Tech Lead

Job Role: Team Lead – Full Stack Engineering

You should apply if you have:

• 5–7 years of hands-on software engineering experience across frontend and backend, with a track record of leading small teams
• Strong production experience in React/React Native on the frontend and Python (Django/FastAPI) on the backend
• Experience building and scaling consumer-facing e-commerce or D2C products
• Strong people-leadership instincts—mentoring engineers, running code reviews, and driving delivery without micromanaging
• A product mindset with attention to performance, reliability, and business impact
• Comfort owning features end-to-end, from UI to API to database
• Ownership-driven attitude—able to take initiatives from concept to production

You should not apply if you:

• Prefer purely individual-contributor work with no interest in mentoring or leading a team
• Are only comfortable in one layer of the stack and unwilling to work across frontend and backend
• Are uncomfortable owning delivery timelines, quality, and team outcomes
• Struggle to collaborate across product, design, and DevOps functions
• Avoid accountability for performance, code quality, or production stability
• Are uncomfortable working with data and metrics to guide decisions

Skills Required:

Technical Skills (Full Stack)

• Strong backend expertise: Python (Django, FastAPI), REST API design, and scalable service architecture
• Proficiency with Node.js and Express.js for BFF/API layers and SSR where applicable
• Solid database skills: MySQL (schema design, query optimization) and ElasticSearch
• Working knowledge of AWS (EC2, Kubernetes, RDS) and CI/CD pipelines
• Exposure to Redis and Airflow (good to have)
• Comfort with monitoring tools (Kibana, Grafana, New Relic) to track application health
• Understanding of frontend performance (Core Web Vitals) and backend performance (caching, query tuning, load handling)

Leadership & Business Skills

• Ability to lead, mentor, and grow a team of 5–8 engineers
• Sprint planning, estimation, and delivery ownership
• Translating product and business requirements into technical execution
• Balancing speed, scalability, and code quality in a fast-paced startup
• Strong communication and cross-functional coordination
