Your Role

As a Tech Lead with a strong software architecture mindset , you will lead the technical delivery of digital products end-to-end—hands-on when needed—while guiding teams toward scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead the design and evolution of technology solutions, ensuring scalability, performance, security, and maintainability .

- Drive architectural decisions and trade-offs (e.g., microservices vs modular monolith ), applying patterns such as DDD , Clean/Hexagonal Architecture , and event-driven approaches when relevant.

- Design, build, and evolve REST APIs , including versioning, contract-first practices (OpenAPI ), backward compatibility, and robust error handling.

- Define and enforce engineering standards: clean code , testing strategy, code reviews, observability, security practices, and CI/CD .





- Mentor and coach engineers, fostering a strong delivery culture and continuously raising the engineering bar.

- Partner with Product, QA, UX, and stakeholders to refine scope, assess technical risks, shape the roadmap, and deliver incrementally.

- Encourage AI-first engineering practices (Copilot/GenAI) with proper governance: quality gates, security, traceability, and testing.

Who You Are

- 10+ years of software engineering experience with proven technical leadership (Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, or strong senior with leadership responsibilities).

- Strong backend expertise in Java (ideally 17/21/25+) with solid testing practices (e.g., JUnit/Mockito ) and performance awareness.

- Proven ability to design and communicate software architecture: microservices/modular monoliths, Clean/Hexagonal, SOLID principles, integration patterns, and API design.

- Strong engineering fundamentals: CI/CD , Git workflows, code review practices, observability (logs/metrics/traces), and a secure-by-design mindset.

Nice to have / Strong plus

- Kafka/RabbitMQ , event-driven architectures, CQRS , saga/outbox patterns.

- Docker/Kubernetes , Terraform/IaC , and cloud experience (AWS/Azure/GCP).

- OAuth2/OIDC , JWT, and security best practices (OWASP).

- Experience in high-traffic systems, performance tuning,



and caching strategies.

- Experience working in AI-assisted engineering environments and setting quality/security guardrails.

- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to influence decisions and align teams.

- Professional English (B2+ preferred ) for global collaboration and documentation.

AI-Native Engineering (Core Expectation)

- UseGenerative AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a first-class engineering assistant for:

- Code scaffolding and refactoring

- Code generation and optimisation

- Test-cases and documentation generation

- Build applications through AI-driven development practices , including:

- AI-assisted debugging and troubleshooting

- Intelligent code completion and pattern recognition

- Automated documentation generation

- Apply prompt engineering best practices for reliable, repeatable engineering outcomes.

- Validate GenAI output (determinism checks, guardrails, fallback logic).
