• Guide team members in implementing SQL and NoSQL database solutions.
• Review code, enforce coding standards, and ensure best practices in testing and DevOps alignment.
• Collaborate with the DevOps engineer on CI/CD pipelines, cloud deployments (AWS), and observability.
• Partner with UX designers to deliver visually appealing, performant, and user-friendly solutions.
• Work with QA engineers to ensure features are well-tested, reliable, and maintainable.

Qualifications

• Technical Skills
• 6+ years of professional full stack development experience.
• Expertise in Node.js, TypeScript, React, and Next.js.
• Strong knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS preferred) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Solid understanding of modern web architecture, scalability, and security practices.

• Leadership & Agile Skills
• 2+ years in a lead developer or team lead role.
• Experience as a Scrum Master or in a similar agile facilitation role.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Proven track record of mentoring and upskilling junior/mid-level developers.
• Ability to balance hands-on coding with team leadership responsibilities.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to lead a cross-functional Web Team (development, QA, UX).
• Collaborative environment with exposure to CRM systems and cloud infrastructure.
• Career growth into engineering management or broader technical leadership.
• Competitive salary with scope for progression.
