About Blitz

Blitz powers India’s fastest e-commerce deliveries, enabling 60-minute and same-day fulfillment for brands like Decathlon, Adidas, Puma, and Purplle. Our systems use AI-driven logistics, real-time decisioning, and high-scale distributed architecture to deliver 98%+ success and 50% lower RTOs.

We’re hiring a Senior Engineering Lead who focuses on solving problems, driving outcomes, and measuring impact. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who owns delivery end-to-end, leads critical systems, and raises engineering excellence across teams.

Role Overview

As a Senior Engineering Lead, you will:

  • Lead multiple engineering initiatives from conception to measurable impact.
  • Act as a hands-on IC for critical systems — design, code, review, and debug.
  • Solve real business and operational problems, not just deliver requirements.
  • Define success metrics for every project and validate solutions through data and monitoring.
  • Improve reliability, observability, and performance across the tech stack.
  • Influence engineers through technical depth, clarity, and high execution standards.

Key Responsibilities

Outcome-Driven Engineering

  • Work backwards from the problem and architect solutions tied to clear business metrics (latency, reliability, throughput, DRR).
  • Measure and monitor everything — dashboards, alerts, logs, SLOs.
  • Iterate continuously until expected outcomes are achieved.

Hands-On Technical Leadership

  • Write and review clean, scalable, high-quality code.
  • Debug production issues quickly and lead root-cause analysis.
  • Architect modular, fault-tolerant, and resilient systems.

Execution & Process Leadership

  • Plan, track, and deliver multiple engineering projects on time.
  • Create strong engineering processes: CI/CD, testing, deployment checks, observability.
  • Maintain a high-velocity, low-defect release culture.

Mentorship & Influence

  • Mentor engineers on system design, debugging, and problem-solving.
  • Set and enforce engineering standards for quality, clarity, and measurable impact.
  • Lead by example — influencing through capability, not hierarchy.

Required Qualifications

Technical Expertise

  • Graduates from IITs, NITs or other Tier-1 colleges.
  • 7–9 years of backend/full-stack engineering experience, with leadership responsibilities.
  • Strong command of Java (Spring Boot), Python (Django/FastAPI), or Golang.
  • Deep understanding of microservices, CQRS, DDD, and event-driven architecture.
  • Experience with PostgreSQL, NoSQL, Redis/Hazelcast and opensearch.
  • Familiarity with messaging systems such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWS SQS.
  • Comfortable with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, AWS (ECS, EC2, API Gateway, Cognito).
  • Knowledge of Prometheus, Grafana, distributed tracing.

Leadership Experience

  • Led multiple engineering projects to measurable outcomes.
  • Strong ability to identify risks early and design preventive systems.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and raising technical standards.
  • Able to balance hands-on execution with architecture and planning.

Mindset & Culture Fit

  • Outcome-first, not output-first.
  • Thinks in metrics and root causes, not assumptions.
  • Ownership-driven — uptime, reliability, and system health matter personally.
  • Thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments.

Bonus Skills

  • Experience with AI-assisted development or AI agents.
  • Background in logistics, supply chain, fintech, or high-scale transactional platforms.
  • Expertise in performance engineering or incident management.

Why Blitz

  • Contribute to systems powering millions of deliveries and decisions daily.
  • Be part of a culture that values speed, clarity, reliability, and impact.
  • Work on real-world, high-scale challenges that deliver immediate measurable outcomes.
  • Shape India’s next-generation commerce and logistics ecosystem.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
