- 8+ years in software engineering, including time as an Engineering Manager or lead with direct people responsibility.
- BE/Btech graduate.
- Comfortable in working from office.
- Has owned delivery for a backend team shipping production services.
- Strong communicator — can explain a technical issue to a customer and a trade-off to leadership.
- Has handled customer or production escalations: triage, communication, and close-out.
- Working fluency with distributed backend systems: APIs, gRPC, Kafka or equivalent, data stores, caches.
- Hands-on enough in Node.js (JavaScript / TypeScript) and/or Go to review designs and debug with the
- team.
- Understands deploying and operating services on a public cloud (GCP and/or DigitalOcean preferred).
- Can work from production evidence: logs, metrics, traces, Grafana or equivalent.

Roles and responsibilities
Architecture & Design Leadership
- Lead, coach, and grow a backend engineering team: 1:1s, performance, hiring, and career growth.
- Own delivery: scope, sequencing, risk, and shipping against the roadmap.
- Unblock the team — priorities, dependencies, design decisions, and operational load.
Customers & Communication
- Communicate clearly with customers, support, product, and engineering — no jargon hiding the actual status.
- Unblock customers from a technical perspective: reproduce, triage, explain impact, and drive a fix or workaround.
- Own customer escalations: join the call, set expectations, coordinate the engineering response, and close the loop.
Technical Leadership
- Hold the bar on architecture, reviews, testing, and production readiness for backend systems.
- Make or facilitate calls across services, data stores, and messaging — without becoming the bottleneck.
- Partner with SDE-3s and tech leads on RFCs, incidents, and the technical roadmap.
Production
- Ensure the team can deploy, roll back, and debug services on GCP and DigitalOcean.
- Drive incident response and post-incident follow-through when production or a customer is hurting.
Engineering Practices
- Install simple habits: design reviews, on-call, observability, documentation.
- Use AI tools for coding, review, tests, and docs; keep accountability with the engineer who ships.
