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 4 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).
- Experience refactoring legacy structures into modern, domain-driven architectures.
PERKS AND BENEFITS
- Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
- Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
- Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
- Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
