Job Description:
Lead Software Engineer -Full stack
Description
We are seeking a highly technical Lead Software Engineer to drive the architecture,
scalability, and engineering excellence of our core platforms. This role is ideal for
someone who thrives on solving complex engineering problems and scaling distributed
systems in production. You will design, build, and optimize full-stack systems with a
strong focus on microservices, event-driven architecture, and cloud-native DevOps.
You’ll work across the stack, from backend services and frontend performance to CI/CD,
observability, and security.
Responsibilities
1. Architecture & Scalability
• Architect and implement highly scalable microservices-based systems using Python
(Django) or Node.js.
• Design event-driven architectures using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWS SQS/SNS.
• Build low-latency, high-throughput APIs, utilizing Redis/Memcached and CDNs.
• Apply distributed systems patterns (e.g., CQRS, Saga, Circuit Breaker) for resilience
and consistency.
• Use container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes) and serverless platforms (AWS
Lambda, Azure Functions) for scalable, cloud-native deployments.
2. Full-Stack Engineering
• Build RESTful or gRPC APIs with Python (Django), or Node.js (Express/NestJS).
• Develop high-performance frontend applications with React.js (Next.js), TypeScript,
and state management (Redux, Zustand).
• Design optimized database schemas across PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or
Cassandra, with attention to indexing, replication, and sharding.
• Implement real-time features using WebSockets (Socket.io) or GraphQL subscriptions.
3. DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure
• Build and automate CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins with
IaC tools like Terraform or Pulumi.
• Manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS, GKE, AKS) using Helm and service meshes (Istio,
Linkerd).
• Set up robust monitoring and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana,
OpenTelemetry, ELK).
• Deploy security-first infrastructure in AWS, GCP, or Azure, following DevSecOps best
practices.
4. Code Quality & Security
• Enforce engineering standards via linters (ESLint, Pylint), static analysis (SonarQube),
and automated testing (Jest, Pytest).
• Conduct security audits and integrate SAST/DAST tools (Snyk, OWASP ZAP, Trivy)
into CI/CD.
• Implement zero-trust architectures using OAuth 2.0, JWT, and RBAC for access
control.
• Ensure compliance with OWASP Top 10 and other secure development standards.
Eligibility

✅ Deep backend experience in Python (Django) or Node.js (Express/NestJS).
✅ Strong frontend experience with React.js, TypeScript, and Next.js.
✅ Proven experience in microservices, event-driven architectures, and message
brokers like Kafka or RabbitMQ.
✅ Hands-on expertise in both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB,
Redis, Cassandra).
✅ Solid DevOps skills including Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud
platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
✅ Strong knowledge of secure coding practices, API security, and web application
hardening.
