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.

About the role

You'll work on cloud software that helps technical teams collaborate and move faster: an established, in-production product that real customers rely on every day. You'll work directly with leadership who built products at Meta and Apple, on a team where you own meaningful work and your decisions have direct impact.

Location: On-site, Financial District, Hyderabad

What you'll do

• Lead the engineering team day to day, owning delivery and technical direction
• Architect projects end to end and make the high-leverage technical decisions across the stack, in ReactJS, NodeJS, and AWS
• Set up the engineering processes, standards, and rituals that let the team ship fast without breaking things
• Mentor and grow engineers, raising the bar across the team
• Break complex, ambiguous problems into clear plans and drive them to done
• Make deliberate tradeoffs between creating tech debt and delivering business requirements

What we're looking for

• 8+ years of full stack engineering experience (strong senior engineers ready to step into a lead role are welcome)
• Deep, hands-on command of ReactJS, NodeJS, and AWS
• A track record of technical leadership: architecting systems, mentoring engineers, and setting up engineering processes
• Strong fundamentals in data structures and algorithms
• Excellent communication and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
• Bonus if you know: TypeScript, SQL, ExpressJS

Who you are

• You have serious work ethic. You get a high from checking things off and seeing results.
• You're curious, resourceful, and self-learning.
• You take ownership and bring the hustle.
• You lead by example and bring momentum to everything and everyone you work with.
