THE ROLE

We’re seeking a hands-on Full Stack Tech Lead with deep experience in Python and C#/.NET to design, build, and scale backend services, APIs, and integrations that power mission-critical workflows. You will own end-to-end delivery—from discovery and technical design to coding, automated testing, CI/CD, deployment, and production support—while ensuring performance, reliability, and security are baked into every stage. You’ll influence architecture decisions, establish coding standards and reusable libraries across Python and .NET, and make observability (logging, metrics, tracing), performance tuning, and security hardening (OWASP, secrets management) first-class concerns. You will collaborate with product managers and architects to translate requirements into elegant solutions, partner with DevOps. Although there are opportunities to mentor and guide peers, this role remains strongly hands-on, with the majority of time dedicated to writing and reviewing code, solving complex technical problems, and improving systems. Success means shipping maintainable, well-documented services, reducing operational toil through automation, and elevating engineering practices across the team.
