About the Role:
We are seeking a highly skilled Technical Lead with a strong background in AWS, serverless architectures, Kubernetes, Node.js, and Python. This is a hands-on leadership role, ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex technical challenges and guiding engineering teams to deliver high-quality software solutions in a cloud-native environment.



Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and implementation of scalable, secure, and high-performance solutions in AWS using serverless architectures and containerization (Kubernetes).

• Collaborate closely with product managers, architects, and developers to drive technical direction and ensure alignment with business objectives.
• Own technical decisions and be accountable for the quality and maintainability of codebases.
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to team members and help grow engineering excellence across the team.
• Conduct design/code reviews and contribute to the establishment of engineering best practices.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues in distributed systems.

Required Qualifications:

• Proven experience as a Technical Lead (not just a Senior Developer) in cloud-native and backend systems.
• Strong expertise in AWS, particularly with serverless services (e.g., Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB).
• Solid hands-on experience with Kubernetes for orchestration and microservices deployment.
• Proficiency in Node.js and Python development, including deep knowledge of backend design patterns and RESTful APIs.
• Experience designing and deploying highly scalable and available systems in production environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills, with a track record of leading and mentoring engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch).
• Exposure to agile development methodologies.
