Tech Lead (Backend, B2B SaaS Tier 1 college only

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.
•

The role is backend-first, with full stack ownership: you will also guide ReactJS and Next.js frontends that sit on top of these services. You will own the full lifecycle, from requirement analysis and system design to production deployment, monitoring, and 24x7 support.

We want someone who treats correctness, auditability, and uptime as product features.

Key Responsibilities

A. Backend and Microservices Development

·   Design and build scalable, high-performance backend services using Java and Spring Boot.

·   Design and implement RESTful APIs, microservices, and third-party integrations with clear, versioned API contracts.

·   Write clean, maintainable, and testable code, backed by unit, integration, and API tests.

B. Event-Driven Architecture with Apache Kafka

·   Build and maintain event-driven systems using Kafka producers, consumers, and Kafka Streams.

·   Design event schemas, topics, partitioning, and retention to match business flows.

·   Ensure exactly-once or idempotent processing so no event is lost or applied twice.

·   Handle retries, dead-letter topics, consumer lag, and replay for failed or delayed events.

·   Maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and deployment procedures.

G. AI-Assisted Development

·   Use AI coding tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, or Cursor for code, tests, debugging, and documentation.

·   Review and validate all AI-generated output before it reaches production.

Designing and Maintaining Banking Products

Designing Banking Products

·   Ledger-first design: build double-entry ledgers in PostgreSQL where every debit has a matching credit and balances can always be rebuilt from entries.

·   Transaction integrity: use idempotency keys, unique transaction references, and state machines so a request retried by a customer, bank, or network never posts twice.

·   Payment flows: design end-to-end flows for UPI, IMPS, NEFT, RTGS, and card or wallet payments, including timeouts, pending states, reversals, and refunds.

·   Distributed consistency: keep data consistent across microservices with Outbox, Saga, and compensating transactions instead of distributed locks.

·   Core banking integration: integrate with core banking systems such as Oracle FLEXCUBE or Finacle, NPCI and switch interfaces, and partner bank APIs.

·   Product configuration: model savings and current accounts, loans, deposits, and wallets so limits, charges, interest, and rules are configuration rather than code changes.

·   Customer lifecycle: support onboarding, KYC and e-KYC, account servicing, and closure with clear status tracking.

·   Security by design: encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit, mask PII in logs, manage keys through HSM or a vault, and apply least-privilege access.

·   Regulatory compliance: build to RBI guidelines, including data localization, audit trails, and NPCI operating rules, and align with PCI DSS where card data is involved.

·   Controls: implement maker-checker approvals, transaction limits, velocity checks, and hooks for fraud and AML monitoring.

Maintaining Banking Products in Production

·   Reconciliation: run daily automated reconciliation between internal ledgers, partner banks, NPCI, and settlement files, and resolve mismatches within agreed timelines.

·   Settlement and batch jobs: own end-of-day and beginning-of-day processes, interest accrual, charges, and settlement runs, and make them safe to re-run.

·   High availability: design for 24x7 uptime with no single point of failure, graceful degradation, and defined RPO and RTO for disaster recovery.

·   Observability: track business and technical metrics such as transaction success rate, latency, and consumer lag in Prometheus and Grafana, with alerts before customers notice.

·   Incident management: lead incident response, customer-impact assessment, root-cause analysis, and post-incident fixes for failed or stuck transactions.

·   Safe change management: release through feature flags, canary or blue-green deployments, and backward-compatible APIs and schemas, with tested rollback plans.

·   Audit and reporting: keep immutable audit logs and support regulatory reports, internal audits, and data requests from banks and regulators.

·   Continuous improvement: track defects, performance, and technical debt, and plan regular upgrades of frameworks, libraries, and security patches.

Required Skills and Qualifications

Candidates must have hands-on experience in the following areas:

·   Backend: strong Java (Core Java, Java 17+), Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, and Spring Security.

·   Messaging: Apache Kafka, including producers, consumers, Kafka Streams, event design, partitioning, and offset management.

·   Database: strong SQL and PostgreSQL, including data modeling, transactions, isolation levels, indexing, and query tuning.

·   Architecture: microservices, distributed systems, event-driven design, OOP, and design patterns.

·   APIs: designing and documenting RESTful APIs with JSON and OpenAPI/Swagger.

·   Frontend: working knowledge of ReactJS, Next.js, JavaScript (ES6+), and TypeScript.

·   DevOps: Docker, Git (GitHub or GitLab), and CI/CD pipelines.

·   Testing: unit and integration testing with JUnit and Mockito, plus debugging and code review.

·   Leadership: experience guiding developers, reviewing code, planning tasks, and owning delivery.

·   Problem solving: strong debugging skills for production issues in distributed systems.

Mandatory Screening Requirement: Candidates must have strong backend experience in Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, and PostgreSQL, plus working frontend knowledge in ReactJS or Next.js. Frontend-only profiles will not meet the core requirement.

Good to Have
