Technical Lead Fullstack

Skills

About the Role

You will define and own the technical vision and architecture for multiple services or an entire product domain. You will lead a team of five to ten engineers, providing technical direction and mentorship. You will architect complex distributed systems ensuring scalability, fault tolerance, and high availability using Go Node.js Python and modern front end technologies. You will drive cloud infrastructure strategy on AWS or GCP, optimizing cost, performance, and operational excellence. You will own incident management processes, establish SLOs and SLIs, and drive reliability improvements. You will partner with product leadership to shape product strategy through technical feasibility and innovation. You will lead cross functional initiatives spanning multiple teams and services. You will establish and evolve engineering processes, development workflows, and quality gates. You will drive adoption of new technologies to improve team velocity and code quality. You will represent engineering in stakeholder discussions, providing technical assessments and trade off analyses. You will lead technical hiring, including defining job requirements, interview processes, and evaluation criteria. You will manage technical debt strategically, balancing feature delivery with long term system health. You will foster a culture of engineering excellence and continuous learning.
