Who We're Looking For

We are looking for engineers who share our passion for technology and rise to meet hard technical challenges. Individual contributors who thrive in a collaborative culture and a strong technical environment — self-starting, dynamic, and quick to pick up new technologies in order to deliver working solutions with minimal direction.

This is a backend-heavy full-stack role: you should be an engineer who is at home in distributed, server-side systems first, with the range to also work competently across the stack when a feature calls for it.

What You'll Do

We are seeking a Full-Stack Software Engineer to work closely with the architecture team on enhancements to Provenir's cloud-native, microservices-based decisioning engine (rules/graph-based execution).

This role requires deep, hands-on backend expertise and extends into full ownership of features end to end — from service design through UI integration and deployment.

• Design, build, and evolve microservices for Provenir's decisioning engine using Core Java and Spring Boot.

• Design and implement synchronous and asynchronous REST APIs that power decisioning workflows across the platform.

• Apply multi-threading and performance-tuning techniques to keep high-throughput decisioning services fast and reliable at scale.

• Build and maintain event-driven integrations using Kafka and ActiveMQ (or equivalent message queuing technologies) to support distributed, asynchronous processing.

• Model and manage data across relational and NoSQL stores (MySQL, MongoDB) using ORM tools such as Hibernate, Ebeans, or OpenJPA.

• Practice test-driven development, writing and maintaining unit tests as a core part of the delivery process.

• Containerize and deploy services with Docker and Kubernetes, working within a single-region, multi-AZ

AWS deployment architecture, and contribute to CI/CD pipelines (Git, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Terraform, Datadog).

• Own features across the full SDLC — design, testing, implementation, deployment, and maintenance — in partnership with the architecture team.

• Build and maintain Angular or React or any frontend framework components and modules that surface decisioning workflows and configuration screens, integrating cleanly with backend REST APIs.

• Contribute to responsive UI work using TypeScript, HTML5/CSS3, and frameworks such as Material-UI, Bootstrap, or Tailwind.

What's Required

Experience & Education

• Minimum of 5 years of professional software development experience — this is a firm minimum for the role.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience with Core Java, Spring Boot, Angular or React or any frontend framework, AWS, multi-threading, and performance tuning.

• Proven experience designing, building, and deploying microservices architectures in cloud environments.

• 4+ years designing and developing synchronous and asynchronous REST web services.

• Experience with message queuing technologies such as Kafka, ActiveMQ, or equivalent.

• 4+ years working with ORM tools (Hibernate, Ebeans, or OpenJPA) across relational and NoSQL databases (MySQL, MongoDB).

• 4+ years of test-driven development and unit testing practice.

• Solid grounding in OOA/OOD and design patterns — knowing where, why, and how to apply them.

• Hands-on experience with AWS, containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD tooling (Git, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Terraform, Datadog).

Full-Stack / Frontend Exposure

• Working knowledge of Angular or React or any frontend framework, with hands-on experience integrating front-end applications with backend REST services.

• Practical, hands-on experience with HTML5, CSS3, and responsive UI frameworks such as Material-UI, Bootstrap, or Tailwind.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Scrum/Agile development methodologies.

• Unix/Linux operating system knowledge.

• Broader exposure to event-driven and distributed system design beyond core messaging integration.

• Exposure to systems supporting ML/DL/AI model training, testing, or execution within a production product stack.

Why You Should Join Us

Our employees are empowered to be curious, forward-thinking engineers. We ask them to explore the uncharted and build the unimagined — that's what makes Provenir unique.

We offer comprehensive health and wellness plans. You'll enjoy paid time off and company holidays, flexible and remote-friendly options, along with benefits to plan for your future.

At Provenir, you'll be part of a dynamic, growing team that prides itself on building highly innovative, adaptable, and configurable software solutions, in a collaborative culture and strong technical environment.

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
