Technical Lead at Fortune 30 HR-tech company · Mumbai · 5 - 8 years · ₹14L - ₹17L / yr · Posted 3 Jun 2026

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

Key Responsibilities:
1. Engineering Leadership & Technical Ownership
- Own the engineering function, including architecture, development, code quality, performance, scalability, security, and maintenance.
- Lead a team of 5-6 engineers, providing technical direction, reviewing code, ensuring timely delivery and nurturing their career path.
- Remain hands-on with development and debugging rather than functioning solely as a people manager.
- Establish engineering standards, development practices, testing protocols, and release processes.
- Make pragmatic technology decisions that balance long-term scalability with ad-hoc business requirements.
2. Enterprise Implementations & Client Delivery
- Own the technical execution of our implementations with enterprise clients across the globe.
- Drive client-specific configurations, integrations, customizations, deployments, and production rollouts.
- Work closely with the Founder, Customer Success team, Product team, and other key stakeholders to translate client requirements into robust technical outcomes.

This role offers the opportunity to work closely with the Founder, influence the product and architecture decisions, lead a compact engineering team, and directly shape how our technology scales across enterprise customers in not just domestic but international markets.
Why This Role Matters
Our backend is what keeps checkout, RTO, and payments fast and reliable at ~$2B GMV across 15,000+ merchants. As an SDE 2 you own services end to end, make the architecture calls that keep them performant, and set the technical bar for the engineers around you. The trade-offs you pick show up directly in merchant conversions and platform reliability - this is a builder's seat with real ownership.
What You'll Own
- Design and build backend services primarily in Node.js/NestJS, with Go for select services, backed by Postgres, Mongo, and Redis.
- Own event-driven flows on Kafka - throughput, ordering, and failure handling.
- Make and document the architecture and trade-off decisions for systems you lead.
- Ship features end to end, dropping into the frontend (React/Svelte) when it's the fastest path.
- Strengthen CI/CD, observability, and deployments on AWS.
- Review code, mentor SDE 1s and AEs, and raise the quality bar on the team.
- Take ambiguous problems and drive them to delivery with minimal hand-holding.
Who You Are
- Strong backend engineer in JavaScript/TypeScript on Node.js/NestJS (our primary stack); working knowledge of Go, or ready to pick it up.
- Solid at data modelling across Postgres and Mongo, and knows when Redis earns its place.
- Has built and scaled event-driven systems (Kafka or equivalent).
- At home on the backend but happy to work across the stack in React/Svelte.
- Thinks in systems - scalability, reliability, maintainability - not just features.
- Has mentored engineers and owns code quality and delivery, not just their own tickets.
- Communicates clearly and does well with ambiguity in a fast-moving team.
