WHERE YOU'LL BE?
🌍 Remote, anywhere in India (isn't that great!)
WHAT YOU'LL DO?
You're the engineering mastermind. Here's how you'll orchestrate the symphony:
Build & Scale Like a Boss: Architect robust backend systems using Java & Spring Boot + Node.js that can handle millions of transactions without breaking a sweat. Your code doesn't just work—it scales, performs, and makes other developers weep with joy.
Frontend & Mobile Wizardry: Lead the charge on creating stunning user experiences with React.js for web and React Native (or native code) for mobile apps. Make interfaces so smooth that users forget they're dealing with complex financial data. Because let's face it, everyone's on their phones these days.
DevOps Dynamo: Own our entire Azure server stack, deployments, and CI/CD pipelines. Automation isn't just nice-to-have—it's your love language. Make deployments so seamless that they happen while you're sipping coffee.
QA & Quality Mastermind: Lead comprehensive quality assurance across manual testing, automation frameworks (Selenium, Cypress, Jest), performance testing, and release management. You'll build bulletproof QA processes that catch bugs before they even think about existing. Quality isn't just a phase for you—it's a mindset.
Team Whisperer: Lead and inspire teams across Software Dev, Backend, Frontend, DevOps, and Data Engineering. You're not just managing—you're mentoring, motivating, and making everyone around you better.
Innovation Driver: Stay ahead of the tech curve, experiment with cutting-edge frameworks, and bring disruptive ideas that make competitors nervous.
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE?
Leadership Experience: 8+ years of hands-on engineering experience with 4+ years leading high-performing teams. You've managed complex distributed systems and scaled teams from that scrappy 10-person startup vibe to smooth 100+ person operations. Fintech experience? That's like finding a unicorn (and we love unicorns).
Technical Mastery: You're a Java & Spring Boot sensei who dreams in Spring annotations. React.js flows through your veins, and you've shipped mobile apps (React Native or native) that users actually love. Azure cloud services, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD—you've built production-grade infrastructure that scales.
Security Guardian: Champion information security across our entire stack. From secure coding practices and vulnerability assessments to network security and data encryption, you'll ensure our fintech platform is Fort Knox-level secure. Because when you're handling SME financial data, "good enough" security isn't good enough.
Degree Power: Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience that makes us go "wow").
