Technical Lead - Full Stack Engineering

Job Description

Job Title - Technical Lead -Full Stack Engineering (AI Build Line)

Role Overview

Our client is building a centralized AI Engineering capability within its Cyber organization to deliver secure, scalable, AI-enabled applications that improve productivity, automation, and user experience for Cyber teams.

The Technical Lead will own end-to-end technical delivery for a defined product area, providing hands-on engineering leadership while remaining actively involved in software development. This role combines full-stack development, cloud-native engineering, technical decision-making, and team leadership to deliver production-grade applications and AI-powered solutions.

This is not a people-management role. The successful candidate will lead through technical expertise, architecture, coding, design reviews, mentoring, and stakeholder collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Own technical delivery and solution execution for a defined product area within the AI Build Line.
• Design, develop, and maintain enterprise-grade applications using Angular, TypeScript, Java, and Spring Boot.
• Lead technical architecture discussions and drive engineering decisions balancing scalability, maintainability, security, and delivery speed.
• Build and integrate backend APIs, microservices, and enterprise integrations.
• Deploy, manage, and optimize applications running in AWS and Kubernetes environments.
• Define and enforce engineering standards for coding, testing, security, observability, documentation, and deployment practices.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Harness, or equivalent enterprise tooling.
• Partner with Product Owners, Cyber stakeholders, Architects, and Engineering teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Mentor team members through design reviews, code reviews, technical coaching, and hands-on guidance.
• Identify technical risks, implementation challenges, and dependencies while driving resolution and delivery accountability.

Must-Have Requirements

Experience (Total 12+)

• 8+ years of total software engineering experience.
• 3+ years of experience providing technical leadership, solution ownership, or technical delivery leadership.
• Proven experience delivering enterprise-grade applications in production environments.

Mandatory Technical Skills

• Strong Angular development experience.
• Strong TypeScript development experience.
• Strong Java development experience.

• Experience working with Kubernetes.
• Experience with CI/CD practices and tooling.
• Experience with secure software development practices.
• Experience building AI-enabled applications.
• Experience with Generative AI technologies.

Required Project Experience

Candidates should have hands-on experience in:

• Full-stack application development.
• Cloud-native application deployment.
• Enterprise application architecture and design.
• Production support and operational ownership.
• Technical leadership of delivery teams or engineering initiatives.

Good-to-Have Requirements

• Amazon Bedrock experience.
• Experience with conversational AI or assistant-based applications.
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience.
• Experience with AWS CDK, Helm Charts, or similar deployment frameworks.
• Experience with event-driven architectures.
• Experience with API management platforms.
