Technical Lead – Full Stack & AI Engineering

Experience: 4+ years | Employment Type: Full-time | Role: Technical Leadership

We are seeking a hands-on Technical Lead with strong programming expertise across Node.js, Python, React.js, and AI technologies. You will be responsible for designing and building scalable software systems, guiding engineering teams, and working directly with clients to understand requirements and provide practical technical solutions. This role combines strong individual engineering contribution with team leadership and client-facing communication.

· Design, develop, and maintain scalable applications, backend services, APIs, microservices, and real-time systems.

· Build responsive frontend applications using React.js and robust backend services using Node.js and Python.

· Define system architecture, technology choices, database structures, integrations, and engineering standards.

· Identify performance, security, and reliability issues and drive effective solutions.

· Integrate AI/LLM capabilities into products, including model APIs, RAG pipelines, embeddings, agents, and vector databases.

· Evaluate emerging tools and technologies and recommend practical solutions for product requirements.

· Work with product and design teams to convert ideas and business needs into deliverable technical features.

· Lead, mentor, and support developers across frontend, backend, and AI workstreams.

· Break down requirements, estimate effort, assign tasks, track progress, and manage technical priorities.

· Conduct code reviews, encourage clean coding practices, and maintain quality through testing and documentation.

· Own technical delivery, resolve blockers, and coordinate with QA and DevOps through deployment and production support.

· Act as a technical point of contact for clients and participate in requirement-gathering and solution-design discussions.

· Understand business objectives and translate them into clear technical specifications, milestones, and development plans.

· Explain architecture, implementation choices, feasibility, risks, and limitations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

· Confidently handle client technical questions, provide progress updates, and communicate issues or dependencies early.

· Recommend solutions that balance scope, cost, timelines, maintainability, and scalability.

· Backend: Strong hands-on experience with Node.js and Python; familiarity with NestJS, Express.js, FastAPI, or Flask.

· Frontend: Strong experience with React.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, and modern frontend development practices.

· AI: Practical understanding of LLMs, RAG, embeddings, AI agents, prompt engineering, and tools such as OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or LangChain.

· Databases: Experience with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis, including schema design and query optimization.

· Cloud & DevOps: Working knowledge of AWS or another cloud platform, Docker, CI/CD, Git, Linux, and deployment workflows.

· Core Engineering: Strong system design, API design, debugging, security, performance optimization, and software architecture fundamentals.

· Proven ability to lead developers, provide constructive feedback, and build an accountable engineering team.

· Excellent verbal and written communication, with confidence in client-facing technical discussions.

· Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, planning, prioritization, and decision-making abilities.

· Ability to take ownership, work independently, manage multiple priorities, and perform effectively in a fast-paced environment.

The successful candidate can independently design and build a system, contribute production-quality code, guide developers through execution, and represent the engineering team confidently with clients. They take end-to-end ownership—from understanding the requirement and choosing the right architecture to delivering, deploying, and supporting a reliable solution.
