You will lead a small, high‑performing, AI‑enabled team, translate ambiguous requirements from internal and external stakeholders into actionable work, and drive quality end‑to‑end.

• Stay hands‑on: design, build, review, and ship backend services; set the technical bar through your own code.
• Manage stakeholders across internal and external teams - converting ambiguous requirements into clear, actionable deliverables.
• Directly manage and grow a team (backend/frontend or full‑stack) - mentoring, planning, and performance management.

Professional & Technical Skills:

• Must To Have Skills: Proficiency in at least one backend stack (.NET / Golang / Java / Node.js).
• Strong hands‑on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and relational databases (PostgreSQL / MySQL).
• First‑hand experience writing unit and integration tests.
• Proven stakeholder management and people management skills.
• Minimum 1 year of experience using AI coding tools (Cursor / Claude); evidence of championing these tools at their org/unit.
• Prior experience managing a team of at least 3 people.
• Comfortable working in a MacBook (macOS) professional environment.
• Good to have: working knowledge of frontend development (React / Angular / HTML).

Additional Information:

• The ideal candidate is a strong hands‑on engineer and a go‑getter who leads by building, not just delegating.
• Proven ability to lead an AI‑enabled team and coordinate across cross‑functional and client teams in ambiguous environments.
• This position is based at our Bangalore / Gurgaon office.
