This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable writing production code, architecting systems, and mentoring a team - and who thrives on picking up new tools and technologies as project needs evolve, rather than sticking to a single fixed stack.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign, develop, and maintain full stack applications spanning backend services, frontend interfaces, and data layers.\nLead and mentor a team of 5-6 developers - assigning work, conducting code reviews, unblocking issues, and owning delivery quality and timelines.\nOwn system design and architecture decisions for new features and services, balancing scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.\nBuild and maintain backend services in Java and Python, and frontend applications using React JS.\nApply AI/ML concepts and tools where relevant to enhance product features or internal tooling.\nContainerize applications with Docker and support deployment on cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP).\nDesign efficient, well-structured SQL schemas and queries; optimize database performance.\nDrive engineering best practices: Git workflows, code review standards, CI/CD, testing, and documentation.\nCollaborate with product managers, architects, and other stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.\nEvaluate and rapidly adopt new tools, frameworks, or languages as project requirements demand.\nParticipate in technical planning, estimation, and risk identification for projects across the portfolio.\nRequired Skills & Experience\n8-10 years of overall software development experience, with demonstrated full stack delivery.\nProven experience leading a team of 5-6 developers, including mentoring, code review, and delivery ownership.\nStrong hands-on expertise in Java for backend development.\nStrong hands-on expertise in React JS for frontend development.\nWorking proficiency in Python.\nWorking knowledge of AI/ML concepts, tools, or frameworks (e.g., applied ML, LLM integration, or data science fundamentals).\nPractical experience with Docker for containerization.\nSolid working knowledge of at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).\nStrong SQL skills - schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning.\nDemonstrated ability to design scalable, maintainable systems (system design fundamentals: caching, load balancing, microservices, API design, etc.).\nProficiency with Git and standard branching/collaboration workflows.\nExpert, daily use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) to accelerate coding, debugging, and code review.\nA polyglot mindset - genuine willingness and ability to pick up new technologies, languages, or frameworks as project requirements dictate.\nPreferred / Nice to Have\nExposure to CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.\nExperience working in a distributed or GCC (Global Capability Center) setup supporting multiple business units or product lines.\nFamiliarity with Agile/Scrum delivery practices.\nPrior experience modernizing or rebuilding legacy platforms.\nWhat We're Looking For\nBeyond the technical checklist, we want someone who is curious, adaptable, and comfortable operating across ambiguity - a developer-leader who can go deep on any layer of the stack, guide a small team effectively, and is energized rather than daunted by switching technologies when a project calls for it.\nPlease note that we do not accept unsolicited resumes, work on a Corp-to-Corp basis, or engage with non-vetted external agencies.\nWhy Join Us?\nAt Cordance, we believe in taking care of our team members.
