Were looking for a Backend Tech Lead whos equally obsessed with architecture decisions and clean code, someone who can zoom out to design systems and zoom in to fix that one weird memory leak. Youll lead a small but sharp team, drive the backend roadmap, and make sure our systems stay fast, lean, and battle-tested.

What Youll Own :

- Architect backend systems that handle India-scale traffic without breaking a sweat.

- Guide, mentor, and uplevel a team of backend engineersbe the go-to technical brain.

- Partner with Product, Data, and Infra to ship features that are reliable and delightful.

- Set high engineering standardsclean architecture, performance, automation, and testing.

- Lead discussions on system design, performance tuning, and infra choices.

- Keep an eye on production like a hawk : metrics, monitoring, logs, uptime.

- Identify gaps proactively and push for improvements instead of waiting for fires.

What Makes You a Great Fit :

- Candidate must have 6+ years of backend engineering experience,

- 1-2 years leading engineers or owning major systems.

- Must be strong in one core backend language : Node.js, Go, Java, or Python.

- Deep understanding of distributed systems, caching, high availability, and microservices architecture.

- Hands-on experience with AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.

- Strong command over system design, data structures, performance tuning, and scalable architecture

- Ability to partner with Product, Data, Infrastructure, and lead end-to-end backend roadmap execution.

Nice-to-have :
