We're hiring a Tech Lead to own the backend architecture and engineering culture of a fast-growing HR-Tech platform used by 100+ enterprise clients across India.
This isn't a "manage the team and attend standups" role. You'll be hands-on with architecture decisions, own the deployment environment, and work directly with founders who came from Gallup and IIM Ahmedabad.
The stack is Node.js, Docker, Kafka, and cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP).
The role is right for you if:
- You've led backend teams and still enjoy being close to the code
- You've built or significantly improved a CI/CD pipeline in production
- You can explain a technical trade-off to a business stakeholder without making them feel talked down to
- You want ownership, not just a title.
What you'll be doing:
- Designing and maintaining backend systems built for scale, security, and reliability
- Leading and mentoring a team of backend engineers through sprint cycles and beyond
- Owning cloud infrastructure (AWS / Azure / GCP) and keeping deployments stable and fast
- Improving CI/CD practices and automating what shouldn't require human intervention
- Translating product requirements into technical specs the team can actually execute
- Conducting code reviews that raise quality without slowing people down
- Working directly with founders and business stakeholders — not through layers of management
What we're looking for:
- 5–8 years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years in a lead or senior role
- Strong backend development skills in Node.js (Python or Java is a bonus)
- Hands-on cloud experience — building and managing infrastructure, not just deploying to it
- Comfort with Docker, Kafka, and Linux environments
- Experience running Agile teams — sprint planning, retrospectives, the works
- Clear communication and the ability to make decisions under ambiguity
- B.Tech / B.E. in Computer Science or Information Technology
Location: Mumbai (on-site) Experience: 5–8 years Start: Immediate
If this sounds like the role you've been looking for, apply below or send a message directly. The process is fast and so is the decision.
