The environment is highly collaborative, with opportunities to work across functions and influence platform strategy at scale. You will work with modern backend and cloud technologies, including Java, Kafka, Spring Boot, Quarkus, AWS, and SQL/NoSQL databases. This opportunity is well suited to an experienced engineering leader who enjoys solving complex problems and building scalable, reliable technology.

  • Contribute to the design and evolution of scalable backend systems using modern cloud and distributed technologies.
  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant experience leading engineering teams.
  • Proven experience managing and developing engineering teams, ideally within fintech or another complex, highly regulated technology environment.
  • Strong problem-solving, technical judgment, and decision-making capabilities.
  • Strong experience with Java 17 or 21, with solid knowledge of backend development principles.
  • Hands-on knowledge of Kafka, Spring Boot, Quarkus, AWS, and SQL/NoSQL databases.
  • Strong understanding of scalable backend architectures, cloud platforms, distributed systems, and modern software engineering practices.
  • Experience collaborating across multiple engineering or organizational teams to deliver cross-cutting technical initiatives.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to align technical and non-technical partners.
  • A strong ownership mindset, with the ability to take accountability for outcomes and make decisions with purpose.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, or similar technologies is a plus.
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative environment and promote learning, innovation, and continuous improvement.
  • Legal authorization to work in India from the first day of employment; visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
  • Willingness to work from or relocate to Pune, India, as required by the role.
  • Opportunity to lead a high-impact backend engineering function and influence platform strategy at scale.
