Descripción de la vacante

PALO IT in Mexico City is seeking a Tech Lead to drive end-to-end delivery of digital products, combining hands-on coding with guiding teams toward scalable, secure solutions.

You will shape architecture, emphasize REST APIs, OpenAPI, and CI/CD, and mentor engineers while collaborating with Product, QA, UX to plan iterative improvements. An AI-native mindset and strong English enable global collaboration.

Formación

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with proven technical leadership.
• Backend expertise in Java with testing (JUnit/Mockito) and performance awareness.
• Proven ability to design and communicate software architecture: microservices/modular monoliths, Clean/Hexagonal, SOLID, integration patterns, and API design.
• Strong engineering fundamentals: CI/CD, Git workflows, code reviews, observability, security by design.

Responsabilidades

• Lead the design and evolution of technology solutions, ensuring scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
• Drive architectural decisions and trade-offs (e.g., microservices vs modular monolith), applying patterns such as DDD, Clean/Hexagonal Architecture, and event-driven approaches when relevant.
• Design, build, and evolve REST APIs, including versioning, contract-first practices (OpenAPI), backward compatibility, and robust error handling.
• Define and enforce engineering standards: clean code, testing strategy, code reviews, observability, security practices, and CI/CD.
• Mentor and coach engineers, fostering a strong delivery culture and continuously raising the engineering bar.
• Partner with Product, QA, UX, and stakeholders to refine scope, assess technical risks, shape the roadmap, and deliver incrementally.
• Encourage AI-first engineering practices (Copilot/GenAI) with proper governance: quality gates, security, traceability, and testing.
