Role Title : Senior Development Lead — PropTech CRM
Reports To : Head of Engineering / CTO, Cloudberry Technologies
Location : Bangalore Engineering Centre (Hybrid / Remote)
Engagement Type : Full-time Permanent
Team Size : 10–15 engineers across 3–4 Scrum squads
ABOUT THE ROLE
Cloudberry Technologies is building a next-generation, AI-powered PropTech CRM for the Irish residential property market. Our client is engineered from the ground to build as the property operating platform of choice for Irish estate agencies, with a deliberate Sales-first focus: new homes sales, resale pipeline management, real-time portal syndication (Daft.ie, MyHome.ie, Rightmove), and a deep AI capability layer embedded across every workflow. We are hiring an exceptional Development Lead to own the day-to-day technical delivery of this platform. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will write and review production code, architect key features, lead a team of 10–15 engineers across multiple Scrum squads, and be the primary technical interface between Cloudberry's engineering team and Client’s Ireland
based stakeholders. This is not a purely managerial position. We expect the Development Lead to be in the codebase every day — pair programming, reviewing PRs, debugging production issues, and setting the technical bar for the entire team. Critically, you will champion AI-augmented development practices, particularly Claude Code (Anthropic), and drive adoption of AI co-pilot tooling across all squads as a productivity multiplier.
PLATFORM CONTEXT
You will be leading development on a platform with the following architecture:
Backend API : Node.js · NestJS framework · TypeScript · REST + GraphQL · JWT/OAuth2
Frontend : Next.js 14 (React) · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS · React Query · Storybook
Database : PostgreSQL (RDS) · Redis (ElastiCache) · S3 (media & documents)
Infrastructure : AWS EKS Fargate · ALB · CloudFront CDN · Route 53 · RDS Multi-AZ
DevOps : GitHub Actions CI/CD · Terraform IaC · Docker · Datadog · PagerDuty
AI / ML : Anthropic Claude API · AWS SageMaker · NLP buyer matching · AVM models
Deployment : SaaS multi-tenant · Dublin EU-WEST-1 (Ireland data residency & GDPR)
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Technical Leadership & Hands-On Development
‣ Write, review, and ship production-quality Node.js / NestJS backend code and Next.js / React frontend code on a daily
basis
‣ Own the technical architecture of the CRM platform — making decisions on patterns, abstractions, service
boundaries, and API design
‣ Lead code reviews with a focus on correctness, performance, security, and maintainability — setting the quality bar
for the entire team
‣ Debug and resolve complex production incidents, performance bottlenecks, and integration failures across the full
stack
‣ Drive the design and implementation of core Sales modules: new homes plot tracking, resale pipeline, offer
management, chain tracking, and completion workflows
‣ Architect and oversee real-time portal integrations: Daft.ie, MyHome.ie, Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket XML feeds
AI-Augmented Development (Claude Code & Co-Pilot Tooling)
‣ Champion and operationalise AI-assisted development across all squads using Claude Code (Anthropic) as the primary
co-pilot tool
‣ Define and document team conventions for effective Claude Code usage: prompt crafting, context management, code
review of AI-generated output, and safe integration patterns
‣ Embed AI co-pilot workflows into the sprint cycle — using Claude Code for accelerated boilerplate generation, test
writing, refactoring, documentation, and API scaffolding
‣ Evaluate and introduce complementary AI tooling (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) where Claude Code does not cover
the workflow, maintaining a curated, consistent AI toolkit
‣ Track productivity metrics on AI-assisted vs. standard development cycles and report impact to engineering leadership
‣ Upskill team members on responsible AI co-pilot usage — ensuring generated code is always reviewed, tested, and
understood before merging
Team Leadership & Squad Management
‣ Line-manage and mentor a team of 10–15 engineers across 3–4 Scrum squads (Sales, Marketing & Integrations, AI &
Data Lake, Platform & DevOps)
‣ Run or oversee daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives, and sprint reviews across squads
‣ Act as technical escalation point for all squads — unblocking engineers, resolving technical disagreements, and making
pragmatic calls under deadline pressure
‣ Conduct regular 1:1s, provide constructive performance feedback, identify growth areas, and support career
development for team members
‣ Collaborate with the Scrum Master and Project Manager to maintain sprint velocity, identify risks early, and escalate
blockers to leadership
‣ Participate in hiring: define technical interview criteria, conduct technical screens and pair-programming assessments
for new engineering hires
Architecture, Quality & Delivery
‣ Own the delivery of the 12-month product roadmap in collaboration with the Project Manager and Senior BA
‣ Maintain a consistently high engineering quality bar: unit test coverage, integration test suites, E2E test coverage
using Playwright or Cypress
‣ Define and enforce coding standards, linting rules, PR templates, and branching strategies across all squads
‣ Lead the design and delivery of the Reapit-compatible REST API layer — ensuring schema alignment with Reapit
Foundation API v2 conventions for zero-friction client migration
‣ Oversee security practices: OWASP compliance, secrets management, JWT security, AWS IAM least-privilege, and
GDPR data handling (Dublin region primary)
‣ Work closely with the DevOps/Infrastructure team on CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies (blue/green, canary),
infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and observability (Datadog)
Stakeholder Communication
‣ Serve as the primary technical voice in client-facing calls with Soleshire Ireland stakeholders — translating engineering
progress into clear business language
‣ Prepare technical status updates, architecture decision records (ADRs), and sprint increment demos for client review
sessions
‣ Engage constructively with client feedback, translating product change requests into technical impact assessments
and revised delivery timelines
