The role

Pick up the cross-cutting problems: performance, reliability, data models, the integration that three teams depend on. Scope them, build the first version, and leave behind something others can extend.

You work with the engineers and clients directly, and you are accountable for outcomes, not tickets.

02

Requirements

  • Nine or more years of professional software engineering, with demonstrated ownership of large systems
  • Strong fundamentals: distributed systems, databases, APIs, testing
  • Evidence you raise the output of the engineers around you
  • Comfortable defending a design to a client and to a sceptical peer
03

Nice to have

  • Experience in enterprise software or fintech
  • Prior tech-lead or architecture responsibility
04

Compensation

₹42,00,000 – ₹70,00,000 per year. Fixed pay shown; variable pay and benefits are additional where the role has them. Salaries are negotiable based on experience.

Resume, a short note, and anything that shows how you think. Specifics beat adjectives.

  • Show something you built, not something you managed.
  • Scale, constraints, and trade-offs land better than adjectives.
  • A short note reads better than a long one.
