Our MERN stack team is passionate about technology, and we love building scalable web solutions, keeping performance in mind. We are looking for a hands-on MERN Tech Lead who can lead a pod of 4–5 engineers while actively contributing to production code.

You will play a critical role in driving delivery for strategic accounts, establishing technical credibility with clients, and balancing coding, leadership & client communication.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design and implement scalable, maintainable full-stack solutions

- Write clean, testable, production-grade code and enforce code quality via reviews





- Troubleshoot complex production issues and performance bottlenecks

- Lead a small team of engineers with transparent ownership of delivery

- Drive sprint planning, task breakdown, and technical execution

- Mentor team members and elevate overall code quality and productivity

- Ensure adherence to coding standards, architecture patterns, and best practices

- Act as a technical SPOC for clients

- Participate in requirement discussions, estimations, and technical proposals

- Build trust with clients through strong technical execution and communication

- Contribute to account growth by identifying opportunities and improvements

- Define scalable architecture for MERN applications

- Guide frontend architecture (React/Next.js, state management, performance)

- Design backend services (Node.js, Express/NestJS, APIs, database modeling)

- Implement best practices for security, caching, and scalability

- Introduce and enforce modern tooling (Vite, NX, CI/CD pipelines)

- Implement testing strategies (unit, integration, E2E)

- Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity

- Ensure performance optimization and observability standards

Required Skills:

- Strong hands-on expertise in:

- React.js / Next.js

- Node.js (Express.js or NestJS)

- MongoDB and PostgreSQL (schema design, performance tuning)

- Solid understanding of system design, API architecture, and scalability

- Proven experience leading small teams (4–6 engineers) while coding actively

- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in production environments

- Experience working directly with clients in requirement gathering and delivery

- Knowledge of state management (Redux, React Query, etc.)
