at Grover
Grover is hiring a Sr. Backend Software Engineer (Python) (m/w/x) in its Technology team, based in Berlin HQ. The posting is in English, which usually means the team works in English. Curated from the company's own careers page. Apply there directly.
Visa. This looks like an IT, engineering or science role, the groups German law treats as shortage occupations for the EU Blue Card (§18g AufenthG). That means the lower salary threshold applies: €45,934 a year in 2026, instead of €50,700. You also need a degree that is recognised or comparable in Germany; check yours in anabin before you apply. Step by step: Blue Card application from India.
Sponsorship. The posting does not mention visa support. Many German employers still hire from abroad on a Blue Card; ask the recruiter early whether they sponsor, and whether they can wait the usual 4 to 12 weeks for the visa.
Language. The posting is in English, which usually means the team works in English. German still helps for everything outside the office, from the Ausländerbehörde to your landlord.
Salary. The posting does not state a salary; German employers often discuss it at the first interview, so know your number before then. Check what a gross figure means as take-home pay with the salary calculator. No offer yet? The Opportunity Card lets you come to Germany and search from here.
Berlin has the most diverse Indian community in Germany. Software engineers, PhD students, startup founders, artists, and long-settled families coexist across multiple neighborhoods. The scene is less corporate and more creative than Frankfurt or Munich, and Indian life here stretches across a broader range of professions and generations.
Where Indians tend to live: Charlottenburg (established families, professional), Prenzlauer Berg (young families, tech), Neukölln (students, artists, recent arrivals), Mitte (consultants, diplomats, startup people), Kreuzberg (creatives, mixed community).
