Role Overview

Technical Lead

The ideal candidate is a problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, product-driven environment and can act as the glue between developers, architects, product managers, and DevOps teams.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering Leadership

• Lead a team of engineers (typically 4–8) through all stages of the development lifecycle—from design to deployment.
  
• Assign and manage sprint tasks, conduct regular code reviews, and ensure coding standards and performance benchmarks are met.
  
• Foster a strong engineering culture by mentoring team members and promoting best practices in code quality, testing, and documentation.
  

Solution Delivery

• Translate business and technical requirements into engineering tasks and solution designs.
  
• Collaborate with architects to break down complex systems into manageable components.
  
• Ensure timely and high-quality delivery of features, bug fixes, and technical enhancements.
  

Technical Contribution

• Remain hands-on: contribute to codebase in high-priority or complex areas.
  
• Guide microservice design, API development, and data access patterns.
  
• Oversee DevOps integration (CI/CD pipelines, containerization, environment readiness).
  

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

• Interface with Product Owners, QA leads, and DevOps to manage dependencies and delivery timelines.
  
• Proactively communicate progress, risks, and mitigation plans to leadership.
  
• Contribute to sprint planning, backlog grooming, and release readiness activities.
