PAN India Full-Time Senior

About this role

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on Tech Lead to own our Android and iOS app platforms end-to-end, along with the Java-based middleware layer that powers them. You will lead a pod of engineers, work closely with Product, Design, Analytics and Business, and be accountable for both how fast we ship and how reliably the platform runs. This is a technical leadership role, not a purely managerial one: you will still reason about code, architecture and trade-offs, set technical direction, and step in on the hardest problems yourself

What You Will Own

- Mobile platforms: architecture, release management, performance and stability for both the Android and iOS applications

. • Backend & middleware: the Java middleware layer between the apps and core services, handling millions of requests a day with high availability.

• Engineering leadership: technical decision-making, code and architecture reviews, hiring, mentoring and delivery for your pod. • Release & reliability: release processes, feature rollout safety, observability and the platform's overall reliability posture.

- Scale & expansion: enabling new brand and new market launches on the existing codebase without forking it. What You Will Do
- Set and drive the technical roadmap for the mobile platforms and the middleware, balancing feature delivery against platform and tech-debt investment.
- Lead a team of engineers across mobile and backend, owning hiring, mentoring, performance and day-to-day delivery.
- Make and defend architecture decisions, including what ships in the binary versus what is configured dynamically from the server.
- Own release safety across app stores feature flags, staged rollout, kill switches and lead incident response when things break in production.
- Keep Android and iOS at feature parity without duplicating every effort, and keep both platforms fast, stable and within crash and performance budgets.




- Partner with Product and Business to connect technical work to measurable outcomes, and to launch new brands and markets on the existing platform. What We Are Looking For
- Significant hands-on experience owning production Android and iOS applications at scale, with genuine depth in at least one and solid command of the other.
- Strong backend engineering ability in Java, including designing services for high availability, handling partial failures, caching correctly in e-commerce paths and managing API versioning for users who cannot be force-upgraded.
- A track record of leading engineering teams — setting technical direction, hiring well, handling underperformance, and negotiating scope and timelines credibly with Product.
- Practical debugging depth: the ability to diagnose cold-start regressions, ANRs, memory leaks, retain cycles and production incidents using real tooling, not just describe them.
- Sound judgment on trade-offs migrations, server-driven configuration, multi-brand and multi-region architecture — with clear reasoning about cost and risk.
- Experience with high-scale consumer e-commerce or similarly demanding mobile products is strongly preferred.
