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

Role Overview:
We are seeking a Tech Lead (5–14 yrs experience) to design, build, and scale the technology
foundation for our Support Excellence function. This role sits at the intersection of engineering,
product, and operations ensuring that our internal teams and, eventually, our end users

operational challenges through technology, building frameworks from scratch, and enabling
customer-facing and internal support teams to scale effectively.
Key Responsibilities
1. Build & Enhance Support Platform:
● Own the engineering roadmap for support tooling — ticketing systems, triage workflows,
knowledge bases, and automation bots.
● Design and implement scalable support frameworks, ensuring fast triage, data-driven
escalation, and high-quality resolution.
● Integrate support tooling with product backend, CMS, and analytics systems to enable
context-aware assistance.

optimize SLA adherence.
● Drive the adoption of AI/ML solutions for ticket classification, triage, and predictive
resolution.
● Build analytics dashboards to track support KPIs (FRT, TTR, resolution quality).
● Partner with Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers to ensure delivery fidelity.
● Restore transparency and speed between business stakeholders and tech teams.
4. Cross-functional Collaboration:
● Work with Product, QA, Customer Success, and Ops to ensure support needs are captured
early in the roadmap.
● Serve as the engineering voice in discussions on escalation flows, release readiness, and
customer-facing support enablement.
● Collaborate with content and ops teams to power self-service experiences (knowledge
bases, FAQs, in-app help).
5. Documentation & Knowledge Management:
● Maintain technical documentation for support tooling, workflows, and integrations.
● Contribute to knowledge bases (internal + external) alongside ops and content teams.
● Foster a documentation-first culture to enable faster onboarding and smoother
collaboration.
What We’re Looking For
Must-Have
● 5–7 years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2+ years in a senior/lead
role.
● Proven track record in building internal platforms, support tools, or automation systems.
● Strong technical skills: Python/Node/Java, SQL, cloud services (AWS/GCP), and integration
experience with ticketing/support platforms (e.g., Zendesk, Freshdesk, ServiceNow, Jira
Service Management).
● Experience leading small teams and owning delivery from design → build → release.
● Excellent problem-solving skills with a bias for execution in fast-paced environments.
Nice to Have
● Exposure to SaaS or healthcare platforms with multi-tenant architecture.
● Familiarity with AI/ML-driven support solutions (classification, prediction, NLP chatbots).
