Role Overview The Lead Engineer will lead the complete technology build and delivery of the BLive Mobility platform, a global SaaS solution integrating EV fleet management, charging infrastructure, driver operations, and carbon management. This role demands a hands-on engineering leader who can architect, code when needed, and manage a cross-functional team across frontend, backend, DevOps, and QA. The AVP will define the technical roadmap, drive system design, ensure performance and security, oversee database migration, and lead the transition from a monolithic to a microservices-based architecture to scale the platform across India and globally. Key Responsibilities 1. Technology Leadership & Platform Ownership - Own the end-to-end engineering strategy, roadmap, and execution for the BLive Mobility platform. - Architect and build a scalable, modular, multi-tenant SaaS platform integrating Fleet, Charging, Driver, and Carbon modules. - Collaborate closely with Product Management to translate feature roadmaps into sprint-ready engineering plans. - Drive continuous delivery, code quality, and release discipline for platform reliability and uptime. - Manage system scalability, availability, and cost optimization on AWS Cloud. 2. Hands-On Development & Architecture - Lead by example — contribute to coding, architecture design, and code reviews where required. - Deep expertise in Node.js/NestJS, microservices, and AWS Cloud Architecture. - Provide technical direction for Flutter and React-based frontend development. - Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS), containerization, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Ansible). - Design and maintain event-driven systems using Kafka, SQS, SNS with strong observability using ELK, Prometheus, Grafana. - Oversee database migration projects, ensuring seamless transition from monolith to microservices. - Manage integrations with ERP systems, OEM telematics, CIAM, and external APIs. - Partner with DevOps for secure, automated, and observable infrastructure (CI/CD, IaC). 3. Engineering Execution & Team Leadership - Build, mentor, and manage a high-performing engineering team (Frontend, Backend, DevOps, QA). - Create a culture of ownership, innovation, and technical excellence. - Conduct regular technical and database schema reviews. - Collaborate with Product and Business teams for effective sprint planning and delivery. - Oversee vendor and partner integrations for accelerated project timelines. 4. AI, Data, and Innovation - Drive adoption of AI/ML for predictive analytics, route optimization, and carbon insights. - Work with data teams to establish real-time, event-driven data pipelines. - Explore emerging technologies to enhance platform intelligence and operational efficiency. Required Skills & Experience - 10+ years of experience in software development, architecture, and engineering leadership. - Proven track record in building or scaling multi-tenant SaaS platforms. - Deep expertise in Node.js/NestJS, microservices, and AWS Cloud Architecture. - Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS), containerization, and IaC (Terraform/Ansible). - Strong understanding of event-driven systems (Kafka, SQS, SNS) and cloud observability (ELK, Prometheus, Grafana). - Proficiency in Flutter and React for modern frontend architecture. - Experience with RDBMS and NoSQL databases (Postgres, MongoDB, DynamoDB). - Proven experience in database migration and monolith-to-microservices transformation. - Exposure to security, compliance, and performance tuning at scale. - Ability to make build-vs-buy decisions, manage vendors, and balance short-term delivery with long-term scalability. Preferred Qualifications - Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. - Prior experience in EV mobility, fleet tech, logistics, or IoT platforms. - Familiarity with AI/ML integrations, telematics data, or carbon analytics. Soft Skills - Strategic thinker with a builder’s mindset. - Strong leadership, communication, and collaboration skills. - Analytical, solution-oriented, and detail-focused. - Passionate about mentoring and growing technical talent. - Entrepreneurial mindset with focus on execution speed and product excellence.
