About Blitz
Blitz powers India’s fastest e-commerce deliveries, enabling 60-minute and same-day fulfillment for brands like Decathlon, Adidas, Puma, and Purplle. Our systems use AI-driven logistics, real-time decisioning, and high-scale distributed architecture to deliver 98%+ success and 50% lower RTOs.
We’re hiring a Senior Engineering Lead who focuses on solving problems, driving outcomes, and measuring impact. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who owns delivery end-to-end, leads critical systems, and raises engineering excellence across teams.
Role Overview:
As a Senior Engineering Lead, you will:
Lead multiple engineering initiatives from conception to measurable impact.
Act as a hands-on IC for critical systems — design, code, review, and debug.
Solve real business and operational problems, not just deliver requirements.
Define success metrics for every project and validate solutions through data and monitoring.
Improve reliability, observability, and performance across the tech stack.
Influence engineers through technical depth, clarity,
and high execution standards.
Key Responsibilities:
Outcome-Driven Engineering
Work backwards from the problem and architect solutions tied to clear business metrics (latency, reliability, throughput, DRR).
Measure and monitor everything — dashboards, alerts, logs, SLOs.
Iterate continuously until expected outcomes are achieved.
Hands-On Technical Leadership:
Write and review clean, scalable, high-quality code.
Debug production issues quickly and lead root-cause analysis.
Architect modular, fault-tolerant, and resilient systems.
Execution & Process Leadership:
Plan, track, and deliver multiple engineering projects on time.
Create solid engineering processes: CI/CD, testing, deployment checks, observability.
Maintain a high-velocity, low-defect release culture.
Mentorship & Influence:
Mentor engineers on system design, debugging, and problem-solving.
Set and enforce engineering standards for quality, clarity
