The Lead Engineer will guide technical direction, drive code quality, mentor junior and mid-level resources, and ensure secure, performant, production-ready delivery across frontend, backend, integration, database, cloud, CI/CD, testing, and AI-assisted engineering practices.

About The Role

• Lead overall development for full stack applications, including technical planning, design decisions, implementation approach, delivery sequencing, and release readiness.
• Translate business and product problems into scalable engineering solutions by choosing the right architecture, framework, design patterns, tools, and integration approach.
• Design, develop, and maintain scalable, secure, high-performance backend services and microservices using Java, Spring Boot, Spring Batch and related frameworks.
• Architect and develop RESTful APIs, streaming services, and event-driven components using Java-based technologies, Apache Camel, Kafka, and cloud-native patterns.
• Implement robust data models and integrations with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Oracle. Optimize database queries, indexes, schemas, transactions, and access patterns to ensure high performance, reliability, and operational efficiency.
• Implement data persistence layers using JPA/Hibernate or other ORM frameworks, ensuring clean entity modeling, efficient data access, and maintainable repository patterns.
• Lead frontend development using modern JavaScript frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue integrated with Java backends and API-driven application patterns.
• Conduct architecture reviews, code reviews, design walkthroughs, and technical grooming sessions; enforce coding standards, security guidelines, and engineering best practices.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through technical coaching, pair programming, design reviews, troubleshooting support, and structured knowledge-sharing.
• Collaborate with DevOps to containerize, deploy, monitor, and operate applications using Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and cloud platforms such as Azure or GCP.
• Adopt Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles where appropriate by defining clear domain models, bounded contexts, service boundaries, aggregates, and ubiquitous language in collaboration with architects, product owners, and business stakeholders
• Define and promote test strategy across unit, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing to reduce production defects.
