Job description
We're seeking a highly technical Lead Software Engineer with deep backend expertise to take full ownership of 2-3 critical services while driving system scalability and stability across our platform. This role demands someone who can architect robust solutions, optimize performance under load, and tackle complex distributed systems challenges head-on. You'll be responsible for scaling mission-critical applications, implementing fault-tolerant architectures, and stabilizing high-throughput systems that serve millions of requests daily.
Beyond your technical contributions, you'll play a pivotal role in mentoring junior engineers, conducting thorough code reviews, and elevating the overall technical capabilities of the team. We need someone with proven experience in microservices design patterns, database optimization, caching strategies, message queues, and observability tools. Your architectural decisions will directly impact system reliability, and you should be comfortable with performance profiling, capacity planning, and incident response.
The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of backend development experience, deep knowledge of enterprise frameworks, application optimization, containerization, and cloud-native architectures. You should have hands-on experience with horizontal scaling, load balancing, data consistency patterns, and API design best practices. Strong communication skills are essential as you'll be translating technical requirements into actionable development plans and guiding architectural discussions.
