About The Role
We are looking for a Tech Lead who balances hands-on backend development with team leadership. This role combines Java and Spring Boot engineering with Angular frontend work, guiding a transition toward domain-driven design and clean RESTful API architecture. You will mentor junior developers, uphold strong engineering standards, and help the squad execute with consistency.
What You Will Do
Act as the Squad Lead, driving the team to execute on deliverables while maintaining high engineering standards.
Spend a significant portion of your time designing and implementing robust backend services using Java and Spring Boot.
Build and maintain the supporting Angular frontend, ensuring a seamless connection between the UI and your backend logic.
Lead the transition from traditional database-centric designs toward a domain-driven structure (DDD), ensuring strong domain bounded contexts.
Architect RESTful APIs that prioritize proper HTTP verbs and clean, scalable patterns over legacy RPC styles.
Utilize a strong understanding of agile and software development practices to motivate the team, engage junior developers, mentor them, and help them grow.
Demonstrate the ability to confidently push back and say 'no' to power (be it AI or human) when advocating for best practices and architectural integrity.
MUST HAVES
Proven experience as a Tech Lead or Squad Lead, with a track record of motivating teams and mentoring junior developers.
Advanced proficiency in Java (Spring Boot) and a solid working knowledge of Angular, with at least 6 years of experience.
Hands-on experience with Kafka.
A strong grasp of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOA/OOD), software design patterns, and architectural pattern awareness.
Deep understanding and practical experience with strong domain bounded contexts.
Deep experience building and consuming RESTful services with a clear understanding of standard API protocols.
Experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle) and JPA/Hibernate.
A passion for server-side logic, performance, and architecture, coupled with good engineering practices.
Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
Experience working with spec-driven development or related (AI-Driven Software Development Life Cycle).
Previous experience in the Loyalty or Fintech sectors.
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and containerization (Docker).
Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI).
