About the Role

We are looking for a Lead Full Stack Engineer to guide a development squad, mentor junior engineers, and stay hands-on building Java backend services and the supporting Angular frontend.

The mandatory requirements are experience as a Tech Lead or Squad Lead mentoring junior developers, 6+ years with Java (Spring Boot) and Angular, hands-on Kafka, domain-driven design with bounded contexts, RESTful API design, PostgreSQL or Oracle with JPA/Hibernate, and an upper-intermediate English level.

What you will do

  • Technical Leadership & Execution: Act as the Squad Lead, driving the team to execute on deliverables while maintaining high engineering standards.
  • Core Development: Spend a significant portion of your time designing and implementing robust backend services using Java and Spring Boot.
  • Frontend Integration: Build and maintain the supporting Angular frontend, ensuring a seamless connection between the UI and your backend logic.
  • Modernizing Architecture: Lead the transition from traditional database-centric designs toward a domain-driven structure (DDD), ensuring strong domain bounded contexts.
  • API Excellence: Architect RESTful APIs that prioritize proper HTTP verbs and clean, scalable patterns over legacy RPC styles.
  • Team Mentorship & Agile Practices: Utilize a strong understanding of agile and software development practices to motivate the team, engage junior developers, mentor them, and help them grow.
  • Strategic Pushback: Demonstrate the ability to confidently push back and say 'no' to power (be it AI or human) when advocating for best practices and architectural integrity.

Must haves

  • Leadership Experience: Proven experience as a Tech Lead or Squad Lead, with a track record of motivating teams and mentoring junior developers.
  • Core Stack: Advanced proficiency in Java (Spring Boot) and a solid working knowledge of Angular, with at least 6 years of experience.
  • Streaming & Messaging: Hands-on experience with Kafka.
  • Design Fundamentals: A strong grasp of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOA/OOD), software design patterns, and architectural pattern awareness.
  • Domain-Driven Design: Deep understanding and practical experience with strong domain bounded contexts.
  • API Knowledge: Deep experience building and consuming RESTful services with a clear understanding of standard API protocols.
  • Database Skills: Experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle) and JPA/Hibernate.
  • The "Backend-Heavy" Mindset: A passion for server-side logic, performance, and architecture, coupled with good engineering practices.
  • Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

  • Highly desirable: Experience working with spec-driven development or related (AI-Driven Software Development Life Cycle).
  • Domain Experience: Previous experience in the Loyalty or Fintech sectors.
  • Cloud & Infra: Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and containerization (Docker).
  • DevOps: Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI).
  • Refactoring: Experience refactoring legacy structures into modern, domain-driven architectures.

Perks and Benefits

  • Remote work & Local connection: Work where you feel most productive and connect with your team in periodic meet-ups to strengthen your network and connect with other top experts.
  • Legal presence in India: We ensure full local compliance with a structured, secure work environment tailored to Indian regulations.
  • Competitive Compensation in INR: Fair compensation in INR with dedicated budgets for your personal growth, education, and wellness.
  • Innovative Projects: Leverage the latest tech and create cutting-edge solutions for world-recognized clients and the hottest startups.
