? Job Title: TEAM LEAD JAVA – iGaming

? Location: Hyderabad

? Type: Full-time

? Industry: iGaming / Online Casino / Live Casino Job Summary:

Vortech is a fast-growing B2B SaaS company building enterprise-grade platforms for global partners. We are establishing our Hyderabad engineering hub and looking for a Java Team Lead to be one of its founding members. You will own technical delivery end-to-end, collaborate as a peer with our engineering teams across hubs, and help define what great engineering looks like in Hyderabad.

You will sit at the intersection of hands-on engineering and team leadership — writing code, guiding juniors, and ensuring what gets shipped is reliable, scalable, and delivers real value to our enterprise clients.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the design and delivery of microservices and backend systems that form the core of Vortech's B2B platform.

Make and defend architectural decisions — data models, API contracts, service boundaries — in collaboration with senior engineers across hubs.

Set and enforce coding standards, PR review practices.

Be the technical point of contact for the Hyderabad hub in cross-team discussions with other hubs.

Contribute hands-on code — this is a lead role, not a manager role.

Guide and mentor junior and mid-level engineers in the Hyderabad team; accelerate their growth through structured feedback and pairing.

Participate in hiring — technical interviews, code assessments, and culture-fit evaluations for the growing Hyderabad team.

Foster a team culture of ownership, peer accountability, and continuous improvement.

Own sprint-level delivery commitments — plan, estimate, identify risks early, and unblock the team.

Champion engineering quality:



test coverage, CI/CD discipline, observability, and zero-surprise production deployments.

Track and improve DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, MTTR) as a measure of team health.

Collaborate with QA to embed quality upstream — not as a handoff, but as a shared responsibility.

Translate technical constraints into business language clearly — proactively, not reactively.

Identify technical debt that impacts product velocity or client experience and build a case for addressing it.
