Experienced tech professionals looking for a move have a date to mark this week. PwC India is holding an in-person hiring drive from Tuesday, November 10 to Saturday, November 14, 2026, across its India locations, and it is looking for engineers in Java full stack, Java with AWS and AI, and DevOps roles. There is one catch candidates need to know upfront: this is not an open walk-in. Entry is strictly by invitation only, and only shortlisted candidates will receive an interview invite.
The drive is aimed at experienced professionals. If you have spent years building Java services, working with cloud platforms, or running production infrastructure, this opening is worth a careful look. PwC has also flagged urgent openings for Python developers with generative AI experience across its India offices.
Roles on offer in the PwC India hiring drive
According to the recruitment announcement, the in-person interviews cover three main skill areas:
- Java Full Stack Developer: Work spans React.js on the front end and AI-assisted development, with Spring Boot and microservices on the back end. The announcement asks for five or more years of experience.
- Java Developer with AWS and AI: The focus here is Java development paired with cloud services on AWS and hands-on use of AI tools in the development workflow. Five or more years of experience is expected.
- DevOps Engineer: The role covers cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines and production systems. The announcement asks for a minimum of six years of professional experience.
- Python Developer with Gen AI experience: PwC is also hiring Python developers with generative AI experience for urgent projects across its India offices.
The roles are spread across PwC India locations. Candidates should check which office the recruiter confirms for their shortlisted slot, since the drive runs in person.
Who can apply
The drive is built for experienced professionals, not fresh graduates. The broad eligibility, as per the announcement, is:
- A full-time engineering or postgraduate degree such as B.E., B.Tech, MCA, M.E., M.Tech, MBA or a two-year PGDM.
- Five or more years of experience for the Java roles, and six or more years for the DevOps role.
- Hands-on skills that match the role: for Java full stack, that means Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices and React; for DevOps, cloud platforms and CI/CD tooling.
- Willingness to attend an in-person interview at a PwC office between November 10 and 14.
Separate PwC India listings for Java full stack consultants in Gurugram describe the same skill mix, six or more years of experience, Spring Boot and microservices, REST APIs, cloud services and React, which lines up with what the drive is asking for.
How the invitation-only process works
You cannot simply turn up at a PwC office during the drive week.
- Submit your resume by email to the recruiter and complete the registration form the recruiter shares.
- The recruitment team screens applications against the role requirements.
- Only shortlisted candidates receive an interview invitation with the date, time and office location.
- Shortlisted candidates attend the in-person interview between November 10 and 14, 2026.
Because the drive is invitation only, the practical advice is simple: register as early as you can. The drive opens on Tuesday, November 10, which leaves very little time for late registrations to be screened and shortlisted. Make sure the resume you send matches the role, with your years of experience and the stack you have actually worked on.
What to prepare before the interview
For a drive like this, the interview is likely to test depth rather than breadth. Java candidates should be ready to walk through the systems they have built, how they designed APIs, and where they have used AI tools in their work. DevOps candidates should expect questions on the pipelines and infrastructure they have run in production, and on how they handled incidents.
Carry a copy of your resume, identity proof and the interview invite. If you hold AWS or cloud certifications, keep them handy. Since this is an in-person drive, plan travel to the office in advance rather than leaving it to the morning of the interview.
PwC has not officially announced compensation for these positions, so treat any salary figure on job portals as unconfirmed. Verify the latest details on the official careers page at pwc.in before applying.
