Vimly Benefit Solutions is a leading employee perks administration company on a mission to modernize how organizations manage and deliver benefits. We're in the middle of an exciting transformation: moving our backend systems from a legacy platform to a modern serverless Node.js architecture on AWS. We're growing our engineering team in India to help make it happen, and we'd love for you to be part of it.
About the Role
As a Lead Software Engineer, you'll be a technical anchor on our modernization program -the most complex, highest-impact engineering initiative at Vimly. You'll drive architectural decisions, mentor senior engineers, and own end-to-end delivery of critical system components. You'll stay close to the work: leading design reviews, shaping what gets built, and being accountable for the quality and performance of what your team ships.

The right candidate brings deep SQL expertise, strong Node.js/TypeScript capability, and a track record of delivering large-scale legacy-to-modern migrations. You bring technical credibility, sound judgment, and the ability to raise the bar for everyone -humans and AI agents alike.
How We Build: AI-First Engineering
We do things differently here. Vimly is an AI-first engineering team - we use AI to build everything. AI agents write most of our code, and our engineers direct them. That changes what we look for in an engineer, and we think it makes the job a lot more compelling.
Your value isn't measured in lines of code typed; it's measured in judgment. You'll use your deep experience to g
