Technical Lead • Lead

Who you are

You have over 5 years of experience developing scalable and reliable backend services — you've managed teams and contributed to the architecture of complex systems. Your proficiency with programming languages such as Go, Ruby, Python, C++, Java, and Kotlin allows you to adapt to various technical challenges. You possess in-depth knowledge of databases and messaging systems, including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, and RabbitMQ, which enables you to design efficient data flows and storage solutions. Your upper-intermediate English proficiency ensures effective communication within diverse teams.

You thrive in collaborative environments — working closely with cross-functional teams, including designers, testers, and product managers, to gather requirements and discuss project goals is second nature to you. You are committed to writing clean, scalable, and efficient code, and you take pride in reviewing and providing feedback on your peers' work to maintain high standards of code quality. You understand the importance of technical documentation and are skilled at maintaining software design documents and user guides.

Desirable

Experience with cloud services like AWS and infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform is a plus. Familiarity with container orchestration using Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins will enhance your ability to lead technical projects effectively.

Your role will involve close collaboration with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and define project goals, ensuring that all technical requirements are thoroughly analyzed and evaluated.

You will be responsible for writing clean, scalable, and efficient code primarily in Go, while also leveraging your knowledge of other languages as needed.
