About The Position

We are looking for a Senior Technical Lead with a strong builder mindset to take full ownership of complex, large-scale technology initiatives. This role goes beyond coding — it is about architectural leadership, end-to-end system design, and delivering scalable production environments for ambitious, high-impact projects. You will act as the technical anchor across architecture, engineering execution, and client engagement — bridging deep technical expertise with strategic delivery.

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong experience in project-based environments (IT Services / Consultancy).
• Proven track record leading technical teams or serving as the primary architect on multi-layered systems.
• Deep knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and system performance optimization.
• Hands-on expertise in distributed systems, cloud-native architecture, and DevOps practices.
• Practical experience integrating AI/ML and IoT into production environments.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to improve engineering efficiency.
• M.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a strictly relevant technical field.

Nice To Haves

• You think in systems, not tickets.
• You balance architectural depth with execution speed.
• You are comfortable owning decisions in high-stakes environments.
• You can communicate complex technical ideas clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• ▫️You thrive in fast-moving, high-growth contexts.

Benefits

• Work on ambitious, high-scale projects with real-world impact.
• Architectural ownership — not just implementation tasks.
• Exposure to cutting-edge Cloud, AI, and distributed technologies.
• High autonomy, technical influence, and leadership growth.
