Tech Lead

Backend Engineering — Python (Django / Flask)

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Tech Lead to drive the design, development, and delivery of our backend systems. In this role you will combine hands-on engineering with technical leadership — setting direction, mentoring engineers, and owning the quality and scalability of the services your team builds.

You will work primarily within a Python ecosystem (Django or Flask), deploy and operate workloads on AWS, and design event-driven data flows using Apache Kafka. Beyond writing code, you will be accountable for architecture decisions, engineering standards, and the growth of the people on your team.

Key Responsibilities
- Lead the technical design and architecture of backend services, APIs, and data pipelines, balancing scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
- Own delivery of features end to end — from requirements and design through implementation, code review, testing, deployment, and production support.
- Provide hands-on engineering contribution, writing high-quality,



well-tested Python code and setting the standard for the team.
- Mentor and guide engineers, conducting code reviews, pairing, and supporting career growth and skill development.
- Define and enforce engineering best practices around coding standards, testing, CI/CD, observability, and security.
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to translate business goals into technical roadmaps.
- Design and operate event-driven systems using Kafka for reliable, scalable inter-service communication.
- Manage cloud infrastructure and deployments on AWS, optimising for cost, performance, and resilience.
- Identify and resolve technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and production incidents.
