Position : Backend Technical Lead (B2B SaaS)

Overall/Total Experience : 6-10 years only

Location : Bengaluru

Working Days : 5 Days from Office

Notice Period Requirement : 60 Days (Maximum)

Client's Company Size : Startup / Small Enterprise

Roles & Responsibilities :

- Design and build core platform services that handle complex business logic reliably at scale.

- Architect and own integrations with external enterprise systems, each with their own quirks, rate limits, and failure modes.

- Build APIs that enterprise engineering teams actually want to integrate with, not just ones that technically work.

- Own production debugging end to end: diagnose issues across services using logs, traces, and metrics, and make incidents boring rather than fires.

- Embed security and compliance thinking into your systems by default, not as a retrofit.

- Mentor the Senior Backend Engineers in your pod: pair on hard problems, review their work, and help them grow as engineers.

- Set the architectural direction for your domain: choose the frameworks, patterns, and abstractions the team builds on, and make the calls that shape the platform for years.

- Lead design reviews and code reviews and set the technical standard the rest of the team calibrates against.

- Partner with product, implementation, and customer success as the engineer who understands the system deeply enough to push back when requirements are wrong.

Candidate Requirements :

- Must have minimum 6+ years of overall Software Engineering/Development experience building production backend systems.

- Must have Tech Lead ownership, with experience setting technical direction, architecture, frameworks, or engineering standards used by other engineers.

- Must have strong hands-on Backend development experience with deep proficiency in at least one backend programming language (Python, Java, Golang etc).

- Must have strong System design/distributed systems experience, including architectural trade-offs, scalability, failure modes, reliability, and long-term maintainability.

- Must have strong CS fundamentals in Data Structures & Algorithms, Operating Systems, and Networking.

- Must have formal technical leadership experience, including mentoring Senior Engineers, conducting design/code reviews, driving engineering quality, and leading technical decisions across a team.

- Must be a hands-on IC + Tech Lead, with approximately 70 - 80% hands-on coding/engineering involvement, not a pure people-management profile.

- Must be from Product Companies / Startups / B2B SaaS.

- Must have a CS degree or equivalent (B.Tech/B.E./B.S.).
