About the Role

We are looking for a Tech Lead who can own end-to-end architecture, development, and delivery of scalable web applications. This is a hands‑on leadership role, combining deep technical expertise with team mentorship, product thinking, and execution ownership.

• Proactively evaluate and recommend technologies to improve scalability and performance

Key Challenges & Must-Haves

• Strong fundamentals and core engineering basics are mandatory
• Prior experience working in a startup environment and willingness to thrive in fast-paced, evolving setups
• Relocation readiness is critical; past relocation-related backouts have been a concern
• Must be hands‑on and willing to take complete ownership of the system as a Tech Lead, beyond individual contribution
• Weak understanding of databases (schema design, queries, optimization). Poor grasp of microservices architecture.
• Cloud fundamentals and Deployment concepts
