About the Role
We are looking for a strong MERN Stack Technical Lead / Solution Architect with 6–8 years of experience in modern, scalable web development and cloud-based architectures (AWS/Azure).
This is a hands-on leadership role requiring deep system design expertise, strong database knowledge, and cloud architecture experience, along with the ability to guide teams and make critical technical decisions.
The ideal candidate will lead a high-performing engineering team, own solution architecture, drive best practices, and proactively solve technical and team challenges—not just execute instructions.
We are not looking for a "yes person" but a proactive contributor who challenges ideas constructively, suggests improvements, and leads by example.

- Design and optimize database architecture (SQL & NoSQL) for performance and scalability
- Drive cloud-native architecture and deployment strategies on AWS or Azure, optimizing performance and cost
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Product, QA, DevOps, Design) to deliver features with high quality and velocity
- Provide technical mentorship to team members and conduct code reviews and technical assessments
- Manage and lead engineering teams, ensuring delivery ownership and team growth
- Proactively identify risks, propose solutions, and take ownership of resolving bottlenecks without waiting for escalation
- Advocate for continuous improvement in code, architecture, and team practices
- Communicate clearly with stakeholders and push back constructively when needed
- Leverage AI tools and low-code/no-code platforms to accelerate development, automation, and productivity

- Solid grasp of system design, data structures, microservices, and API design
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Git, Docker, and cloud-native tools
- Strong debugging, performance tuning, and optimization skills
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate solutions, challenge ideas, and influence decisions
- Ability to work independently and make judgment calls in ambiguous situations
- Should be proficient in doing development with AI tools and low-code/no-code platforms. Must have hands-on experience in using such tools for accelerating development and automation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in deploying application in AWS/Azure
- Experience with container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, ECS, AKS)
