Description : About the Role :
Were looking for an experienced Sr Developer / Technical Lead (3+ years experience) who can lead the design, development, and scaling of backend systems powering large-scale logistics. In this role, youll architect high-throughput systems, guide a team of engineers, and integrate AI tools and agentic frameworks (Model Context Protocol (MCP), Multi Agent Systems (MAS), etc.) into your development and decision-making workflows.
Youll drive engineering excellence, contribute to architectural decisions, and nurture a culture of ownership, innovation, and AI-native development. This is a hands-on leadership position where youll build systems, lead design reviews, and mentor a high-performing team while pushing the boundaries of AI-assisted engineering.
What Youll Do :
Technical Leadership & Ownership :
- Lead the architecture, design, and delivery of scalable RESTful and gRPC APIs.
- Guide system design and backend workflows for microservices handling millions of transactions daily.
- Drive engineering best practices in code quality, testing, observability, and deployment.
Team Leadership :
Mentor and coach a team of backend and frontend developers, helping them grow technically and professionally.Conduct regular design / code reviews and set high standards for system performance, reliability, and scalability.Drive sprint planning, task breakdowns, and technical execution with a bias for action and quality.AI-Native Development :
Leverage modern AI tools (e.g., Cursor AI, Copilot, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf) for :Prompt-based code generation, refactoring, and documentation.Intelligent debugging and observability enhancements.Test case generation and validation.Experiment with and implement agentic frameworks (MCP, MAS etc) in building tools, automating workflows, optimization tasks, or intelligent system behavior.Contribute and maintain to internal AI prompt libraries and lead adoption of AI-assisted development practices.Systems & Infrastructure :
Own the end-to-end lifecycle of backend services from design to rollout and production monitoring.Work with data models across PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, or MongoDB.Optimize services using metrics, logs, traces, and performance profiling tools.Cross-functional Collaboration :
Partner closely with Product, Design, QA, DevOps, and other Engineering teams to deliver cohesive product experiences.Influence product roadmaps and business decisions through a technical lens.What Were Looking For :
3+ years of backend development experience with at least 1+ years as a team / tech lead.Deep expertise in Python, Go and comfort across multiple backend frameworks.Solid understanding of Data Structures, Algorithms, System Design, and SQL.Proven experience in building, scaling, and maintaining microservices.Strong hands-on experience with REST / gRPC APIs, containerized deployments, and CI / CD pipelines.Strong database fundamentals indexing, query optimization, replication, consistency models, and schema designExposure to system scalability concepts horizontal / vertical scaling, sharding, partitioning, rate-limiting, load balancing, and caching strategies..Effective use of AI developer tools (Cursor AI, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, Windsurf) in real-world engineering workflows.Exposure to agentic frameworks and AI concepts such as :MCP, Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI), or NLP pipelines.Cloud proficiency (any cloud, AWS preferred), including deployment, cost optimization, and infrastructure scaling.Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.A strong sense of ownership, problem-solving ability, and collaborative mindset.(ref : hirist.tech)
