  • Mentorship & Collaboration:
    Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, guide them through technical challenges, and conduct thorough code reviews that emphasize learning and growth.
  • Cross-Functional Alignment:
    Collaborate with product managers, designers, DevOps, and QA teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions that are robust and customer-focused.
  • Innovation & Problem Solving:
    Stay ahead of emerging technologies, recommend process improvements, and proactively identify technical risks and mitigation strategies.
Requirements
  • Experience: 6–11 years of professional software development experience in product-based or high-growth technology environments.
  • Technical Expertise: Proficiency in at least one backend language (e.g., Java, Golang, Python, ) and hands-on experience with frameworks, RESTful API design, and microservices architecture.
  • System Thinking: Strong grasp of distributed systems, data structures, algorithms, design patterns, caching strategies, and scalability challenges.
  • DevOps Awareness: Working knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Database Proficiency: Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases, data modeling, and query optimization.
  • Testing & Quality: Proven experience implementing unit, integration, and performance testing frameworks.
  • Collaboration Skills: Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Ownership Mindset: A proactive approach to solving problems, driving projects to completion, and taking accountability for outcomes.
