Tech Lead – Backend

Roles & Responsibilities

The company is building the operational backbone for how B2B enterprises run their business.

As a Tech Lead on the backend team, you will own the technical direction for a core domain of the platform—systems where correctness is non-negotiable, scale is unforgiving, and edge cases never stop coming. You will also mentor Senior Engineers in your pod.

This is a hands-on role: you will write code and design systems yourself day to day, pair on complex problems, review the work of engineers around you, and be the person who figures out what's actually broken before it becomes a fire.

You will report into the Engineering Manager / Head of Engineering. This is not a feature-factory role. You are here to raise the level of abstraction the team works at, not simply to ship tickets faster.


What You'll Own

  • Design and build core platform services that handle complex business logic reliably at scale.
  • Architect and own integrations with external enterprise systems, including their 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 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 frameworks, patterns, and abstractions that shape the platform for years.
  • Lead design reviews and code reviews, and set the technical standard the rest of the team calibrates against.
  • Hold a clear bar for quality, follow-through, and ownership across the engineers you work with, ensuring systems are healthy in production, not just merged.
  • Partner with Product, Implementation, and Customer Success as the engineer who understands the system deeply enough to challenge requirements when necessary.
  • Raise the technical bar for the engineers around you without slowing the team down.

Ideal Candidate

  1. Strong Tech Lead / Staff Engineer / Lead Engineer Profile
  • Proven experience operating at Tech Lead, Staff Engineer, or Lead Engineer level.
  1. Mandatory – Overall Experience
  • Minimum 6+ years of overall Software Engineering / Development experience building production backend systems.
  1. Mandatory – Tech Lead Ownership
  • Proven Tech Lead ownership with experience setting technical direction, architecture, frameworks, or engineering standards used by other engineers.
  1. Mandatory – Backend Development
  • Strong hands-on backend development experience with deep proficiency in at least one backend programming language such as Python, Java, or Golang.
  1. Mandatory – System Design & Distributed Systems
  • Strong experience in system design and distributed systems, including architectural trade-offs, scalability, failure modes, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
  1. Mandatory – APIs & Integrations
  • Experience designing and building APIs, backend services, and external/enterprise integrations.
  • Strong experience owning complex business logic and production systems.
  1. Mandatory – Technical Leadership
  • Formal technical leadership experience, including mentoring Senior Engineers, conducting design and code reviews, driving engineering quality, and leading technical decisions across a team.
  1. Mandatory – Hands-on IC + Tech Lead
  • Must be a hands-on Individual Contributor + Tech Lead, with approximately 70–80% hands-on coding/engineering involvement.
  • Pure people-management profiles are not suitable.
  1. Mandatory – Company Background
  • Experience working in Product Companies, Startups, or B2B SaaS organizations.
  1. Mandatory – Education
  • CS degree or equivalent, such as B.Tech / B.E. / B.S.
  1. Preferred – Technical Skills
  • Experience with Kafka, NATS, RabbitMQ
  • AWS
  • Docker / Kubernetes
  • CI/CD
  • Observability and monitoring
  • Security and compliance
  • Multi-tenant systems
  • Financial, billing, or enterprise platforms

Engineering Manager – Backend 

Location: Flexible / Hybrid (Mon–Fri)

Website: https://www.solarsquare.in

About the Role

SolarSquare is building the infrastructure for India's clean energy transition. We're looking for an Engineering Manager who doesn't just run a team — someone who builds one from the ground up, makes consequential technical bets, and treats engineering outcomes as business outcomes.

You'll own the technical strategy and delivery for our full-stack platform, lead a growing team of SDE1–SDE3 engineers, and work directly with product, design, and business to shape what we build and how fast we build it. This is a role for someone who has operated in resource-constrained environments, shipped systems that held up under pressure, and left every team they've led measurably better than they found it.

If you've only ever executed someone else's roadmap, this isn't the right fit. If you've ever built something from scratch and felt personally responsible for whether it worked.

What You'll Own

Team & Culture

  • Build, hire, and develop a high-performing full-stack engineering team  including setting the bar for what "high-performing" means at SolarSquare
  • Create genuine career growth paths for engineers.
  • Maintain team health, retention, and motivation through periods of rapid change and ambiguity

Technical Strategy

  • Define and drive the architectural roadmap
  • Make and own technical bets: when to invest in platform, when to ship fast, when to pay down debt
  • Establish observability, reliability, and security standards before they become production fires

Delivery

  • Translate business goals into engineering priorities  and push back when the translation is wrong
  • Set clear goals, metrics, and delivery expectations; hold yourself and the team accountable to them
  • Manage trade-offs between short-term product velocity and long-term engineering health


Cross-Functional Influence

  • Partner with Product, Design, and Business stakeholders  and influence decisions upstream.
  • Communicate technical risk, cost, and complexity clearly to non-technical leadership

What We're Looking For

  • 7–10 years of engineering experience, with at least 3 years leading teams.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems design: idempotency, retries, DLQs, circuit breakers, eventual consistency, you've had to debug these in production.
  • Proven experience with event-driven architecture and Kafka including schema design, consumer group management, and failure recovery patterns.
  • Comfort with relational (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis, ) databases  including query optimisation and schema design decisions at scale.
  • You've designed or operated systems handling meaningful traffic  ideally 10K+ RPS. significant daily transaction volumes, or consumer-scale user bases (1M+ users)
  • You understand what 99.99% uptime actually costs to maintain and you've made the infrastructure and on-call decisions to back it.
  • You've written or enforced SLOs, SLAs, and incident management processes.
  • You've done a postmortem that changed something real about how the team operates.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure beyond just deploying services, cost optimisation, right-sizing, architecture decisions that meaningfully reduced spend
  • Working knowledge of containerisation (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) enough to unblock your team.
  • CI/CD pipeline ownership  you've built or significantly improved a pipeline.
  • Experience with observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, or equivalent  and more importantly, a philosophy about what to instrument and why
  • You've made the call between monolith and microservices  and you can defend it with context.
  • You've managed technical debt consciously: triaged it, prioritised it, and made the case to stakeholders for when to pay it down
  • You've navigated a hard conversation with a product or business stakeholder  and changed the outcome
  • Your engineers grow under you. You can point to people you've promoted, coached, or unblocked
  • You know how to build alignment across functions where incentives don't naturally align
  • You have clear examples of decisions you made under ambiguity  and you can articulate the trade-offs you weighed
  • You've identified a systemic problem and fixed it without being asked
  • You've built or rebuilt something that wasn't working  a team, a process, a system

Work Arrangement

Flexible work setup, including hybrid options. Monday to Friday. Learn more about us at https://www.solarsquare.in.
