The Mission :

We are looking for seasoned Sr. Technical Leads who relish solving deep, challenging engineering problems at petabyte scale.

In this high-leverage IC leadership role, you will define the architectural foundation of our next-generation AI content performance platform, setting technical standards and mentoring senior engineers across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities :

Architectural Leadership :

- Architect, design, and implement fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable backend microservices and data pipelines capable of handling billions of records.

Technical Strategy & Standards :

- Author authoritative Technical Design Documents (TDDs), conduct rigorous architecture reviews, and resolve complex distributed systems bottlenecks.

Hands-On Craftsmanship :

- Lead by example with clean, testable, high-performance code in Python, Java, Go, or C++.

- Tackle the most critical, ambiguous technical challenges directly.

Technical Mentorship & Influence :

- Coach and uplevel senior and mid-level engineers.

- Foster a culture of technical rigour, design elegance, and high engineering velocity without needing direct management authority.

Cross-Functional Partnership :

- Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineering Directors to assess technical feasibility, evaluate build vs. buy decisions, and de-risk roadmaps.

Required Qualifications :

- 8+ years of progressive backend engineering experience, with 2+ years operating at a Tech Lead level.

- Deep expertise in modern programming languages (Python, Java, Go, or C++) and mastery of concurrency, asynchronous processing, and memory optimisation.

- Proven track record designing high-throughput distributed systems, event-driven architectures (Kafka, Spark), and distributed caching.

- Deep understanding of database internals, query optimisation, and schema design across both relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and analytical/columnar databases (ClickHouse, Snowflake, Redshift).

- Strong familiarity with cloud-native architectures (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP).

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to articulate complex technical trade-offs to both junior engineers and executive leaders.

Interview Logistics :

All shortlisted candidates must be physically present in one of these three cities on the specified dates for an on-site interview :

- New Delhi (NCR) | Oct 16 - Oct 20 : WeWork Eldeco Centre, 2nd Floor, Malviya Nagar, New Delhi, Delhi 110017.

- All interview sessions are conducted strictly in person at the designated WeWork hubs.

- No virtual interview exceptions will be made for this executive circuit.

- Weekend and evening slots are intentionally accommodated for currently employed senior candidates.
