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 NodeJS 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 excellent 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.
