The Mission:
We are looking for seasoned Senior Technical Leads who relish solving deep, challenging engineering problems at petabyte scale. In this high-leverage IC leadership role, you will define the architectural foundation of our next-generation AI content performance platform, setting technical standards and mentoring senior engineers across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Architectural Leadership: Architect, design, and implement fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable backend microservices and data pipelines capable of handling billions of records.
- Technical Strategy & Standards: Author authoritative Technical Design Documents (TDDs), conduct rigorous architecture reviews, and resolve complex distributed systems bottlenecks.
- Hands-On Craftsmanship: Lead by example with clean, testable, high-performance code in Python, Java, Go, or C++. Tackle the most critical, ambiguous technical challenges directly.
- Technical Mentorship & Influence: Coach and uplevel senior and mid-level engineers. Foster a culture of technical rigour, design elegance, and high engineering velocity without needing direct management authority.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineering Directors to assess technical feasibility, evaluate build vs. buy decisions, and de-risk roadmaps.
Required Qualifications:
- 8+ years of progressive backend engineering experience, with 2+ years operating at a Tech Lead level.
- Deep expertise in modern programming languages (Python, Java, Go, or C++) and mastery of concurrency, asynchronous processing, and memory optimisation.
- Proven track record designing high-throughput distributed systems, event-driven architectures (Kafka, Spark), and distributed caching.
- Deep understanding of database internals, query optimisation, and schema design across both relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and analytical/columnar databases (ClickHouse, Snowflake, Redshift).
- Strong familiarity with cloud-native architectures (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to articulate complex technical trade-offs to both junior engineers and executive leaders.
Please note: All shortlisted candidates must be physically present in New Delhi (NCR) | Oct 15 - Oct 20. Venue: WeWork Eldeco Centre, 2nd Floor, Malviya Nagar, New Delhi, Delhi 110017
