Description
A Backend Tech Lead at Accellor owns the design, delivery, and long-term health of scalable, distributed backend systems while leading and growing the engineers who build them. This is a hands-on technical role with real people-management responsibility: you set technical direction, drive delivery across one or more squads, and actively mentor and unblock the engineers reporting into you. You are equally comfortable in a design review, a 1:1, and a production incident.
Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Architecture
- Own the architecture for backend services and platforms — microservices boundaries, API contracts, data models, and inter-service communication patterns.
- Make and document key technical decisions (build vs. buy, sync vs. async, consistency vs. availability trade-offs) and align teams around them.
- Set and enforce engineering standards: code quality, testing strategy, observability, and operational readiness.

People & Team Leadership
- Directly manage, mentor, and grow a team of backend engineers, including running 1:1s, setting goals,



giving feedback, and supporting career development.
- Plan, distribute, and track work across the team — breaking down epics, sequencing delivery, and removing blockers so the team ships predictably.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through pairing, code review, and design coaching, raising the bar for the whole team rather than being the single point of delivery.
- Partner with product, architecture, and other engineering leads to translate business goals into technical roadmaps and realistic commitments.

Delivery & Engineering Execution
- Lead by example with hands-on contribution to high-impact and complex parts of the codebase.
- Design and operate microservices: service decomposition, API design (REST/gRPC/GraphQL), versioning, and backward compatibility.
- Build event-driven and asynchronous workflows using message queues and streaming platforms (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, or similar).
