Job description

Experience Required: 8+ Years (with at least 2 years in a Lead / Tech Lead capacity)

Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We are looking for a seasoned Full Stack Lead Engineer who brings deep, first-principlesexpertiseacross the entire technology stack — not just surface-level familiarity. This is not a generalist position; we expect the candidate toownarchitectural decisions, lead technical delivery end-to-end, mentor engineers, and interface confidently with clients and stakeholders. The right candidate will be equally at home writing optimized backend logic, designing scalable system architecture, tuning database queries, setting up cloud infrastructure, and driving code quality across the team.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Own end-to-end technical delivery of complex, multi-tier projects from design through deployment.
• Drive architecture decisionsincludingsystem design, API design, database modeling, and cloud infrastructure — with documented trade-off analysis.
• Define and enforce coding standards, design patterns, and best practices across the stack.
• Conduct in-depth technical reviews of architecture documents, design proposals, and pull requests.
• Proactivelyidentifytechnical debt, performance bottlenecks, and scalability risks; propose and implement remediation plans.

Frontend Development

• Design and build complex, high-performance UIs using React.js / Next.js and/or Angular with TypeScript.
• Architect reusablecomponentlibraries, state management strategies (Redux,Zustand,NgRx), and micro-frontend patterns.
• Drive frontend performance optimization — code splitting, lazy loading, caching, and bundle size analysis.
• Design and implement robust, scalable REST APIs and event-driven microservices using Node.js, Python /FastAPI, and/or Java / Spring Boot.
• Apply SOLID principles, domain-driven design (DDD), and clean architecture patterns in backend code.
• Implement security best practices: OAuth2, JWT, RBAC, input validation, rate limiting, and API gateway patterns.
• Build andmaintainasynchronous processing using message queues (Kafka / RabbitMQ / AWS SQS).

Database & Data Layer

• Design normalized relational schemas and write optimized queries in PostgreSQL / MySQL / SQL Server.
• Model and query NoSQL data stores (MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis)appropriate tothe access patterns.
• Implement data migration strategies, indexing plans, query optimization, and connection pooling.
• Understand ACID vs. BASE trade-offs and apply the right consistency model for the use case.
• Architect and deploy cloud-native solutions on AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudFront, VPC, IAM).
• Design CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or AWSCodePipeline; enforce quality gates (lint, test, security scans).
• Work with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes / EKS) for scalable deployments.
• Apply Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform / CDK) and enforce cloud cost optimization practices.
• Set up observability stacks: logging (CloudWatch / ELK), metrics (Prometheus / Grafana), and distributed tracing (Jaeger / AWS X-Ray).

AI / GenAI Tooling

• Actively use and champion AI-assisted development tools — GitHub Copilot, AmazonCodeWhisperer, or equivalent — to improve team velocity.
• Understand LLM API integration patterns (OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock) and apply them to product features where relevant.
• Evaluate GenAI tooling for internal workflows (code review assistants, test generation, documentation) and drive adoption.

People, Process & Client Engagement

• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through structured 1:1s, pairing sessions, and code reviews.
• Lead sprint planning, estimation, and delivery tracking in Agile/Scrum environments.
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for clients — translate business requirements into technical specifications and manage expectations proactively.
• Collaborate with Product, QA, and DevOps teams to ensure seamless delivery and high-quality releases.
• Participate in pre-sales, technical scoping, and effort estimation for new client engagements whenrequired.
