Description du poste

Role Overview

We are seeking a high-velocity Senior Technical Lead with an overall experience of 12+ years in software engineering who thrives in an environment of autonomy and rapid iteration, we don't just write code; we build resilient systems.

This role is designed for a builder who embraces our core philosophy: Build, Ship, Measure, Improve. You will be responsible for taking features from a raw concept to a live environment, ensuring that every deployment delivers high technical excellence and system stability. You are not just an executor; you are a technical owner and system architect who understands that the "Ship" is only the midpoint of the system lifecycle.

What Were Looking For (Who You Are)

• AI Systems Architect (5+ years in AI - LLM, RAG, Context Engineering, ReAct, Prompt): You've shipped multiple production LLM systems at scale.
• Deep understanding of RAG, fine-tuning, prompt optimization, inference scaling, and cost management. You make pragmatic trade-offs between accuracy, latency, and cost.You are accountable for the high quality solution and timely shipment of the feature as per committed timeline.
• Technical Lead Manager (TLM): In this role you will do 70% technical work and 30% people management & project management work. You've led engineering teams (4-8+ engineers). You grow engineers through mentoring, clear feedback, and ownership. You balance shipping speed with technical excellence and team development.
• The "Builder" Mentality: You have a bias toward action. You prefer a

working feature over a perfect specification and understand the value of

getting software into the hands of users early. You will not leave the tech

debt for a long time. Tech debt will be continuously addressed as product matures.

• Pragmatic Architect: You choose the right tool for the job, balancinglong-term scalability with the immediate need for speed and delivery.
• Cross-functional engagement: Partner with Product, QA, and Solution Architects, Project manager to align execution with outcomes
• Continuous Learner: You view "Improvement" as a mandatory phase, not an optional one. You are eager to refactor and pivot based on objective evidence.

• RAG pipeline architecture, fine-tuning strategies, prompt engineering, Agentic patterns, multi-step reasoning, reliability under uncertainty

Fullstack depth

• Backend: Python(FastAPI,Django) and Node.js (Express,Nest.js)
• Frontend: React (TypeScript, state management, performance optimization)
• Databases: PostgreSQL (query optimization, schema design, scaling)
