Technical Lead

Role Overview

We're searching for a Technical Lead to join our Engineering team in Bengaluru location. This is a senior technical leadership role built around quality-led, AI-first product and quality engineering. You will define and drive the application architecture for our platform — designing scalable, resilient systems in.NET and Angular/React — while embedding quality engineering into every architectural decision.

What You Will Do

Own and evolve the application architecture for full-stack systems built on.NET (C#, ASP.NET Core) and Angular/React, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and quality by design. Design quality-first architectures: embed testability, observability, fault isolation, and graceful degradation as first-class architectural concerns — not afterthoughts.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We're looking for someone who sees quality not as a phase but as an architectural property, who leads through technical excellence, and who thrives at the intersection of product engineering, quality engineering, and AI-driven innovation.

Requirements

• 12-15+ Years of hands-on software engineering experience, with 4+ years in Leading or principal/staff engineer role
• Deep expertise in.NET framework (C#, ASP.NET,.NET Core) and modern frontend frameworks (Angular 10+ and/or ReactJS with TypeScript)
• Proven experience designing and owning application architectures: service decomposition, API design, data modelling, and system integration patterns
• Strong proficiency in microservice architecture, event-driven programming, async design patterns, and distributed systems
• Extensive experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and Web APIs with a focus on contract-first design
• Strong knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript for building robust, accessible user interfaces
• Solid experience with relational databases (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL) including schema design, query optimisation, and performance tuning
• Expert-level quality engineering mindset: deep experience with test automation frameworks, unit/integration/end-to-end testing, contract testing, and performance/load testing at the architecture level
• Proven ability to embed quality gates in CI/CD pipelines — linting, static analysis, test coverage thresholds, security scanning, and automated regression
• Strong understanding of quality management principles: defect prevention strategies, root cause analysis, test planning, quality metrics, and continuous quality improvement across the product lifecycle
• Demonstrated expertise using AI-powered development tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, AI code-review/test-generation tools) and defining AI SDLC standards for engineering teams
• Experience with version control systems (Git), branching strategies, and code review practices at scale
• Strong architecture documentation skills — ADRs, system design documents, sequence diagrams, and quality engineering playbooks
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to articulate technical decisions to both engineering and business audiences
• Proven ability to mentor and lead engineers across multiple teams; strong track record of raising the technical and quality bar
