Rajkamal Mahamuni Natarajan, MS, principal software engineer at Indeed Inc., has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Engineers for dedication, achievements, and leadership in information technology and software development.
With two decades of experience, Mr. Mahamuni Natarajan has established a successful career in information technology and software development. Since 2023, he has served as principal software engineer at Indeed.com, where he functions as a technical lead and architect for three internal products, including Imhotep and AutoGen. He also oversees the data storage system and query engine for these products, and is responsible for planning new features, mentoring engineers, and collaborating with business representatives to translate requirements into technical specifications that drive software development. His experience also includes roles as staff software engineer at Indeed.com from 2020 to 2023 and at Bazaarvoice from 2018 to 2020. He previously held roles as senior software engineer at Bazaarvoice from 2015 to 2018, IBM Global Business Process Services in 2015, and IBM Global Business Services from 2010 to 2012. Earlier in his career, he worked as a senior software engineer at IBM Global Business Process Services in Bangalore, India, from 2007 to 2010 and as an assistant system engineer at Tata Consultancy Services from 2004 to 2007.
Laying a strong educational foundation, Mr. Mahamuni Natarajan earned a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering from Bharathiar University, India, in 2004 and an MS in computer science from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India, in 2009. In addition, he volunteers with Persevere Now, an organization dedicated to helping formerly incarcerated individuals reintegrate into society by teaching them coding skills. He mentors participants, designs and conducts mock interviews, and delivers motivational speeches to inspire and guide them. He has also published three papers, with two additional papers currently in progress, and serves as a member of the review panel for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Reflecting on his path, he takes great pride in an algorithm he developed at Indeed to address machine overload. With numerous machines processing user queries, occasional bottlenecks would cause slowdowns. His innovative software predicts when a machine is nearing overload and redistributes queries to other machines, ensuring consistent performance. This solution is vital for Indeed’s goal of achieving a response time of three to five seconds for 75% of queries, maintaining efficiency and user satisfaction.
In light of his impressive undertakings, Mr. Mahamuni Natarajan has received recognition from the chief executive officer and chief information officer of ProQuest for his role in developing a product that won a CODE award, one of the most prestigious software accolades in the United States. He is also a multiple-time recipient of the Orion Award at IBM, earned a team award for his significant contributions at Bazaarvoice, and has approximately 12 citations for his published work. He attributes his success to perseverance, passion, the guidance of exceptional mentors, and the influence of his spiritual beliefs. Additionally, he credits embracing new challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation. Looking to the future, he aspires to become a leading principal software engineer while continuing to contribute to his field through additional publications and article reviews. He also remains committed to mentoring others, conducting mock interviews, and supporting formerly incarcerated individuals as they reintegrate into society.
