NOW HIRING · WORLD-CLASS TALENT Backend Tech Lead (Senior Level Engineering Leadership)

Placed by Recruiting Bond on behalf of a Confidential Digital Platform Leader

📍Location: Bengaluru, India (Hybrid / On-Site)

🏢Sector: Technology, Information & Media

👥Company Size: 500 – 1,000 Employees

💼Employment: Full-Time, Permanent

🎯Experience: 6 – 9 Years (Backend Engineering)

🚀 Level: Tech Lead


ABOUT THIS MANDATE

Recruiting Bond has been exclusively retained by one of India's most well-established digital platform organisations — a company operating at the intersection of Technology, Information, and Media — to identify and place a world-class Backend Tech Lead who can drive a transformational engineering agenda at scale.

This is not an ordinary role. The organisation is executing a high-stakes, large-scale modernisation of its backend infrastructure — migrating from legacy monolithic systems to resilient, cloud-native, AI-augmented distributed architectures that serve millions of concurrent users. The person in this seat will be a core pillar of that transformation.

We are looking exclusively for the top 1% — engineers who think in systems, own outcomes, and lead by example.


THE OPPORTUNITY AT A GLANCE

🏗️ Architecture Ownership

Drive system design decisions across the entire backend platform. Shape the future of distributed, fault-tolerant architecture.

🤖 AI-Augmented Engineering

Embed GenAI and LLM tooling directly into the SDLC. Champion automation-first development practices across squads.

🎓 Engineering Leadership

Mentor and grow the next generation of backend engineers. Lead hiring, reviews, and cross-functional technical alignment.


KEY RESPONSIBILITIES


1. Architecture & Platform Modernisation

  • Lead the full migration of legacy monolithic systems to a scalable, cloud-native microservices architecture
  • Design and own distributed, fault-tolerant backend systems with sub-millisecond SLO targets
  • Architect API-first and event-driven platforms using async messaging patterns (Kafka, Pub/Sub, SQS)
  • Resolve systemic performance bottlenecks, concurrency conflicts, and scalability ceilings
  • Establish backend design standards, coding guidelines, and architectural review processes


2. Distributed Systems Engineering (Production-Grade)

  • Design and implement Webhook reliability frameworks with intelligent retry and exponential backoff strategies
  • Build idempotent, versioned APIs with enterprise-grade rate limiting and throttling controls
  • Implement circuit breakers, bulkheads, and resilience patterns using Resilience4j / Hystrix or equivalents
  • Engineer Dead-Letter Queue (DLQ) strategies and event reprocessing pipelines with guaranteed delivery semantics
  • Apply Saga orchestration and choreography patterns for distributed transaction integrity
  • Execute zero-downtime deployments and canary release strategies with rollback capability
  • Design and enforce multi-region disaster recovery and business continuity protocols


3. AI-Driven Engineering Practices

  • Champion LLM and GenAI adoption as first-class tooling across the software development lifecycle
  • Apply prompt engineering techniques for automated code generation, review, and documentation workflows
  • Utilise AI-assisted debugging, root cause analysis, and predictive performance optimisation
  • Build automation-first pipelines that reduce toil and accelerate delivery velocity
  • Evaluate and integrate emerging AI developer tools into the engineering ecosystem


4. Engineering Leadership & Culture

  • Own backend platforms end-to-end with full accountability across development, stability, and performance
  • Actively mentor, coach, and elevate engineers at all levels (L3–L6) through structured 1:1s and code reviews
  • Drive and lead technical hiring — from designing assessments to final hire decisions
  • Partner with Product, Data, DevOps, and Security stakeholders to align engineering with business objectives
  • Represent the engineering org in cross-functional roadmap planning and architecture decision reviews
  • Foster a culture of technical excellence, psychological safety, and high-velocity delivery


TECHNOLOGY STACK (HANDS-ON PROFICIENCY REQUIRED)

Languages: Java (primary) · Go · Python · Node.js · PHP · Rust

Cloud: AWS · GCP · Azure (Multi-cloud exposure preferred)

Containers: Docker · Kubernetes · Helm · Service Mesh (Istio / Linkerd)

QUALIFICATIONS & CANDIDATE PROFILE


Education

  • B.E. / B.Tech or M.E. / M.Tech from a Tier-I or Tier-II Institution — CS, IS, ECE, AI/ML streams strongly preferred
  • Exceptional real-world engineering track record may be considered in lieu of institution pedigree


Experience

  • 6 to 9 years of progressive backend engineering experience with demonstrable ownership and impact
  • Proven track record of shipping and scaling production SaaS / Product systems at significant user load
  • Exposure to and success within start-up, mid-size, and large-scale product organisations — the full spectrum
  • Strong computer science fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, distributed systems theory, OS internals
  • Demonstrated career stability — minimum 2 years average tenure per organisation
  • The Ideal Candidate Exemplifies
  • System-level thinking with an ability to hold context across code, architecture, product, and business
  • An ownership mindset — no task is 'not my job'; outcomes and quality are personal commitments
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for asynchronous, cross-functional collaboration
  • Intellectual curiosity: actively follows engineering trends, contributes to the community (OSS, blogs, talks)
  • Bias for automation, observability, and engineering efficiency at every level
  • A mentor's instinct — genuine desire to grow others and raise the capability of the team around them


WHY THIS ROLE STANDS APART

✅ Transformational Scope

Lead platform modernisation at scale. Your architectural choices will define systems serving millions of users for years.
