I am looking for a senior software engineer from India.
I need a robust Windows-based application that can grab IRCTC Tatkal tickets faster than manual entry. The core job is full-cycle automated booking: log in, search, select quota and passengers, and confirm payment without human intervention. Two advanced capabilities are non-negotiable. First, the program must solve IRCTC’s captcha in real time—either through a reliable OCR/AI routine or an external service like 2Captcha, Anti-Captcha, or a comparable API you prefer, as long as the response time stays under a couple of seconds. Second, the tool should let me manage and run multiple IRCTC credentials side by side so several bookings can fire simultaneously without sessions colliding. Speed matters more than a pretty interface, yet the UI should be clear enough for power users who may tweak train numbers, class, dates, or passenger lists on the fly. I’m comfortable if you build in C#, .NET, or Python with Selenium/WebDriver, multithreading, and direct HTTP calls—use whatever combination keeps latency low and stability high. Requirements: - Proven experience with IRCTC Tatkal automation tools - Strong command of .NET (C#), WinForms/WPF, and HTTP request handling - Familiarity with IRCTC site structure, session management, captcha/OTP integration, and booking flow - Ability to quickly identify and fix issues caused by recent IRCTC updates - Must have updated or maintained Tatkal software before ----------Please do NOT apply if: - You’re unfamiliar with IRCTC’s booking system - You’re looking to experiment or learn on the job - You haven’t worked on Tatkal automation tools previously This is a time-sensitive and performance-critical project, so only serious and experienced developers should reach out. ---- If you meet the criteria and have successfully handled similar updates before, please message me directly with your experience and past work samples. Key expectations • You already have proven experience building or maintaining IRCTC Tatkal automation tools; this is not a first-time experiment.
