Key Responsibilities
1. The Ultimate Quality Gate & Delivery
● Enforce Technical Excellence: Act as the final quality gate for all code, architecture, and
deployments. Define and uphold rigorous standards for code quality, test coverage, and
documentation.
● Technical Debt & Bottlenecks: Proactively identify, prioritize, and guide the team to resolve
performance bottlenecks, architectural flaws, and technical debt.
● Continuous Integration: Champion containerization and robust CI/CD pipelines using Docker and
AWS to ensure stable, automated, and zero-downtime production deployments.
2. Architecture, Design & Stack Ownership
● Take full ownership of critical technical decisions, including system architecture, API design, and
database schema design (SQL/NoSQL).
● Design and scale applications leveraging a modern stack consisting of Node.js, React, Python, and
AWS ecosystem services.
● Conduct deep-dive debugging sessions for complex, multi-service issues and provide hands-on
guidance to developers.
3. Client Interaction & Requirement Engineering
● Act as the primary technical liaison for clients, translating complex business needs into clear,
structured, and actionable technical specifications.
● Conduct discovery sessions, gather requirements, and formulate elegant solutions that align with
the client's strategic goals.
● Communicate technical constraints, architectural decisions, and progress updates to non-technical
client stakeholders with clarity and confidence.
4. AI-Enabled Development & Technical Curiosity
● Champion and integrate AI-assisted engineering practices (such as Spec-Driven Development,
advanced prompt engineering, and AI coding assistants) to accelerate development and debugging
lifecycles.
● Constantly research emerging technologies, tools, and methodologies, proactively presenting
innovative solutions to both the team and clients.
5. Team Leadership & Unblocking
● Deconstruct high-level client requirements into structured technical tasks, passing them on
seamlessly to the development team.
● Actively unblock developers by providing technical direction, pair programming, and clear
architectural guardrails.
● Foster a collaborative, high-energy culture of continuous learning. Keep team spirit high through
recognition, active support, and clear career progression goals.
Required Experience & Skills
● Experience: 6+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a proven track record of
leading or mentoring engineering teams.
● Core Tech Stack: Deep, production-level expertise in Node.js, React, Python, and AWS core
services.
● DevOps & Containers: Strong practical understanding of containerization with Docker and
managing cloud infrastructure pipelines.
● Architecture & DB Design: Proven ability to design distributed systems, microservices, or
serverless architectures, alongside highly optimized database schemas.
● AI-Native Engineering: Expert familiarity with leveraging AI tools to optimize the software
development lifecycle (SDLC), automate testing, and handle complex debugging.
● Client Management: Strong experience in a client-facing role with exceptional verbal and written
communication skills. Ability to negotiate scope and manage expectations.
● Leadership Style: A proactive self-starter who takes definitive initiative, excels at decision-making
under ambiguity, and acts as a strict but supportive mentor.
What We Offer
● An environment that actively encourages high-velocity engineering and experimenting with cuttingedge AI frameworks.
● The autonomy to shape system architectures, establish DevOps workflows, and drive technical
execution from inception to deployment.
● Opportunities to work closely with diverse clients and lead talented engineering teams
