• Lead architecture discovery sessions, technical workshops, solution presentations, and design reviews with overseas clients and internal stakeholders.
• Translate business requirements into clear solution architectures, implementation plans, technical specifications, estimates, and delivery milestones.
• Drive multiple concurrent technical streams, identify dependencies and risks early, and maintain delivery quality under changing priorities.
• Establish engineering standards for workflow design, API contracts, error handling, versioning, testing, deployment, observability, and operational readiness.
• Use AI-assisted SDLC practices responsibly to improve developer productivity, code quality, test coverage, documentation, and delivery velocity.
• Design and contribute to agentic orchestration solutions, including coordination of AI agents, tool/API integrations, workflow state management, guardrails, human-in-the-loop controls, and evaluation approaches where relevant.
• Perform hands-on development of critical components, prototypes, integrations, and reference implementations.
• Conduct code reviews and architectural reviews, ensuring solutions are maintainable, performant, secure, and aligned with engineering best practices.
• Mentor and guide junior developers; support technical growth through pairing, reviews, reusable patterns, technical sessions, and constructive feedback.
• Collaborate with delivery, product, platform, QA, DevOps, security, and client teams to ensure successful implementation and production adoption.
• Contribute reusable assets, accelerators, templates, documentation, and best practices to the Temporal Capability Center.

• Influence technical standards, reusable accelerators, and the future direction of orchestration solutions at Technoidentity.
• Take on a role with meaningful architecture ownership, technical leadership, and hands-on engineering impact.

What you'll do

Own a client end to end. Learn their business, find what to automate or rebuild, and lead the work that ships it.

Turn business problems into technical solutions sit in the call, understand the real problem, design the fix, and decide how it gets built.

Stay hands-on. You'll still write code, build integrations, and work with APIs every day.

Build on whatever the client runs Zoho, Salesforce, Azure, similar platforms, and custom apps where needed.

Run delivery: scope it, sequence it, ship it, support it. The timeline is yours.

Review code and designs. Mentor the developers on your projects and unblock them fast.

Be the escalation point when something breaks or an integration misbehaves.

Own client communication on the technical side status, tradeoffs, bad news, early.

Keep the bar high: clear docs, clear updates, clear commit history.

What we're looking for

4–7 years shipping software, with real depth in REST APIs and system integrations.

Experience leading projects or small teams — the person others check with before they build.

Strong with business platforms (Zoho, Salesforce, or similar). Much of the leverage lives there, not in custom code.

You can sit with a non-technical client, understand the problem, and come back with a working solution.

Still enjoy building. This is technical leadership, not coordination.

Self-driven. You'll often be the senior-most engineer on the account.

Why you'll love this role

Full ownership from first call to delivery — you run projects, not a ticket queue.

Direct access to clients and leadership. Your decisions ship the same week.

Constant variety: new systems, new problems, new builds.

A step into technical leadership without giving up the hands-on work.
