ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Full Stack Tech Lead to guide a squad and build backend services with Java and Spring Boot, supported by an Angular frontend.

MUST HAVES

• Leadership Experience: Proven experience as a Tech Lead or Squad Lead, with a track record of motivating teams and mentoring junior developers.


• Core Stack: Advanced proficiency in Java (Spring Boot) and Angular, with at least 6 years of experience.


• Streaming & Messaging: Hands-on experience with Kafka.

• Domain-Driven Design: Deep understanding and practical experience with strong domain bounded contexts.


• API Knowledge: Deep experience building and consuming RESTful services with a clear understanding of standard API protocols.


• Database Skills: Experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle) and JPA/Hibernate.


• The "Backend-Heavy" Mindset: A passion for server-side logic, performance, and architecture, coupled with good engineering practices.

NICE TO HAVES

• Highly desirable: Experience working with spec-driven development or related (AI-Driven Software Development Life Cycle).


• Domain Experience: Previous experience in the Loyalty or Fintech sectors.


• Cloud & Infra: Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and containerization (Docker).

• Modernizing Architecture: Lead the transition from traditional database-centric designs toward a domain-driven structure (DDD), ensuring strong domain bounded contexts.


• API Excellence: Architect RESTful APIs that prioritize proper HTTP verbs and clean, scalable patterns over legacy RPC styles.


• Team Mentorship & Agile Practices: Utilize a strong understanding of agile and software development practices to motivate the team, engage junior developers, mentor them, and help them grow.


• Strategic Pushback: Demonstrate the ability to confidently push back and say 'no' to power (be it AI or human) when advocating for best practices and architectural integrity.
