About the Opportunity
You’ll lead the engineering effort for a high-visibility, strategic project at one of our key clients.This is not a portfolio role—you’ll own full responsibility for the engineering delivery of this project in BFSI, define the architecture, lead the team, and drive it to go-live. If you like steering the ship for a major initiative end-to-end, this is your stage.
Roles \& Responsibilities
● Lead the engineering team responsible for a project: from requirements, architecture,
build, deployment, to maintenance.
● Work closely with the client (and internal stakeholders): manage technical discussions,
clarify expectations, translate business needs into technical solutions.
● Define and drive the technical architecture for the project: ensure scalability, reliability,
security, and performance.
● Set engineering standards, coding practices, QA processes, and deployment pipelines
specific to the project and ensure adherence.
● Plan resource allocation, delivery schedules, and risk registers, and ensure the project
stays on time, within scope and meets quality expectations.
● Monitor engineering KPIs (velocity, bug-rate, uptime, performance metrics) and use them
to drive continuous improvement.
● Oversee code reviews, guidance on full‐stack architecture (frontend, backend, APIs,
cloud).
● Mentor and grow team members involved in the project: build technical capability and
ownership for this project.
● Escalate roadblocks, propose mitigation plans, and take ownership of delivery issues.
● Collaborate with product, design, data science (if applicable), and operations to align
engineering output with business outcomes.
Qualifications \& Requirements
Must-Haves:
● Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
● Proven experience in software engineering (8+ years), including at least 3–4 years in a
managerial/lead engineering role (managing team(s) of engineers).
● Strong foundation in full-stack development: knowledge of frontend, backend, APIs,
databases, cloud architecture.
● Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP) and building/deploying
cloud-native applications.
● Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills: able to interact with
business and technical audiences.
● Demonstrated ability to work in agile delivery environments, leading engineering delivery
for a high-visibility project.
● Strong system design skills: scalable, secure, robust architectures.
Nice-to-Haves:
● Exposure to AI/ML product engineering or integrating ML models into deployed
solutions.
● Familiarity with DevOps/CI-CD practices, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and
infrastructure as code.
● Prior experience in a startup or high-growth environment with rapid delivery cycles.
What We Offer
● An opportunity to own and deliver a major project end-to-end — high visibility, high
impact.
● Work with a motivated team, cross-functional stakeholders, and cutting-edge
technologies.
● Chance to sharpen leadership and technical skills, mentor engineers, and build an
engineering culture around a project.
● Competitive compensation \& benefits aligned with senior leadership in engineering.
