At myHQ, we’re reimagining how India works. We are building India’s largest marketplace platform for flexible workspaces helping individuals and teams across 25+ cities find workspaces that just work.
We’re a small, product-first team backed by ANAROCK, moving fast and solving real engineering problems at scale. This is where you’ll get to own systems end-to-end, not just push tickets.
About The Role
We’re looking for a Backend Technical Lead who can own the engineering vision for the platform end-to-end. This role is equal parts technical leadership, system & platform designs, and people management.
You will define our engineering roadmap, raise the bar on architecture, improve developer productivity (increasingly with AI in the everyday development loop), mentor engineers, and ensure high-quality sprint delivery.
This is ideal for someone who thinks in systems and enjoys combining hands-on coding with leadership.
Key Responsibilities
• Own architecture end-to-end: design,
build, and scale systems
• Set the long-term technical direction.
• Lead initiatives around performance, security, observability, and platform reliability.
• Set standards for testing and code quality that hold up when a large share of code is agent-written.
• Drive adoption of engineering best practices and current tooling across the org.
• Mentor and lead engineers in the team
• Own sprint planning, estimations, and delivery for engineering workstreams.
• Ensure predictable execution while balancing short-term needs with long-term tech health.
Desired Skills/ Experience
• 6 - 9 years building production-grade systems at scale.
• Expertise in least one backend framework or language
• Strong data modelling in both relational and document databases, and the judgment to know which one a problem wants.
• Fluency in the fundamentals: caching, queues and async work, idempotency, read scaling, c
