Job Title : Technical Lead — Backend (Spring Boot / Distributed Systems)

Location : Bangalore | Experience : 5+ years | Type : Full-time | Department : Engineering / Technology

About the Role :

We are seeking a hands-on Technical Lead (Backend) with deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot to lead the design, development, and operation of scalable, secure backend services. You will own system architecture, mentor engineers, and drive delivery quality across microservices, data stores, observability, and DevOps collaboration. This is a leadership-and-coding role—expect to contribute to design reviews and critical code paths while guiding the team.

Key Responsibilities :

• Own the architecture and development of backend services and APIs using Java / Spring Boot; drive microservices patterns, data modeling, and service boundaries.
• Ensure performance, reliability, and security : conduct capacity planning, profiling, and hardening (rate limiting, input validation, secrets hygiene, OWASP).
• Define integration patterns for synchronous (REST / gRPC) and asynchronous (Kafka / RabbitMQ) communication; champion idempotency and exactly-once semantics where needed.
• Design persistence layers with relational databases (PostgreSQL / MySQL) and caching (Redis); guide schema evolution and migration strategies.
• Set up and enforce testing strategy (unit, contract, integration, load), CI / CD, and release readiness across environments.
• Partner with DevOps on containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes / EKS), infrastructure-as-code, observability (logs / metrics / traces), and incident response.
• Establish authentication / authorization (OAuth2, OIDC, JWT) and multi-tenant best practices (isolation, quotas, rate limits).
• Mentor the team through code reviews, pairing, and design sessions; uphold coding standards and documentation quality.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, and cross-functional stakeholders to plan sprints and deliver business outcomes on time.
• Continuously reduce technical debt; lead root-cause analyses and preventative engineering after incidents.
