Urgent: Team Lead

Job Description

Title: Team Leader Software Development (MERN)

Location: Noida Sector 62 | Full-time | Onsite/Hybrid

About the Role

Seeking a hands-on Team Leader to drive design and delivery of enterprise-grade web applications using the MERN stack, modern DevOps, and scalable architectures. The ideal candidate blends technical depth with people leadership, can own end-to-end execution, and collaborates cross-functionally to ship high-quality, secure, and performant software.

What Youll Do :-

Technical Leadership:

- Lead full-stack development using MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js (TypeScript preferred).
- Own solution design, code quality, reviews, and best practices (performance, security, scalability).
- Implement REST/GraphQL APIs, JWT/OAuth2 auth, and database performance optimization.
- Build responsive, accessible UIs using React Hooks, Redux/Context, and CSS frameworks (Tailwind/Material-UI/Bootstrap).

Architecture & System Design:

- Design and evolve microservices, event-driven systems, and modular monoliths using SOLID principles and common patterns.
- Define API gateways, messaging (RabbitMQ/Kafka), caching (Redis/Memcached), and observability.
- Make trade-off decisions for availability, consistency, latency, cost, and team velocity.

DevOps & Infrastructure:

- Containerize and orchestrate services with Docker/Kubernetes; implement IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation).
- Set up CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins/GitLab CI), automated testing gates, and secure deployments.
- Administer cloud services (AWS/Azure/GCP) and core infra (SSL, domains, secrets, environments).

Delivery & Team Management:

- Lead a cross-functional squad (frontend, backend, QA, DevOps) through agile ceremonies (standups, planning, reviews, retros).
- Break down epics, prioritize roadmaps, manage risks/dependencies, and ensure on-time releases.
- Mentor engineers, drive knowledge sharing, uphold coding standards, and support hiring/onboarding.

Must-Have Skills:

- Strong MERN expertise: Node.js, Express.js, React.js, MongoDB; solid TypeScript and modern JavaScript (ES6+).
- Proven experience designing scalable systems (microservices/event-driven), API design, and database modeling.
- CI/CD and DevOps exposure: Docker, Kubernetes, Git workflows, automated testing, and environment management.
- Cloud proficiency in at least one major provider (AWS/Azure/GCP).
- Frontend fundamentals: React Hooks, state management (Redux/Context), component-driven development, and performance optimization.
- Quality mindset: unit/integration/e2e testing (Jest/Mocha/Cypress), linting, code review, and security best practices (OWASP).

Good-to-Have:

- Kafka/RabbitMQ, gRPC, WebSockets, server-side rendering (Next.js) experience.
- Caching and performance tuning (Redis, CDN, profiling).
- Monitoring/observability (Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, ELK).
- Experience with domain-driven design (DDD), event sourcing, and service mesh.
- Exposure to Strapi/Headless CMS, Vite/Webpack build optimization.

What Success Looks Like (First 6 Months):

- Ship at least one major release end-to-end with measurable improvements (latency, throughput, error rate).
- Establish and enforce coding standards, branching strategy, and CI/CD pipelines with quality gates.
- Improve test coverage and reduce incidents via proactive monitoring and root-cause analyses.
- Mentor team members and level up the squads execution and ownership.

Why Join:

- Build high-impact, large-scale systems with autonomy.
- Work with a modern stack and a strong engineering culture.
- Clear growth path toward Architecture/Engineering Management.
