Team Leadership & Mentorship:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Lead to guide our multi-disciplinary engineering team, which sits at the intersection of backend, front-end, and artificial intelligence. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is passionate about building robust, scalable systems and mentoring a diverse team of engineers.

You will be responsible for our platform's technical architecture, operational excellence, and the successful delivery of complex features. The ideal candidate is a "player-coach"—someone who can zoom out to define technical strategy, zoom in to write code for critical components, and collaborate across functions to bring our product vision to life.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and support a diverse team of backend, front-end, and AI/ML engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and psychological safety.
• Conduct regular code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and guide the team's professional and technical development.
• Help plan and prioritize the team's work, manage sprints, and remove technical roadblocks.

Technical Strategy & Architecture:

• Design, architect, and oversee the implementation of highly scalable, resilient, and performant systems.
• Make key decisions on technology, frameworks, and infrastructure to meet business and product goals.
• Ensure our AI models are a first-class citizen in our platform, focusing on their seamless integration, deployment, and scalability.

Hands-On Development & DevOps:

• Remain hands-on, contributing to the codebase (especially in Python and ) to set standards and tackle the most complex challenges.
• Champion and implement DevOps best practices, including CI/CD, infrastructure as code (IaC), automated testing, monitoring, and observability.
• Own the team's operational health, from deployment pipelines to production stability and incident response.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Partner closely with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to translate ambiguous business requirements into concrete technical solutions.
• Effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Qualifications (Must-Haves)

• Experience: 10+years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 4+ years in a technical leadership, team lead, or senior/staff engineer role.
• Scalability: A proven track record of designing, building, and deploying highly scalable, distributed systems in a production environment (e.g., microservices, event-driven architectures).
• Python Expertise: Deep proficiency in Python and its ecosystem, especially for building robust backend APIs (e.g., using Flask, Django, or FastAPI).
• Front-End Expertise: Strong experience with modern front-end frameworks, particularly , and a solid understanding of building complex, data-driven user interfaces.
• DevOps & Cloud Mastery: Comprehensive knowledge of DevOps principles and tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible).
• Cloud Fluency: Extensive experience building and deploying on a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Leadership: Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, drive technical consensus, and lead complex projects from inception to completion.
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Haves)

• Hands-on experience with the AI/ML lifecycle, including MLOps, model serving, and integrating models (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) into production applications.
• Experience with data engineering pipelines and tools (e.g., Airflow, Kafka, Spark).
• Deep expertise in database design and optimization (both SQL and NoSQL).
• A Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical degree.

Please note that this is not a junior role and people with less than 7 years experience will not receive any response from us.
