Technical Lead

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end system and architecture design for scalable, secure, and high-availability

systems.

• Lead the design and development of backend services and APIs, ensuring clean contracts,

versioning, and performance.

• Provide technical leadership across mobile (iOS/Android) and web applications, guiding key

architectural and implementation decisions.

• Collaborate with product, design, and other stakeholders to translate business requirements

into technical solutions and detailed engineering tasks.

• Define and enforce engineering best practices, coding standards, code review discipline, and

documentation quality.

• Guide database schema design, data modelling, and selection of appropriate database

technologies (SQL/NoSQL, caches, etc.).

• Make informed choices about cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS) including services

selection, deployment patterns, cost optimization, and observability.

• Drive adoption of industry-standard processes such as CI/CD, automated testing, code

quality checks, and release management.

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of software engineers through regular 1:1s, feedback, goal

setting, and career guidance.

• Act as technical escalation points for complex issues in development, performance,

reliability, and production incidents.

• Partner with QA and DevOps to ensure robust testing strategies, monitoring, and operational

excellence.

• Contribute hands-on to critical code paths, especially in early phases of projects or complex

features.

• Participate in and lead technical design reviews, architecture discussions, and roadmap

planning.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Minimum 7 years of professional software development experience.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of system design and architecture for large-scale, distributed, and

event-driven systems.

• Solid knowledge of database types and trade-offs (relational, NoSQL, caching, message

queues) and data modelling.

• Experience with cloud infrastructure platforms, preferably AWS (e.g., EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS,

DynamoDB, S3, API Gateway, Lambda).

• Demonstrated experience in mobile application development (native or cross-platform such

as React Native / Flutter).

• Demonstrated experience in modern web application development (e.g., React, Angular,

Vue, or similar).

• Proven experience in designing and implementing RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs, including

security, rate limiting, and documentation.

• Hands-on experience applying industry-standard software engineering processes

(Agile/Scrum, code reviews, branching strategy, CI/CD).

• Prior experience leading or playing a senior role in a software engineering team, with clear

people management responsibilities.

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics to both

technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Proven ability to take ownership, make trade-off decisions, and drive projects from concept

to production.

Good-to-Have / Preferred Skills

• Experience with microservices and event-driven architectures.
• Exposure to observability tools (logging, metrics, tracing) and performance tuning.
• Experience in regulated or quality-sensitive domains (e.g., healthcare, fintech) with a focus

on reliability and compliance.

• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) and container

orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Experience mentoring mid-level and junior engineers and building high-performing

engineering cultures.
