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
