About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Tech Lead who is passionate about building scalable, secure, and intelligent digital platforms or enterprise applications. The ideal candidate will bring expertise across backend (Python, Node.js, Java), frontend (any technology like Angular/React, Flutter/ReactNative), and guide teams in adopting microservices, cloud-native architectures, CI/CD, and AI-led development practices. While this role is hands-on in terms of guidance, design, and reviews, day-to-day coding is not the primary expectation. Instead, the Tech Lead will enable, mentor, and ensure best practices across teams.
