📘 OX Job Code Guide

A comprehensive guide to understand how job codes are created, how to read them, and what each code means across OX Infy and OX Agry.

🧩 1. What is a Job Code?

A Job Code is a unique identifier for every job opening at OX Group. It helps HR, hiring managers, and internal systems track job postings efficiently.

Example 1: General SDE (L0-L1)

OXI-ENG-SDE-L1-202511-01

This code tells you:

• Company: OX Infy
• Department: Engineering
• Role: Software Development Engineer
• Level: L1 (SDE-I, 0-2 years)
• Posted: November 2025
• Sequence: First opening in that month

Example 2: SDE with Specialization (L2+)

OXI-ENG-SDE-BE-L2-202511-01

This code tells you:

• Company: OX Infy
• Department: Engineering
• Role: Software Development Engineer
• Specialization: Backend
• Level: L2 (SDE-II, 2-4 years)
• Posted: November 2025
• Sequence: First opening in that month

🧱 2. Job Code Format

Every job code follows this standard format:

{COMPANY}-{DEPT}-{ROLE}[-{SPEC}]-{LEVEL}-{YYYYMM}-{SEQ}

🔍 11. Common Scenarios

Scenario 1: Multiple Openings for Same Role in Same Month

OXI-ENG-SDE-L1-202511-01  → 1st SDE-I opening
OXI-ENG-SDE-L1-202511-02  → 2nd SDE-I opening

OXI-ENG-SDE-BE-L2-202511-01  → SDE-II (Backend)
OXI-ENG-SDE-FE-L3-202511-01  → Senior SDE (Frontend)

Note: Different levels and specializations, so sequence restarts at 01

Scenario 5: Same Level, Different Specializations

OXI-ENG-SDE-FE-L2-202511-01  → SDE-II (Frontend)
OXI-ENG-SDE-BE-L2-202511-01  → SDE-II (Backend)
OXI-ENG-SDE-MB-L2-202511-01  → SDE-II (Mobile)

Note: Different specializations are tracked separately

Scenario 3: Different Companies, Same Role

OXI-ENG-SDE-L1-202511-01  → OX Infy SDE-I
OXA-ENG-SDE-L1-202511-01  → OX Agry SDE-I

Note: Different companies, so sequence is independent

Scenario 4: Reopening a Closed Opening

OXI-PD-BA-L1-202511-01  → Posted Nov 2025, then closed
OXI-PD-BA-L1-202602-01  → Reopened Feb 2026 with new code

📖 12. Standard Terminology

Use consistent terminology across all job-related documents.

Standard Terms (Use These):

Term	Meaning	Example
Role	Job function	SDE, DOP, PM
Level	Career ladder position	L0, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6
Designation	Official name on records	SDE-II (Backend - NestJS)
Opening	Number of vacancies	"2 openings available"
Specialization	Tech track	Frontend, Backend, Mobile

Deprecated Terms (Do NOT Use):

Avoid This	Use Instead	Reason
Title	Designation	Western-style, use Designation for consistency
Position	Opening	Ambiguous (also means rank)
Grade	Level	Redundant, L0-L6 covers this
Band	Level	Redundant, L0-L6 covers this
Vacancy	Opening	Less common in tech
Job Vacancy	Opening	Verbose

Example:

❌ "We have 2 positions for the title of SDE at Grade 3"

✅ "We have 2 openings for the role of SDE at Level L2"

💡 13. Best Practices

1. Always use the most recent code when referring to a job posting
2. Include the full job code in all documentation, emails, and systems
3. Do not reuse old job codes - always generate a new one
4. Keep the slug consistent across multiple postings of the same JD
5. Update the sequence number properly when posting multiple openings
6. Document any custom roles added to the system
7. Use standard terminology as defined in Section 12

❓ 14. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I reuse an old job code?

A: No. Each job posting must have a unique code. Generate a new code even if reposting the same JD.

Q: What if we run out of sequence numbers?

A: Sequence goes from 01-99, supporting 99 openings per role per month. If you need more, consider splitting by location or other criteria.

Q: Can I change a job code after posting?

A: No. Job codes should remain unchanged once created. Close the old posting and create a new one if needed.

Q: What if we add a new department?

A: Follow the same naming convention (2-4 character code) and update this guide.

Q: How do I handle internships or contract openings?

A: Use L0 for Intern (e.g., OXI-ENG-SDE-L0-202511-01). For contract roles, add C suffix to the role title/slug.
