Job description

We are looking for a Lead Full Stack Engineer to guide a development squad, mentor junior engineers, and stay hands‑on building Java backend services and the supporting Angular frontend.

The mandatory requirements are Tech Lead or Squad Lead experience, 6+ years with Java and Angular, hands‑on Kafka, and domain‑driven design with bounded contexts.

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

• Remote work — Work from where you feel most productive.
• Local presence in India — Work in a structured and compliant environment aligned with Indian regulations.
• Competitive compensation in INR — Receive compensation in INR, plus support for learning, education, and wellness.
• Exciting projects — Work with modern technologies for global clients and fast‑growing companies.

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 a solid working knowledge of Angular, with at least 6 years of experience.
• Streaming & Messaging: Hands‑on experience with Kafka.
• Design Fundamentals: A strong grasp of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOA/OOD), software design patterns, and architectural pattern awareness.
• 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.
• Upper‑intermediate English level.

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).
• DevOps: Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Refactoring: Experience refactoring legacy structures into modern, domain‑driven architectures.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Technical Leadership & Execution: Act as the Squad Lead, driving the team to execute on deliverables while maintaining high engineering standards.
• Core Development: Spend a significant portion of your time designing and implementing robust backend services using Java and Spring Boot.
• Frontend Integration: Build and maintain the supporting Angular frontend, ensuring a seamless connection between the UI and your backend logic.
• 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.
