salesforce developers, firmware engineers at the building-controls company BICSYS, Go engineers at the home-interiors platform Livspace, Software Engineer, Security roles at Procore, and a few design-software engineers.
Rare here. Cloud, C/C++ and SAP work is far less common than at most product companies.
Where in the Industry Vertical the work is
Market Segment 41.1Construction tech holds a large share of the hiring, almost all in Planning and running the project, through Procore in Bengaluru, Trimble in Chennai, and RIB Software, Bentley Systems and Sitetracker. .NET, frontend, mobile, Java, GenAI, full-stack and Node engineers all hire there. Measuring, buying and building hires frontend and Python engineers at Eagleview and the construction-AI start-ups.
Market Segment 41.2Property and facilities management software is next, and it is a .NET corner. The property-management, facilities-maintenance, rental-property, workplace and self-storage software companies hire .NET engineers above all, with some Java.
Market Segment 41.4Real estate portals and mortgage tech hires Java, backend, GenAI and .NET engineers at the mortgage-servicing companies, like Altisource and Sagent, the property-data company Cotality, RiVirtual and home-search platforms, like Zillow and NoBroker. It is one of the most open corners for juniors.
Market Segments 41.6, 41.5 and 41.3 hire little. Home interiors and renovation platforms hire Go, Python, Java, test and .NET engineers at Cyncly and Livspace, and it is open to juniors. Coworking and co-living spaces, and the apartment society management apps, like Mygate and Amenify, hire very little.
Some companies listed here have their main home elsewhere. They are Kidde Global Solutions (Market Segment 37.9, in Industry Vertical 37, Manufacturing tech), ServiceTitan (Market Segment 15.6, in Industry Vertical 15, Customer service and CX) and StarRez (Market Segment 42.3, in Industry Vertical 42, Edtech), with several smaller names. Their hiring is described where they live, not here.
Bengaluru leads, through Procore, MRI Software, ServiceChannel, Livspace and Eagleview. Chennai is almost entirely Trimble. Pune appears through Bentley Systems, RIB Software and Cyncly, Delhi NCR through Eptura and the construction-AI start-ups, Hyderabad through RealPage and the self-storage software company Storable, and Kolkata through RIB Software.
