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).
